Hardened Managed Ethernet Switch

User’s Manual 23

VIRTUAL TERMINAL PROTOCOLS, SUCH AS TELNET

A virtual terminal protocol is a software program, such as Telnet, that allows

you to establish a management session from a Macintosh, a PC, or a UNIX

workstation. Because Telnet runs over TCP/IP, you must have at least one IP

address configured on the switch before you can establish access to it with a

virtual terminal protocol.

<Note> Terminal emulation is different from a virtual terminal protocol in that you

must connect a terminal directly to the console port.

SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (SNMP)

SNMP is the standard management protocol for multivendor IP networks.

SNMP supports transaction-based queries that allow the protocol to format

messages and to transmit information between reporting devices and

data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram Protocol

(UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service.

Management Architecture

All of the management application modules use the same

Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI). By

unifying management methods with a single MAPI,

configuration parameters set using one method (e.g. console

port) are immediately displayed the other management

methods (e.g. SNMP agent of web browser).

The management architecture of the switch adheres to the

IEEE open standard. This compliance assures customers that

the switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other

solutions that adhere to the same open standard.
