Selecting a Management Interface
This chapter describes the following:
■ Management interfaces for the SMC6624M switch
■ Advantages of using each interface
Understanding Management Interfaces
Management interfaces enable you to reconfigure the switch and to monitor
switch status and performance. The SMC6624M switch offers the following
interfaces:
■ Menu interface—a menu-driven interface offering a subset of switch
commands through the built-in VT-100/ANSI console—page 1-2
■ CLI—a command line interface offering the full set of switch commands
through the VT-100/ANSI console built into the switch—page 1-3
■ Web browser interface --a switch interface offering status information
and a subset of switch commands through a standard web browser (such
as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer)—page 1-4
This manual describes how to use the menu interface (chapter 2), the CLI
(chapter 3), the web browser interface (chapter 4), and how to use these
interfaces to configure and monitor the switch.
