Rear Panel Descriptions
The rear panel of the system contains the two Gigabit stacking ports and an AC power receptacle.
AC Power Receptacle
The switch automatically adjusts its power setting to any supply voltage in the range 90-240 volt AC.
Management
The following sections describe methods you can use to manage the switch.
Web-Based Interface
After you have successfully installed the switch, you can configure the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a web browser
like Netscape Navigator version 6.0 and higher or Microsoft IE version 4.01 and higher.
NOTE: To access to the switch via a web browser, the PC running the web browser must have IP- based network access to the switch.
Menu-Driven Console Interface via Serial Port or Telnet
You can also connect a computer or terminal to the serial console port or use Telnet to access the switch. The interface is menu-driven so you do not need to
use a complex command syntax. The menus are similar to those in the web interface. For more information, see
SNMP-Based Management
You can manage the switch with an SNMP-compatible console application. The switch is compatible with SNMP version 1.0.
The SNMP agent decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to these requests with MIB objects stored in the database. For statistics and counters,
the SNMP agent updates the MIB objects every 5 seconds.
The switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions as the following list indicates:
MIB II
