Setting up the Intel
NetStructure
and 470F Switches

Overview

This guide provides information on configuring and managing the Intel
NetStructure 470T and 470F Switches; it is organized into five chapters:
• Chapter 1 - Identifying and connecting the switch hardware.
• Chapter 2 - Using the switch in a LAN and advanced features such as
link aggregation and VLANs
• Chapter 3 - Using Intel Device View
• Chapter 4 - Using Web Device Manager
• Chapter 5 - Using Local Management

Management

Through the switch's built-in management you can configure the device and
monitor network health. There are several methods for managing this
switch; you can use one method or any combination.
• SNMP management applications like Intel Device View, LANDesk®
Network Manager, or HP OpenView* are tailored for Intel products and
show a graphical representation of the device.
• Onboard management allows control over the device without using an
SNMP application. The Web Device Manager provides a graphical
interface while Local Management is a menu-driven interface.
• Other SNMP-compliant applications can manage the 470 switches if
you compile the switch's MIB files into that application.
