IOS command-line interface (CLI)
You can manage switches by using command-line entries. To access the CLI,
connect a PC or terminal directly to the console port on the switch rear panel.
If the switch is attached to your network, you can use a Telnet connection to
manage the switch from a remote location. For more information, refer to the
switch command reference.
CiscoView application
You can use the CiscoView device-management application to set
configuration parameters and to view switch status and performance
information. This application, which you purchase separately, can be a
standalone application or part of an Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) network-management platform. For more information, refer to the
documentation that came with your CiscoView application.
SNMP network management
You can manage switches by using an SNMP-compatible management station
running platforms such as HP OpenView and SunNet Manager. The switch
supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and MIB II, the
IEEE 802.1D bridge MIB, and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. For
more information, refer to the documentation that came with your SNMP
application.
Cisco Intelligence Engine 2100 (IE2100)
The Cisco IE200 Series Configuration Registrar is a network management
device that works with embedded Cisco Networking Services (CNS) agents
in the switch software. You can automate initial configurations and
configuration updates by generating switch-specific configuration changes,
sending them to the switch, executing the configuration change, and logging
the results. For more information, refer to the switch software configuration
guide and the documentation that came with your application.
