What is
Management
Software?
Your Switch can operate in its default state. However, to make full use of
the features offered by the Switch, and to change and monitor the way it
works, you have to access the management software that resides on the
Switch. This is known as managing the Switch.
Managing the Switch can help you to improve its efficiency and therefore
the overall performance of your network.
There are several different methods of accessing the management
software to manage the Switch. These methods are explained in
Chapter 3 of the Getting Started Guide that accompanies your Switch.
Switch Features
Explained
The management software provides you with the capability to change the
default state of some of the Switch features. This section provides a brief
overview of these features — their applications are explained in more
detail later in this guide.
For a list of the features supported by your Switch, please refer to the
Management Quick Reference Guide that accompanies your Switch.
