Section 3 Switch Management
Introduction
The Switch supports management through:
• the Windows NT™ or Windows 95™-based GigWorks MKII Switch
Utilities,
• a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server, and
• a built-in SNMP Agent.
• Optionally, the GigWorks MKII Switch Web-Based Management Interface
application is also available. This management interface is a Web-based (Java)
application.
The Switch Utilities require an Ethernet connection to each managed chassis. The Web-
based Switch management application can manage multiple fabrics and can
manage multi-chassis fabrics through an Ethernet connection to any one chassis
in the fabric. Contact your Ancor sales representative or sales engineer for
information about the Web-based Switch management application.
