Management tools
You can use three management tools to monitor and manage your BayStack
380-24F Gigabit Switch:
•Device Manager software page 17
•Web-based management interface (page 18)
•Console port interface (Refer to Using the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch.)
Device Manager software
The Device Manager software for the BayStack 380-24F switches is a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to manage a switch. Device Manager provides the options found in other management tools, as well as the ability to manage VLANs and MultiLink Trunks. You can display or print statistics and other data in one of three graph formats. To use Device Manager, you must have network connectivity to a management station running Device Manager on one of the supported platforms, and you must also assign an IP address to the switch.
