SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the
Managed Switch, such as SNMPc Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node
Management (NNM) or What'sup Gold. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same
community string. This management method, in fact, uses two community strings:
the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Net-work
management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to
the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can only read MIBs.
The default gets and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.

Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user
interface for performing system administration such as displaying statistics or
changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration console
from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to
the switch's console (serial) port.
There are two ways to use this management method: via direct access or modem
port access. The following sections describe these methods. For more information
about using the console, refer to Chapter 5: Console Management.
