OVERVIEW

Once your system is initially configured (and thus assigned an IP address), you may use a variety

of methods to remotely access and manage your system. This chapter describes many of these

methods.

For information on first-time access (either local or remote), refer to Accessing the CyberSWITCH.

The CyberSWITCH has various tools to manage the system remotely. You may combine several of

these tools to provide a complete, customized remote network management system. In this chapter

we will describe the tools, and explain several options to manage your system.

These tools are:

• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

•Telnet

• TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)

This chapter also describes a method of remotely configuring an CyberSWITCH through another

CyberSWITCH, using the default configuration and a preconfigured USER2.
