Initial Configuration
An Application Switch is ready to perform basic switching functions without prior configuration.
The extensive switch software—the Nortel Application Switch Operating System—included in the
switch provides a variety of options for accessing and configuring the switch. Some of the more
advanced features however require some administrative configuration before they can be used
effectively. Refer to the switch software manuals mentioned in
page 8
and that were shipped in the software kit of this product.
The software provides the following:
•
A built-in, text-based command line interface (CLI) and menu system for switch configuration
and management through a local terminal or remote Telnet session.
•
SNMP support for access through network management software such as HP OpenView*.
•
A Browser-Based Interface (BBI) that is accessible through a web browser after enabling http
access using the IP address of the switch.
•
A GUI application, the Application Switch Element Manager (ASEM), for interactive network
access.
