1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch
Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch
using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 45.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the web
configurator and in some cases are necessary to configure advanced features.
See the CLI Reference Guide.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See
Section 32.8 on page 281.
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Section 33.3 on
page 286.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple
switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. See Chapter 36 on
page 313.
