Configuring Network Management

 

To access the CLI initially, you need a direct connection to the switch from a 
terminal or PC. After Telnet access is enabled, you can access the CLI from a 
Telnet session on the network.

The CLI consists of two sets of commands that are accessed in different ways. 
While the switch is booting, you can interrupt the boot process and display the 
Boot Monitor CLI, which contains commands used to configure boot options and 
to manage files in flash memory. When the switch completes its boot sequence, 
the login screen for the Run-Time CLI is displayed. The Run-Time CLI contains 
commands to configure switch operations and management access.

For information about connecting a console terminal, see Getting Started. For 
information about the Boot Monitor and Run-Time CLIs, see Managing Platform 
Operations and Using Diagnostic Tools.

Device Manager is an SNMP-based graphical user interface (GUI) tool designed 
to manage single devices. To use Device Manager, you must have network 
connectivity to a management station running Device Manager in one of the 
supported environments.

The Web management interface is a Web-based GUI tool that operates in 
conjunction with a Web browser. It is designed to monitor a single device and is 
intended for use as a tool to access and monitor devices on your network from 
various locations within the network. To configure the switch, use the CLI or 
Device Manager. 

To access the Web interface, you need a Web browser and an IP address for the 
switch. For more information about the Web interface, see Chapter 2.
