About this guide

This guide provides information about system logging, displaying system
statistics, and configuring network monitoring on the Nortel Ethernet Switch
460 and Nortel Ethernet Switch 470.

Network management tools and interfaces

The following are the management tools and interfaces available with the
switch (for basic instructions on these tools, refer to the Nortel Ethernet
Switch 460/470 Overview — System Configuration (NN47210-501)
):

Console interface

The console interface (CI) allows you to configure and manage the
switch locally or remotely. Access the CI menu and screens locally
through a console terminal attached to your Ethernet Switch, remotely
through a dial-up modem connection, or in-band through a Telnet
session.

Web-based management

You can manage the network from the World Wide Web and can access
the Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) through the HTML-based
browser located on your network. The GUI allows you to configure,
monitor, and maintain your network through web browsers. You can also
download software using the web.

Java-based Device Manager

The Device Manager is a set of Java-based graphical network
management applications that is used to configure and manage
Ethernet Switches 460 and 470.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

The CLI is used to automate general management and configuration
of the Ethernet Switches 460 and 470. Use the CLI through a Telnet
connection or through the serial port on the console.

Any generic SNMP-based network management software
