Other Management Options

You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS)
and Cisco netManager to configure and manage the switch. You also can manage it from an
SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as Cisco netManager or SunNet Manager.
The Cisco Configuration Engine is a network management device that works with embedded Cisco
Networking Services (CNS) agents in the switch software. You can use it to automate initial
configurations and configuration updates on the switch.
See the

lighting fixtures. Make sure the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the
cables.
