More comprehensive set of features and parameters to work with
than the web browser interface
Out-of-band access (through direct cable connection) to switch, so
network bottlenecks, crashes, and network downtime do not slow or
prevent access
Telnet access to the full console functionality
Ability to configure management access, for example, creating an IP
address, and setting Community Names and Authorized Managers
Rebooting the switch through either direct or Telnet access
Faster navigation, avoiding delays for slower display of graphical
objects over a browser interface
