module by selecting this mode as an option through the management module configuration utility
program (see the applicable Installation and User’s Guide publications on the Resource CD for more
information).
Switch module management and control
This document describes the user interfaces, screens, parameters and other information that you need
for remote management and control of your IXM5414E switch module. Complete the following initial
configuration steps:
1. Connect the Ethernet port of the management module to a 10/100 Mbps network (with access to a
management station) or directly to a management station.
2. Initially configure the management module with the appropriate IP addresses for network access
(see the applicable SB-HE Installation and User’s Guide publications on the Resource CD for more
information).
3. An IP address is assigned to the switch module automatically through a DHCP server.
Once a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) communication path has been
established with the switch module through the Management Module’s Ethernet port, you can perform
a series of management and control tasks. These tasks are in the following categories:
• Configuration
• Modification of the switch module’s parameter settings
• Remote management setup
• Network monitoring
— Automatically receive error alerts (traps)
— View/reset port traffic statistics
— Monitor data traffic on selected output ports
• Maintenance
— Update the switch module’s software
— View and configure the message and event logs
— Restore factory default settings
The switch module supports three primary management and control user interfaces. A built-in Web
browser interface is the primary interface (see Chapter 43 for detailed information). The Web browser
interface can be invoked from the management and configuration utility program, along with the Telnet
interface that provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) (see Chapter 153 for detailed information).
Both interfaces provide access to the same switch information and control parameters.
In addition, you can access an extensive set of both standard and private MIB objects through SNMP
protocols.
IP addresses and SNMP community names
Each switch module must be assigned its own Internet protocol (IP) address, which is used for
communication with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network manager or other
transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) application. The switch module default IP
address is 10.90.90.9x, where x depends on the number of the I/O module bay into which you have
installed the switch module, as shown in Table 1 on page 23.
