Chapter 1 Product Overview

Management Options

Management Options

• Cisco IOS CLI

You can fully configure and monitor the switch from the CLI. You can access the CLI either by

connecting your management station directly to the switch console port or by using Telnet from a

remote management station. See the switch command reference on Cisco.com for more information.

For setup instructions that use the CLI, go to Appendix C, “Configuring the Switch with the

CLI-Based Setup Program.”

• CiscoView application

The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image so that you can set

configuration parameters and view switch status and performance information. The CiscoView

application, which you purchase separately, can be a standalone application or part of a Simple

Network Management Protocol (SNMP) platform. See the CiscoView documentation for more

information.

• SNMP network management

You can manage switches from a SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms

such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of Management

Information Base (MIB) extensions and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the switch

software configuration guide on Cisco.com and the documentation that came with your SNMP

application for more information.

Network Configurations

See the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com for an explanation of network configuration

concepts. The software configuration guide also provides examples of network configurations that use

the switch to create dedicated network segments that are interconnected through Ethernet connections.
