Overview
This guide provides information on configuring and managing the Intel ®
NetStructure™ 470T and 470F Switches. It is organized into five chapters:
• Chapter 1 - Identifying and connecting the switch hardware

aggregation and VLANs
• Chapter 3 - Using Intel Device View
• Chapter 4 - Using Web Device Manager

Management
Through the switch’s built-in management you can configure the device and
monitor network health. You can use any combination of the following
methods to manage the switch.
• SNMP management applications like Intel Device View, LANDesk ®
Network Manager, HP OpenView*, and IBM Tivoli NetView* are
tailored for Intel products and show a graphical representation of the
device.
• Onboard management allows control over the switch 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 the switches if you
compile the switch’s MIB files into that application.
