The External Tools Feature

The management server ships with an external tools feature that lets you:

Browse the element - Access a host or a switch through its main Web page. The software assumes the host or switch has a Web page at http://hsIPaddress, where hsIPaddress is the IP address of the host or switch. To access the main Web page of the host or switch, right-click the element in System Manager and select External Tools > Browse to 192.168.1.2, where 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the host or switch.

Telnet to the element - Access a host or a switch through the telnet utility. Telnet must be already enabled on the element. The command uses telnet://hsIPaddress, where hsIPaddress is the IP address of the host or switch. To telnet to a host or switch, right-click the element in System Manager and select External Tools > Telnet to 192.168.1.2, where 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the host or switch.
