What is 
Management 
Software?
Your Switch contains software that allows you to change and monitor the 
way it works. This 
management
 software is not required to get the 
Switch working, but if you do use it, you may improve the efficiency of 
the Switch and therefore improve the overall performance of your 
network.
Summary of
