30 CHAPTER 1: ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW
You use the Administration Console software to configure your system
parameters (or, on the CoreBuilder 9000, to configure your mod ule
parameters) and display statistics and counters.
For more complete network management , you can use an external
application, such as 3Com’s Transcend® Network Control Services tool
suite.
On the CoreBuilder 3500, CoreBuilder 9000 , and CoreBuilder 9400, and
on the SuperStack®II Switch 3900 and Switch 930 0, you can also
configure parameters and view statistics using the Web Management
suite of HTML-based applications. See the Web Management User Guide
for your system fo r additional informat ion.
CoreBuilder 9000 System Management Overview
The CoreBuilder 9000 comes in a 7-slot, 8-slot, or 1 6-slot chassis in which
you install switch fabric modules and interface mo dules. Before you begin
to manage your CoreBuilder9000 system, review the
management-related information in this section.
The CoreBuilder 9000 system supports the following mana gement
interfaces:
■EME Management Console
Use the EME Management Console to manage EME and Enterprise
Management Controller (EMC) functions, such as log in table
management, IP connectivity, event and trap logs, and software
downloads to all modules. The EME Management Console also
manages chassis functions, such as system inventory and power
management features.
■Administration Console
Use the Administration Console to manage the CoreBuilder 9000
switch fabric modules and intelligent interface modules. These
modules contain an on-board network management agent that allows
this direct management.
■ATM Local Management Application (LMA)
Use the ATM LMA to manage the ATM Enterprise Switch, ATM Switch
Fabric Module, and ATM interface modules. These modules contain an
on-board network management agent to allow t his direct
management.
