Now you can configure the Switch by Telnet. The management interface is exactly 
the same with RS-232 console management. 

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the standard management protocol 
for multi-vendor IP networks. SNMP supports transaction-based queries that allow 
the protocol to format messages and to transmit information between reporting 
devices and data-collection programs. SNMP runs on top of the User Datagram 
Protocol (UDP), offering a connectionless-mode service. 

All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application 
Programming Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single MAPI, 
configuration parameters set using one method (console port, for example) are 
immediately displayable by the other management methods (for example, SNMP 
agent of Web browser). 
The management architecture of the switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This 
compliance assures customers that the Managed Switch is compatible with, and will 
interoperate with other solutions that adhere to the same open standard.
