Section 3 Switch Management

Introduction

The Switch supports management through:

•the Windows NT™ or Windows 95™-based GigWorks MKII Switch Utilities,

•a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server, and

•a built-in SNMP Agent.

•Optionally, the GigWorks MKII Switch Web-Based Management Interface application is also available. This management interface is a Web-based (Java) application.

The Switch Utilities require an Ethernet connection to each managed chassis. The Web- based Switch management application can manage multiple fabrics and can manage multi-chassis fabrics through an Ethernet connection to any one chassis in the fabric. Contact your Ancor sales representative or sales engineer for information about the Web-based Switch management application.
