1.1.1.2 In-band Management

In-band management refers to the management by login to the switch using Telnet, or

using HTTP, or using SNMP management software to configure the switch. In-band

management enables management of 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.

1.1.1.2.1 Management via Telnet

To manage the switch with Telnet, the following conditions should be met:

1) Switch has an IPv4/IPv6 address configured;

2) The host IP address (Telnet client) and the switch’s VLAN interface IPv4/IPv6

address is in the same network segment;

3) If 2) is not met, Telnet client can connect to an IPv4/IPv6 address of the switch via

other devices, such as a router.

The switch is a Layer 3 switch that can be configured with several IPv4/IPv6

addresses, the configuration method refers to the relative chapter. The following example

assumes the shipment status of the switch where only VLAN1 exists in the system.
