2 Logging Into the Switch
Logging into the switch may be done locally or remotely. Management tools include: the Command Line
Interface (CLI), which may be accessed locally through the console port, or remotely through Telnet;
WebView, which requires an HTTP client (browser) on a remote workstation; and SNMP, which requires
an SNMP manager (such as Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista or HP OpenView) on the remote workstation.
Secure sessions are available using the Secure Shell interface; file transfers are done through FTP or
Secure Shell FTP.
