Chapter 3 Switch Management

3.1 Management Options

After purchasing the switch, the user needs to configure the switch for network management. Switch provides

two management options: in-band management and out-of-band management.

3.1.1 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 managing the switch via Console interface are listed below:

Step 1: Setting up the environment:
