Web Management
The SNMP-FSH2602MG supports in-band management through web browser. In this
session, you will learn how to access the switch’s powerful management functions through
the web browser. You will also learn how to manage the switch remotely through Internet.
Please note that the current firmware requires use of Internet Explorer for web
configuration. For operation system that does not support Internet Explorer, please go to
chapter 5 for management through Telnet.
In-Band and Out-of-Band Management
In-Band and Out-of-Band managements are the two distinct methods for switch
management.
In-Band management
that includes Web, Telnet, and SNMP allows users to configure the
switch through the Ethernet network. By connecting the switch through a router or directly
to Internet, user can even manage the switch remotely.
Out-of-Band management
means managing the switch outside of the switch’s Ethernet
network. Console Port management is the most common type of out-of-band management.
Out-of-Band management requires the switch to be physically attached to a computer
through a RS-232, USB, or Parallel port. It has the distinct security advantage and it can
serve as a backup when In-Band management function fails. For console port
management, please see chapter 5 for more details.

The Concept of Subnet
Under the TCP/IP environment, network devices must be on the same subnet in order to
see each other. This means before you can configure the switch through web browser,
your must set your computer to the same subnet as the switch. For two network devices to
be on the same subnet, they must have the following 2 criteria
:
Their IP address must be on the same subnet . For example, if one IP
address is 192.168.0.1. The other’s IP address must be 192.168.0.x (x is any
number between 2 and 254) for Class C subnet. To find out the IP address
information for your computer. Under WinNT/2000/XP, please open
Command Line window and type “ipconfig”. Under Win9x, please run
“winipcfg”.
They must have the same subnet mask. For example, if one machine is
255.255.255.0. The other machine must also set to the same 255.255.255.0
mask.
