The initial set up of your switch is now complete and the switch is ready for you to
set up your chosen management method. See "Methods of Managing a Switch"
on page 29.
If you do not intend to use the command line interface using the console port to
manage the switch, you can logout, disconnect the serial cable and close the
terminal emulator software.
3Com has two management applications that will discover and help you manage
your network. 3Com Network Supervisor is freely distributed PC software ideal
for monitoring your network. It will discover your devices and connections, alert
you to network or configuration issues, assist you in registering your devices, and
proactively monitor the health of your network. 3Com Network Director is
chargeable PC software that adds advanced configuration and control to the
features available from 3Com Network Supervisor. Trial versions of both are
available from www.3com.com.
You can use 3Com Network Supervisor or 3Com Network Director applications to
discover the automatically allocated IP information.
1 Connect your switch to the network.
2 Launch 3Com Network Director or Network Supervisor and run the auto-discovery
wizard.
The application will auto-discover the new switch and display the IP information
that has been automatically allocated to the switch.
3 Power-up the switch and wait for two minutes.
Most DHCP and BootP servers allow static IP addresses to be configured so that
you know what IP address the switch will be given. Refer to the documentation
that accompanies your DHCP or BootP server.
If your network does not have a DHCP or BootP server, the workstation running
3Com Network Supervisor or 3Com Network Director must be on the same subnet
as the switch, because Auto-IP addresses are non-routable.
