MANAGING THE SMARTSWITCH 6500

Your SmartSwitch 6500 must be IP reachable by the NMS before it can be managed. The default connection between 
the SmartSwitch 6500 and the NMS is the SmartSwitch 6500 Ethernet interface. Use the 

 

command to find the IP address of the SmartSwitch 6500. An NMS can use this IP address to reach the SmartSwitch 
6500 through Ethernet. An NMS can also manage the SmartSwitch 6500 through one of its ATM ports if the 
SmartSwitch 6500 has a client connection into a VLAN or emulated LAN.

Note that the SmartSwitch 6500 itself, is not reachable through ATM until a client for the switch is created and 
participates as a member of a VLAN or ELAN. Your NMS uses that switch client’s address to access and manage the 
switch. 

To create a client for the switch, use the 

 command for VLANs and 

 for emulated 

LANs. 

Use the 

 command to tell the SmartSwitch 6500 which interface to use when communicating with your 

NMS. For detailed information about these commands, see the SmartSwitch 6500 Reference Manual.
