I was wondering what would be best practice, or the preferred method to remotely manage a layer 2 switch from a separate network. I'm a network novice. I understand basic concepts, but what I lack is the experience.
The network I'm trying to reach uses a switch that gets addresses from the firewall, which is also serving as the DHCP. The switch is connected to the LAN interface of the firewall by trunk port.

The simplest way probably is to create an interface (SVI) on the switch and give it an IP in the same subnet as the LAN side and excluded that IP from the DHCP server.
Config t
interface vlan x
ip address x.x.x.x
no sh

So, once you assign an IP to the switch (as noted above), you can simply use Telnet or SSH (if your IOS support SSH) to access the switch. As for as a terminal emulator, you can use Putty, which is free or Secure Crt but that cost $$ for license.
BTW, good questions and no questions is dumb.

Late Entry :
You can make use of SVI on the switch, command as below :
interface vlan <vlan number>
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
no shutdown
make sure to use same vlan as the native vlan or if you are specific vlan use that vlan number.
