The switch can operate with only one fan. For maximum efficiency, at least two of the four fans should be operational in a warm environment. A fan failure triggers an alarm. When a fan fails, replace the power supply immediately.

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.
