Device manager
You can use the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and
standalone switches. The device manager is accessible after you have run the Express Setup program
(see the getting started guide for more information about running Express Setup). Use the device
manager to perform basic switch configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager
from anywhere in your network through a web browser.

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

SmartPort Macros
SmartPort macros provide a convenient way to save and share common switch configurations. You
can use SmartPort macros to enable features and settings based on the location of a switch in the
network and for mass configuration deployments across the network.

Cisco provides a collection of pretested, Cisco-recommended baseline SmartPort macros for
Catalyst switches. You can use the macros to build and deploy Cisco-recommended network designs
and configurations. For more information about SmartPort macros, see the software configuration
guide and the SmartPort information available on Cisco.com.

CiscoView application
The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image that you can use to set
configuration parameters and to view switch status and performance information. The CiscoView
application, which you purchase separately, can be a standalone application or part of an SNMP
platform. See the CiscoView documentation for more information.

SNMP network management
You can manage switches from a SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms
such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB
extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the software configuration guide on
Cisco.com and the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more information.

Cisco Intelligence Engine 2100 (IE2100)
Cisco IE200 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management device that works with
embedded Cisco Networking Services (CNS) agents in the switch software. You can automate initial
configurations and configuration updates by generating switch-specific configuration changes,
sending them to the switch, executing the configuration change, and logging the results.
