In-Band Management
In-band network management allows you to configure, manage, and monitor
the IntraCore 8000 over the Ethernet network.
You can perform these functions by accessing the IntraCore 8000 via any of
the following methods:
G By connecting with a telnet program and using the Local Manage-
ment Interface.
G By connecting with any World Wide Web browser, and using the
Web Management Interface.
G By connecting with any SNMP-based network management appli-
cation and using its interface.
To manage the IntraCore 8000 via in-band management, use the following
procedure.
1
Make sure the network to which the IntraCore 8000 is
connected is functioning.
2
Make sure the IntraCore 8000 is configured with valid IP
information. See “Configuring for Management” earlier
in this chapter.
3
Connect to the IntraCore 8000 via telnet, with a Web
browser, or with any SNMP-based network management
application.
Telnet
Use a network connection to any PC and enter the telnet command to
access the IntraCore 8000. The password prompt of the Local Management
Interface will appear. Go on to the “Local Management Interface” section in
Chapter 3.
K Note: Almost all management screens using a telnet con-
nection are identical to those of the out-of-band console
interface. On the Main Menu, however, there will be a q
option for closing the connection to the IntraCore 8000.
