Task 4: Management Connections
This section describes how to establish a management connection the Vess A2200/A2200s system. There
are two methods to establish the physical connection to the Vess used for management of the device. The
Vess A2200/A2200s can be managed through the network connection using WebPAM PROe (where PROe
'e'stands for embedded manner), a web browser based GUI. Alternatively you can use an out-of-band
connection using a VGA or HDMI monitor and USB keyboard to access the embedded text-based CLI/CLU
interface. Please see the Product Manual for a complete description of CLI/CLU.
Management Path - network connection
The Vess A2200/A2200s has four Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports on the rear panel for connection to an
Ethernet network. Use this connection with WebPAM PROe to login as the device administrator.
To establish the management path:
1.
Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the network connector or standard NIC in the Host PC.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard network switch.
2.
Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the ports on the standard net-work switch.
Attach the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Management Port on the Vess A2200/A2200s
system.
If you have multiple Vess A2200/A2200s systems, Host PCs or Servers, re-peat steps 1 and 2 as
required.
3.
Follow the instructions for managing the basic settings of the Vess A2200/A2200s.
