	across multiple switches and ports simultaneously.
	• The user-personalized interface allows modification of polling intervals, table views, and other settings.
	• • Alarm notification provides automated e-mail notification of network errors and alarm thresholds.
Cisco Express Setup	• Express Setup simplifies initial configuration of a switch through a Web browser, eliminating the need for
	terminal emulation programs and CLI knowledge.
	• The Web interface helps less-skilled personnel quickly and simply set up switches, thereby reducing the cost of
	deployment.
CiscoWorks Support	• CiscoWorks network-management software provides management capabilities on a per-port and per-switch
	basis, providing a common management interface for Cisco routers, switches, and hubs.
	• SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI-
	based management console provides detailed out-of-band management.
