How You Can Manage Your Stack 5-3
How You Can
Manage Your Stack
A stack of PS Hubs is treated as a single manageable entity, and the
management is distributed. Any network address information (IP
information) that you configure for a hub, can be used to access the
stack.
The PS Hub has two built-in management interfaces which you can
access locally (through the hub’s console port) or remotely (over the
network):
■
A Command Line Interface (CLI) — can be used to set up the stack
with network address information.
■
A web interface — provides easy management of the stack from
any suitable web browser.
There is also a management application called Transcend Quick
Configuration Manager, referred to as ‘
Quick Config Manager
’ in this
guide, that is supplied on the CD-ROM. It runs under Microsoft
Windows
®
and provides an easy-to-use graphical management system.
Command Line
Interface
The PS Hub’s Command Line Interface (CLI) is a simple text-based user
interface which allows you to configure some network information for
your hub. The CLI provides just a subset of the web interface’s
functionality but is intended as a quick setup tool, to get your hub
ready for management over the network. You can use a Terminal or
Terminal emulator to access the CLI.
Web Interface
The PS Hub’s web interface provides easy management of the stack.
It behaves in a similar way to a web site on the World Wide Web in
that you access it using a web browser. You use its different pages to
change the network information in your stack and perform different
management tasks.
