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 43.
If you do not intend to use the command line interface via the console
port to manage the Switch, you can logout, disconnect the serial cable
and close the terminal emulator software.
Once you have completed the initial set up of your Switch, you can
decide how you wish to manage the Switch. You can use one of the
following methods:

Command line interface management

■
Web interface management
■
SNMP management

Each Switch has a command line interface (CLI) that allows you to
manage the Switch from a workstation, either locally via a console port
connection (see Figure 12), or remotely over the network (see Figure 13).
