Chapter 4 Switch Management
4.1 Management Options
After purchasing the switch, the user needs to configure the switch for network management.
SS2R24/48G4i switch provides two management options in-band management and out-of-band
management.
4.1.1 Out-of-band Management
Out-of-band management is the management through Console interface. Generally, the user will
use out-of-band management for the initial switch configuration, or when in-band management is not
available. For instance, the user must assign an IP address to the switch via the Console interface to be
able to access the switch through Telnet.
The procedures for management via Console interface are listed below
