Management Options
The Switch provides multiple access platforms that can be used to configure, manage, and monitor networking
features available on this Switch. Currently there are three management platforms available, which are described
below.
Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Switch can be managed, out-of-band, by using the console port on the front panel of the Switch. Alternatively, the
Switch can also be managed, in-band, by using a Telnet connection to any of the LAN ports on the Switch.
Refer to the DGS-1250 Series CLI Reference Guide for more detailed information about the CLI.
SNMP-based Management
The Switch can be managed with an SNMP-compatible Network Management System (NMS). The Switch supports
SNMP v1/v2c/v3. The SNMP agent on the Switch decodes the incoming SNMP messages and responds to requests
with MIB objects stored in the database. The SNMP agent on the Switch updates the MIB objects to generate
statistics and counters.
Web User Interface (Web UI)
The Web UI can be accessed from any computer running web browsing software connected to any of the RJ45 or
SFP/SFP+ ports. The Web UI on the Switch can also be accessed using an HTTPS (SSL) connection.
The Web UI is a graphical representation of the features that can be viewed and configured on the Switch. Most of the
features available through the CLI can be accessed through the Web UI. Web browsers like Microsoft Internet
Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari can be used.
