Traps

Traps are messages that alert network personnel of events that occur on the switch. The events can be as serious as a

reboot (someone accidentally turned OFF the switch), or less serious like a port status change. The switch generates

traps and sends them to the trap recipient (or network manager). Typical traps include trap messages for

Authentication Failure, Topology Change and Broadcast/Multicast Storm.

The Management Information Base (MIB) stores management and counter information. The switch uses the standard

MIB-II Management Information Base module. Consequently, values for MIB objects can be retrieved from any SNMP-

based network management software. In addition to the standard MIB-II, the Switch also supports its own proprietary

enterprise MIB as an extended Management Information Base. The proprietary MIB may also be retrieved by

specifying the MIB Object Identifier. MIB values can be either read-only or read-write.

All software functions of the switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded Web-based (HTML)

interface. This can be done from any remote station on the network through a standard web browser, such as Internet

Explorer (version 5.5 and later), Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and later), Safari (version 4.0 and later), or Google Chrome

(version 6.0 and later). The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the switch using

the HTTP protocol.

All the software features that can be configured using the Command Line Interface can also be configured using the

Web User Interface. The Web User Interface is thus an alternative configuration method for the lesser analytical users.

To access the Web User Interface the user simply runs the standard web browser and enter the Switch's IP address

into the address bar of the browser and press the 'Enter' key.
