GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches

Understanding the User Interfaces

The GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS switches software includes a set of
comprehensive management functions for configuring and monitoring the system by using
one of the following methods:
• Web user interface
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the
components of the GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS switches software.
The method you use to manage the system depends on your network size and requirements,
and on your preference.
The GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Smart Switch Software
Administration Manual describes how to use the Web-based interface to manage and
monitor the system.
