4 – Managing Switches
Configuring a Switch
Telnet (Command line interface) — allows users to manage the switch
through a Telnet command line interface session. Disabling Telnet access to
the switch is not recommended.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) — allows management of
the switch through third-party applications that use SNMP.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) — allows the switch to obtain its time and date
settings from an NTP server. Configuring all of your switches and your
workstations to utilize NTP will keep their date/time settings in sync and will
prevent difficulties with SSL certificates and event logs.
CIM (Common Information Model) — allows management of the switch
through third-party applications that use CIM.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) — allows file transfers to the switch via FTP.
FTP is required for out-of-band firmware uploads which will complete faster
than in-band Firmware uploads.
Management Server — allows management of the switch through third-party
applications that use GS-3 Management Server.
Call Home — allows users to configure their switches to send alerts and
events to pagers, and Email. Users can configure the type of events and
where the alerts are sent.
