4.1.2 In-band Management
In-band management refers to the management by logging into the switch using Telnet. In-band
management enables the function of managing the switch for some devices attached to the switch. In
the case when in-band management fails due to switch configuration changes, out-of-band
management can be used for configuring and managing the switch.
4.1.2.1 Management via Telnet
To manage the switch with Telnet, the following conditions should be met
1) Switch has an IP address configured;
2) The host IP address (Telnet client) and the switch’s VLAN interface IP address is in the same
network segment.
3) If not 2), Telnet client can connect to an IP address of the switch via other devices, such as a
router.
SS2R24/48G4i switch are Layer 2 switch that can be configured with several IP addresses. The
following example assumes the shipment status of the switch, where only VLAN1 exists in the system.
The following describes the steps for a Telnet client to connect to the switch’s VLAN1 interface by
Telnet.

Step 1 Configure the IP addresses for the switch
First is the configuration of host IP address, which should be within the same network segment as
the switch VLAN1 interface IP address. Suppose the switch VLAN interface IP address
10.1.128.251/24, then a possible host IP address is 10.1.128.25/24. Run “ping 10.1.128.251” from the
host and verify the result, check for reasons if ping fails.
