Understanding the User Interfaces

The GS748T Smart Switch 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 GS748T Smart Switch software. The method you use to manage the
system depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.
The GS748T Smart Switch Software Administration Manual describes how to use the
Web-based interface to manage and monitor the system.
