Management

Through the switch’s built-in management you can configure the device and monitor network health. You can use any combination of the following methods to manage the switch.

•SNMP management applications like Intel Device View, LANDesk® Network Manager, HP OpenView*, and IBM Tivoli NetView* are tailored for Intel products and show a graphical representation of the device.

•Onboard management allows control over the switch 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 the switches if you

compile the switch’s MIB files into that application. 1
