Management Options
Using the Command-Line Interface
The switch CLI) is based on Cisco IOS software and enhanced to support desktop-switching features.
You can fully configure and monitor the switch from the CLI. You can access the CLI either by
connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a remote
management station. Refer to the switch module command reference on Cisco.com for more
information.
For quick setup instructions that use the CLI, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the
CLI-Based Setup Program.”
Using SNMP
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks. You also can manage the switch
from an SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as SunNet Manager.
Network Configurations
Refer to the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com for an explanation of network
configuration concepts. The software configuration guide also provides examples of network
configurations that use the switch to create dedicated network segments that are interconnected through
Gigabit Ethernet connections.
