Management

Through the switch’s built-in management you can configure the device and monitor network health. There are several methods for managing this switch; you can use one method or any combination.

SNMP management applications like Intel Device View, LANDesk® Network Manager, or Hewlett Packard OpenView* are tailored for Intel products and show a graphical representation of the device (with the use of the proper MIB).

Onboard management allows control over the device without using an SNMP application. The Web Device Manager provides a graphical interface while Local Management is a menu-driven interface.

Other SNMP-compliant applications can manage 460T switches if 1 you compile the switch’s MIB files into that application.
