50 CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT
Command Line
Interface
Management using
SSH
The Switch 4400 supports Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2), allowing secure
access to the Command Line Interface of the Switch.
If you use SSH to administer your Switch and the network traffic is
intercepted, no passwords or configuration information will be visible in
the data. To securely adminster the Switch using the Command Line
Interface you need a third party SSH client.
Web Interface
Management
Each Switch has an internal set of web pages that allow you to manage
the Switch using a Web browser remotely over an IP network (see
Figure 18).
Figure18 Web interface management over the network
Refer to “Setting Up Web Interface Management” on page 53.
SNMP Management You can manage a Switch using any network management workstation
running the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) as shown in
Figure 19. For example, you can use the 3Com Network Supervisor
software that is provided on the CD-ROM that accompanies your Switch.
