Web Management

The switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the switch
interface applications directly in your web browser by entering the IP address of the
switch. You can then use your web browser to list and manage switch configuration
console port.

SNMP-Based Network Management

You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the switch. This
management method requires the SNMP agent on the switch and the SNMP Network
Management Station to use the same community string. This management method, in
fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string.
If the SNMP Network management station only knows the set community string, it can
read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only
read MIBs. The default get and set community strings for the switch are public.

Management Architecture

All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application
Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single MAPI,
configuration parameters set using one method (e.g. console port) are immediately
displayed the other management methods (e.g. SNMP agent of web browser).
The management architecture of the switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This
compliance assures customers that the switch is compatible with, and will interoperate
with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.
