The switch has a full-featured, easy to use console interface for performing

switch management tasks including the following:

■ modify the switch’s configuration to optimize switch performance,

enhance network traffic control, and improve network security

■ read the event log and access diagnostic tools to help in troubleshooting

■ download new software to the switch

■ add passwords to control access to the switch from the console, web

browser interface, and network management stations

The console can be accessed through these methods:
