Managing the Switch through the CLI

After initially setting up and installing the switch in your network, you can enter Cisco IOS commands
and parameters through the CLI. Access the CLI either by connecting your PC directly to the switch
console port or through a Telnet session from a remote PC or workstation.

Other Management Options

You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management
Solution (SNMS) and HP OpenView to configure and manage the switch. You also can manage it
from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or
SunNet Manager.
The Cisco IE2100 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management device that works with
embedded CNS agents in the switch software. You can use IE2100 to automate initial configurations
and configuration updates on the switch.
See the "Accessing Help Online" section on page 21 for a list of supporting documentation.

Rack-Mounting and Switch Port Connections

This section covers basic 19-inch rack-mounting and port connections. For alternate mounting
procedures, such as installing the switch in a 23-inch, 24-inch, or a European Telecommunication
Standards Institute (ETSI) rack, installing a switch on a wall, and for additional cabling information,
see the Cisco ME 3400 Ethernet Access Switch Hardware Installation Guide or the Cisco ME 2400
Ethernet Access Switch Hardware Installation Guide on Cisco.com. The Cisco ME 3400G-2CS switch
mounts only in 19-inch racks.

Equipment That You Supply

You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch. You must supply
alternative mounting hardware such as ETSI brackets or other hardware that does not ship with the
switch.
