SFTOS Command Reference for the S2410, Version 2.4.1.0 27
The SFTOS
software loaded in every S-Series switch has two purposes:
• Assist attached hardware in switching frames, based on Layer 2, 3, or 4 information
contained in the frames.
• Provide a complete device management portfolio to the network administrator.
Switch Management Options
SFTOS 2.4.1 on the S2410 provides the network administrator with a choice of management
methods:
• VT100 interface: You can access the SFTOS command line interface (CLI) through
either the console port on the switch or through a management IP address configured on
the dedicated Ethernet Management port and/or the management VLAN). This book
focuses on the syntax of the commands that you use in the CLI.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Force10 Networks provides Force10
Management System (FTMS), a graphical network management software product that
provides a global view of your complete Force10 network. FTMS includes Node
Manager, which not only provides GUI-based device management, it also includes the
ability to execute CLI commands, either individually from Node Manager or by having
Node Manager open a Telnet window to the device.
• SFTOS Web User Interface (Web UI): See Chapter 4, Using the Web User Interface.
