The switch first checks for the file pcmboot.cfg, in Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). If not found, the switch checks for the file boot.cfg in flash.

ATTENTION

If you use the boot configuration file from PCMCIA, you must rename the file to pcmboot.cfg The boot.cfg file is no longer saved in PCMCIA. The file is saved only in flash.

Web management

The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 includes a Web management interface you can use to monitor your switch through a Web browser from anywhere on your network. The Web interface supports many of the same monitoring features as the Device Manager software.

For information about configuration requirements and instructions to install the help files, to enable the Web server using Device Manager, and to access the Web interface, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 User Interface Fundamentals, NN46205-308.

Device Manager

Device Manager is an SNMP-based graphical user interface (GUI) tool designed to manage single devices. To use Device Manager, you must connect to a management station running Device Manager in one of the supported environments.
