Chapter 6: Managing the Switch

72

You can manage the AT-DC2552XS switch remotely through any of the 
Ethernet ports (1 through 64) or through or the NET MGMT (ETH0) 
Ethernet port on the rear panel of the switch. See Figure 2 on page 20 for 
the location of these ports.

A management session may be established through these ports over an 
Ethernet network. The requirements for remote management of the switch 
are listed here:



A terminal or computer with a VT100 or equivalent terminal 
emulator program with a connection to your Ethernet network.



A connection from the AT-DC2552XS L2 Data Center Switch to 
your Ethernet network. 



You can also manage the switch using the NET MGMT (ETH0) 
port which is an Ethernet port, but is out-of-band from normal 
Ethernet traffic. See the “NET MGMT Cable Installation,”  next on 
this page to connect to this port.

With remote management, you can choose to use the command line 
interface (CLI) or SNMP. The CLI gives you access to all of the features 
and parameters of the switch. 

If you want to use SNMP, you must initially start with the CLI SNMP 
configuration commands where you can customize the SNMP interface. 

See the AT-DC2552XS Management Software Command Line Interface 
User’s Guide for more information at alliedtelesis.com/support/
documentation.

The NET MGMT port is a 10/100/1000BASE-T, RJ-45 port located on the 
rear panel of the switch. See Figure 2 on page 20 for this port’s location. 
Perform the following procedure to install the cable in the NET MGMT 
port.

1. Select a twisted pair cable from Table 1 on page 22 to connect to the 

NET MGMT port.

2. Place the locking tab on the bottom and insert the twisted-pair cable 

into the NET MGMT port. See Figure 38 on page 73. The connector 
should click into place when it is fully seated.
