1.6.1 Console Interface
Users can access the switch in a more traditional way by connecting a PC or terminal to the console port or
by telnet across the network. The menus are organized in a manner similar to the web-based interface. A
detailed description can be found in Chapter 3 Configuration.
1.6.2 Web-Based Interface
With Internet access, users can link directly to the local switch’s home page. Users can configure the switch,
monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically. A detailed description can be found in Chapter 5
Web-Based Management.
1.6.3 SNMP Management
Because the switch supports SNMP, users can manage the switch with an SNMP-compatible management
station running platforms such as HP OpenView. It also supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions,
along with MIB II, Ethernet MIB, the 802.1D bridge MIB, and 4 groups of RMON. Please see Chapter 3
Configuration, or Chapter 6 SNMP Management for more information.
