Connecting the Switch to the Network

For detailed instructions on how to connect the EdgeSwitch to your network, refer to the Quick Start Guide
that came with the switch.

Understanding the User Interfaces

The EdgeSwitch software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for configuring and
monitoring the system using the following methods:
• EdgeSwitch User Interface (UI)
• Command-Line Interface (CLI)
Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the components
of the EdgeSwitch UI. The method you use to manage the system depends on your network size and
requirements, and on your preference.
This guide describes how to use the EdgeSwitch UI to manage and monitor the system. For information
about how to manage and monitor the system by using the CLI, see the EdgeSwitch CLI Command Reference.
