Network Configurations - Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Hardware Manual

Device Manager

You can use Device Manager in the switch memory to manage individual and standalone
switches. This web interface provides configuration and monitoring from anywhere in your
network. For information, see the switch getting started guide and the Device Manager
online help.
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.
Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Cisco Prime Infrastructure combines the wireless functionality of Cisco Prime Network
Control System (NCS) and the wired functionality of Cisco Prime LAN Management
Solution (LMS), with application performance monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities
of Cisco Prime Assurance Manager. For more information, see the Cisco Prime
Infrastructure documentation on Cisco.com.
Catalyst Smart Operations

The Smart Install feature provides a single point of management (director) in a network.
You can use it to provide a zero touch image and configuration upgrade of newly deployed
switches and image and configuration downloads for any client switches. For information,
see the Cisco Smart Install Configuration Guide on Cisco.com.
Auto Smartports macros dynamically configure ports based on the device type detected on
the port. When the switch detects a new device, it applies the appropriate Auto Smartports
macro on the port. For information about configuring Auto Smartports, see the switch
software configuration guide on Cisco.com.

Network Configurations

See the switch software configuration guide on
