Easy to use built-in management interfaces for configuration of your
hub or stack locally or over the network:
A Command Line Interface for quick configuration of IP
information for the hub.
A web interface for comprehensive management of the hub
using any suitable web browser.
Additional management software (supplied on the CD-ROM),

Support for traps (messages) which can alert an SNMP network

efficient. It also analyses inter-segment traffic and moves frequently
communicating ports to the same segment.
