Telnet Management Interface
You could use the Telnet application protocol from a workstation on
your network to manage an AT-8316F or an AT-8324 Switch. This type of
management is referred to as remote management because you do not
have to be physically close to the switch to start the interface, such as
with a local management interface. Any workstation on your network
that has the application protocol can be used to manage the switch.
In terms of functionally, there are almost no differences between
managing a switch locally through the RS-232 Terminal Port and
remotely with the Telnet application protocol. You see the same menu
selections and have nearly the same management capabilities.
Starting a Telnet management interface requires that the Master switch
on your network that has an IP address. Once you have started a Telnet
management interface on the Master switch, you will have management
access to all the other AT-8316F and AT-8324 Switches that reside in the
same stack.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Interface
To start a Telnet management interface, specify the IP address of the
Master switch of the stack in the Telnet application protocol.
Note
An AT-8316F or AT-8324 switch must have an IP address and subnet
mask for you to be able to manage it using a Telnet utility. Refer to
How Do You Assign an IP Address? on page 42.
