Management
Through the switch’s built-in management you can configure the device and
monitor network health. There are several methods for managing this
switch; you can use one method or any combination.
• SNMP management applications like Intel Device View, LANDesk ®
Network Manager, or Hewlett Packard OpenView* are tailored for Intel
products and show a graphical representation of the device (with the use
of the proper MIB).
• Onboard management allows control over the device without using an
SNMP application. The Web Device Manager provides a graphical
interface while Local Management is a menu-driven interface.
• Other SNMP-compliant applications can manage 460T switches if
you compile the switch’s MIB files into that application.
