<Structure of this section>

(1) Serial connection port (CONSOLE)

Connect the console to the serial connection port (CONSOLE). Because you can log in through this port even if you have not set the configuration, you can log in from this port and perform initial settings during initial installation.

(2) Management port

You can log in to the Switch from a remote operation terminal or use SNMP Manager to manage the network through the management port. To log in to the Switch using a telnet,ssh,ftp or other means, you must configure IP addressing and remote access settings in the Switch configuration.

(3) Communication port

The same operation as the management port can be performed.
