Management Overview
The switch includes a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor
the switch using its embedded management software. To manage the switch, you
can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage
it through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), a web
browser, or SNMP-based network management software.
For a detailed description of the switch’s software features, refer to the
Management Guide.
