If the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch module does not need further configuration. You
can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:
• Using the Device Manager
Access the device manager through a web browser from anywhere in your network. Follow
these
steps:
a. Launch a web browser on your PC or workstation.
b. Enter the switch module IP address in the web browser, and press Enter. The device manager
page appears.
c. Use the device manager to perform basic switch module configuration and monitoring. Refer to
the device manager online help for more information.
• Using the CLI
The switch module CLI is based on Cisco IOS software and enhanced to support desktop-switching
features. You can fully configure and monitor the switch module from the CLI. You can access the
CLI either by connecting your management station directly to the switch module console port or by
using Telnet from a remote management station. Refer to the switch module command reference on
Cisco.com for more information.
• Using SNMP
You can use SNMP management applications such as CiscoWorks Small Network Management
Solution (SNMS) to configure and manage the switch module. You also can manage it from
an
SNMP-compatible workstation that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet
Manager.
