Methods of Management
There are many ways you can connect your management station to
the stack, as shown in
Figure 4
. You can manage the stack:
■
Through the console port (known as out-of-band management):
■
Using a Web browser
■
Using a terminal emulator
■
Using a terminal
■
Over the network (known as in-band management):
■
Using a Web browser
■
Using a terminal emulator (over Telnet)
■
Using an SNMP network management application
If you are going to manage the stack over the network, the quickest
way to set it up with the necessary network information is to connect
to the console port on one of the units and use the command line
interface.
