Telnet Management Session
You can use the Telnet application protocol from a workstation on your
network to manage an AT-8350GB stack. This type of management is
referred to as remote management because you do not have to be
physically close to the stack to start the session, such as with a local
management session. Any workstation on your network that has the
Telnet application protocol can be used to manage a stack.
In terms of functionality, there are no differences between managing a
stack locally through the RS232 terminal port and remotely with the
Telnet application protocol. You see the same menu selections and have
the same management capabilities, except that you cannot perform IP
address assignment configurations in a Telnet session.
An AT-8350GB stack must have an IP address for you to manage it
remotely using the Telnet application protocol. You can assign an IP
address during a local management session. For instructions on how to
start a local management session, refer to the previous section of this
chapter.
Note
For background information on stacking, refer to Stacking on page
23.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Session
To start a Telnet management session, specify the IP address of the AT-
8350GB stack in the Telnet application protocol. Enter “manager” for
both the default login name and default password.
The Main Menu of a Telnet management session is the same menu that
you see in a local management session, as shown in Figure 3 on page 30.
The menus also function the same way. To make a selection, type its
corresponding letter. To return to a previous menu, type Q.
Note
You can run only one Telnet management session on a switch at a
time. Additionally, you cannot run both a Telnet management
session and a local management session on the same switch at the
same time.
Quitting from a
Telnet
Management
Session
To quit a Telnet session, return to the main menu and type Q for Quit.
