Chapter 1 Product Overview

Management Options

Using the Command-Line Interface

The switch module CLI is based on Cisco IOS software and enhanced to support desktop-switching
features. You can fully configure and monitor the switch module from the CLI. You can access the CLI
either by connecting your management station directly to the switch module console port or by using
Telnet from a remote management station. Refer to the switch module command reference on Cisco.com
for more information.

For quick setup instructions that use the CLI, go to

Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the

CLI-Based Setup Program.”

Using the Onboard Administrator CLI and GUI

See the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation guide at

http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation

for information on how to use the Onboard

Administrator CLI and GUI.

Other Management Options

You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management Solution
(SNMS) to configure and manage the switch module. You also can manage it from an SNMP-compatible
workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager.

Network Configurations

Refer to the switch module software configuration guide on Cisco.com for an explanation of network
configuration concepts. The software configuration guide also provides examples of network
configurations that use the switch module to create dedicated network segments that are interconnected
through Gigabit Ethernet connections.
