By default, the switch detects whether an RJ-45 connector or SFP module is connected to a dual-purpose

command. For more information, see the command reference.

Start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual switches. The device
manager is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. You can
access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. For more
information, see the device manager online help.
Start the Network Assistant application, which is described in the Getting Started with Cisco
Network Assistant guide. Through this GUI, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an
individual switch.
Use the CLI from the console to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual
switch. See the Catalyst 2960 Switch Software Configuration Guide and the Catalyst 2960 Switch
Command Reference on Cisco.com for information on using the CLI with a Catalyst 2960 switch.
Start an SNMP application such as the CiscoView application.
