Chapter 1 BayStack 420 Switch

Using the BayStack 420 10/100/1000 Switch

The BayStack 420 Switch is shipped directly from the factory ready to operate in 
any 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX standard network. 

You must assign an IP address to the switch or stack, depending on the mode of 
operation. You can set both addresses by using the console port or BootP, which 
resides on the switch. You can manage the switch using:

•

Console interface

The console interface allows you to configure and manage the switch locally 
or remotely. Access the CI menus and screens locally through a console 
terminal attached to your BayStack 420 Switch, remotely through a dial-up 
modem connection, or in-band through a Telnet session.

For information about the console interface, see 

.

•

Web-based management

You can manage the network from the World Wide Web. Access the 
Web-based graphical user interface (GUI) through the Embedded Web Server 
(EWS), the HTML-based browser located on your network. The GUI allows 
you to configure, monitor, and maintain your network through Web browsers. 
You can also download software using the Web.

Management for the BayStack 420 10/100/1000 Switch
