3.4.3 Management Architecture
All of the management application modules use the same Messaging Application Programming
Interface (MAPI). By unifying management methods with a single MAPI, configuration parameters set
using one method (console port, for example) are immediately displayable by the other management
methods (for example, SNMP agent of Web browser).
The management architecture of the Switch adheres to the IEEE open standard. This compliance
assures customers that the Switch is compatible with, and will interoperate with other solutions that
adhere to the same open standard.
