2. Switch ManagementTo set up the Managed Switch, the user needs to configure the Managed Switchfornetworkmanagement.TheManagedSwitchprovidestwomanagementoptions:Out-of-Band ManagementandIn-Band Management.

Out-of-Band ManagementOut-of-band management is the management through Console interface.Generally, the user will use out-of-band management for the initial switch configuration,orwhenin-bandmanagementisnotavailable.

In-Band ManagementIn-band management refers to the management by logging in to the ManagedSwitchusingTelnetorHTTP,orusingSNMPmanagementsoftwaretoconfiguretheManaged Switch. In-bandmanagement enables themanagement of theManagedSwitchtoattachsomedevicestotheSwitch.Thefollowingproceduresarerequiredtoenablein-bandmanagement:

1. Logon to console

2.Assign/ConfigureIPaddress

3. Create a remote login account

4.EnableHTTPorTelnetserverontheManagedSwitch

In case in-bandmanagement fails due to Managed Switch configuration changes,out-of-bandmanagement canbeused for configuringandmanaging theManagedSwitch.

7.Setting1000BASE-XforSFP+PortThe Managed Switch supports both 10GBASE-X SFP+ transceiver and1000BASE-X SFP transceiver by manual setting and the default SFP+ portspeed is set to 10Gbps. To establish the fiber connection with 1000BASE-X SFPtransceiver,thefollowingcommandconfigurationisrequired:

XGS3-24042#configXGS3-24042(config)#interface ethernet 1/0/25-28XGS3-24042(config-if-port-range)#speed-duplex force1g-full
