• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported)
web browser. See
• TFTP. Use Trivial File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup or restore. See
Section 33.1 on page
• SNMP. The device can be configured by a SNMP manager. See
• ZON Utility. ZON Utility is a program designed to help you deploy and perform initial setup on a
network more efficiently. See
1.4 G o o d Ha b its fo r Ma na g ing the Switc h
Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more
effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your
last configuration.
