software
Each switch fabric module and LAN interface module has a built-in
management interface called the Administration Console. It is a
menu-driven CLI that provides module-specific menus and parameters.
(i.e., the menus are different between Layer 2 Switching Modules and
Multilayer Switching Modules). You use this interface to configure all
parameters for a particular module and to display module statistics and
summary configurations.
To access the Administration Console on a particular switching module in
the chassis, you must first log in to the Management Module and then
connect to the module slot. You can view the Administration Console
from a terminal, a PC, a Macintosh, or a UNIX workstation.
For more information about the features and options in the
Administration Console, see the chapters in Part II of this guide. For
information on specific commands, see the Switch 4007 Command
Reference Guide.
A suite of HTML-based applications are shipped with your Switch 4007
chassis package. The suite consists of embedded Web Management
software applications as well as other tools that you can install:
Embedded Web Management applications — Use the embedded
Web Management applications for most of your device configuration
and management tasks. You can manage a single port or device, or,
using multiple windows, you can manage multiple devices. This
software, which is part of the system software image, contains:
WebConsole — An HTML-based set of configuration forms.
DeviceView — A Java-based application that displays a real-time
image of the device. You can manage each port, module, or
system by clicking the part of the image that you want to manage.
Performance features — Dynamic monitoring through graphing
of QoS statistics and Ethernet interfaces.
Help — Access to the configuration form on which you set up the
installable Help files as well as access to links to support
information on the 3Com Web site.
