3.1.2.3 Manage the Switch via SNMP Network Management Software
The necessities required by SNMP network management software to manage switches:
1) IP addresses are configured on the switch;
2) The IP address of the client host and that of the VLAN interface on the switch it subordinates to
should be in the same segment;
3) If 2) is not met, the client should be able to reach an IP address of the switch through devices like
routers;
4) SNMP should be enabled.
The host with SNMP network management software should be able to ping the IP address of the switch, so
that, when running, SNMP network management software will be able to find it and implement read/write
operation on it. Details about how to manage switches via SNMP network management software will not be
covered in this manual, please refer to “Snmp network management software user manual”.
3.2 CLI Interface
The switch provides thress management interface for users: CLI (Command Line Interface) interface, Web
interface, Snmp netword management software. We will introduce the CLI interface and Web configuration
interface in details, Web interface is familiar with CLI interface function and will not be covered, please refer to
“Snmp network management software user manual”.
CLI interface is familiar to most users. As aforementioned, out-of-band management and Telnet login are all
performed through CLI interface to manage the switch.
CLI Interface is supported by Shell program, which consists of a set of configuration commands. Those
commands are categorized according to their functions in switch configuration and management. Each
category represents a different configuration mode. The Shell for the switch is described below:
 Configuration Modes
 Configuration Syntax
 Shortcut keys
 Help function
 Input verification
 Fuzzy match support
