Understanding the User Interfaces

The managed 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)
•
Command-line interface (CLI)
•
Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the
components of the managed switch software. The method you use to manage the system
depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.
The M6100, M5300, and M7100 Series Managed Switch User Manual (this book) describes
how to use the web-based interface to manage and monitor the system.
