through Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Cisco IOS CLI
You can configure and monitor the switch and switch cluster members from the CLI. Access the CLI
by connecting your management station to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a remote
management station. See the switch command reference on Cisco.com for information.
CiscoWorks application
The CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) is a suite of management tools that simplify the
configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Cisco networks. See the LMS
documentation for information:

CiscoView application
The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image that you can use to view
switch status and performance information and set configuration parameters. The CiscoView
application, which you purchase separately, can be a standalone application or part of a Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) platform. For information, see the CiscoView
documentation at this URL:

Cisco Configuration Engine
The Cisco Configuration Engine is network management software that automates initial
configurations and configuration updates. It generates device-specific configuration changes, sends
them to the device, executes the configuration change, and logs the results. For information about
Cisco Configuration Engine, see the software configuration guide on Cisco.com.
SNMP network management
You can manage switches from a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-compatible
management station that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch
supports a comprehensive set of Management Information Base (MIB) extensions and four Remote
Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com and the
documentation that came with your SNMP application for information.
Cisco Security Manager
Cisco Security Manager (Security Manager) manages security policies on Cisco security devices.
Security Manager supports integrated provisioning of firewall, IPS, and VPN (site-to-site, remote
access, and SSL) services across devices. For information, see the
Manager 3.2.2.
