nection using Telnet or network management software

The different management methods offer different features. Complete
management and monitoring is only available through SNMP. The CLI is
used for configuration, and the HTTP is used for easy remote monitoring.
All management options (except visual monitoring) require a User name
and Password (community for SNMP) before the ECN management can be
accessed.
