Chapter 1 Product Overview
Management Options
• Device manager
You can use the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and
standalone switches. This web interface offers quick configuration and monitoring from anywhere
in your network through a web browser. For more information, see the switch getting started guide
and the device manager online help.
• Cisco IOS CLI
You can fully configure and monitor the switch and switch cluster members from the CLI. You can
access the CLI by connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by
using Telnet from a remote management station. See the switch command reference on Cisco.com
for more information.
• CiscoWorks application
The CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) is a suite of management tools that simplify the
configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Cisco networks. See the LMS
documentation for more information.
• SNMP network management
You can manage switches from a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)-compatible
management station that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch
supports a comprehensive set of Management Information Base (MIB) extensions and four Remote
Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com and the
documentation that came with your SNMP application for more information.
Network Configurations
See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com for network configuration concepts and
examples of using the switch to create dedicated network segments and interconnecting the segments
through Gigabit Ethernet connections.
