Chapter 3: Switch Management
28 GE-DS-242-PoE Managed Ethernet Switch User Manual
devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram
Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service.
Management Architecture
All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application
Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single MAPI,
configuration parameters set using one method (console port, for example) are
immediately displayable by the other management methods (for example, SNMP
agent of Web browser).
The management architecture of the switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This
compliance assures customers that the Managed Switch is compatible with, and will
interoperate with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.
