Switch Features

System Management Features

Multiple Management Options

You can use any of the following methods to manage the switch:

• Use a Web browser to access the Dell OpenManage Switch Administrator

interface. The switch contains an embedded Web server that serves

HTML pages.

• Use a telnet client, SSH client, or a direct console connection to access the

CLI. The CLI syntax and semantics conform as much as possible to

common industry practice.

• Use a network management system (NMS) to manage and monitor the

system through SNMP. The switch supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3 over the

UDP/IP transport protocol.

Simple Mode

Users with a privilege level of 15 can configure the switch to operate in

normal mode or simple mode. By default, the switch operates in normal

mode. When the PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024/M8024-k switch is

operating in simple mode, a limited number of features are available to

configure. For features that are not available in simple mode, their

administrative Web pages and CLI commands are unavailable.

For information about enabling Simple mode, see "Managing General System

Settings" on page 275.

NOTE:

The PowerConnect M8024-k switch operates in Simple mode by default.

The PowerConnect M6220, M6348, and M8024 switches operate in normal mode by

default, and Simple mode is disabled.
