Switch Management
The switches include 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 Web Management chapters later in this guide and

Understanding the System Status LEDs
The switch includes a display panel of key system LED indicators.
The front panel LEDs are described in the following table:
Connecting to the Console Port
The RJ-45 Console port on the front panel of the switch is used to connect a console device to the switch for out-of-band console
configuration. The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. A console
cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to a PC's RS-232 serial DB-9 DTE (COM) port.
NOTE:
To connect to notebooks or other PCs that do not have a DB-9 COM port, use a USB-to-male DB-9 adapter cable (not included
with the switch).
