About CoreBuilder 9400 System Management

To configure and manage your CoreBuilder 9400
system, you can use one of several applications after
you establish a connection:
CoreBuilder 9400 Administration Console
Other SNMP-based network management
applications
Web Management suite of applications
The Administration Console is a character-oriented,
menu-driven user interface for administering the
system. You can access the Administration Console
out-of-band, using either the 10BASE-TX port or the
Console port, or in-band, using one of the Gigabit
Ethernet ports through the IP network protocol. For
more detailed information, see the Command
Reference Guide.

ETUP FOR ANAGEMENT
For more complete network management, use an
external SNMP-based management application such
as 3Com's Transcend Enterprise Manager for UNIX or
Windows or another network management
application.
The Web Management suite of applications allows
you manage your system using a Web browser. It
consists of WebConsole (including Configuration
Wizards), DeviceView, Performance, and the
HTML-based Help system.
How Do You Want to Manage the System?
You can manage your system locally through a
terminal connection or through the network with an
IP connection. Table 6 describes the access
