Switch Management
The Edge Switch 2/32 is managed and controlled through the following user
interfaces:
■ The Product Manager application installed on an High Availability Fabric
Manager (HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the
HAFM applications. These applications are installed on the HAFM server.
■
The Embedded Web Server interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an
internet connection to the switch, you can monitor and manage the switch
through the web server interface embedded in the switch firmware. The
interface provides a GUI similar to the
Product Manager application and
supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.
To launch the Embedded Web Server interface, enter the switch IP address as
the internet uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter
a user name and password at a the login screen. The browser then becomes a
management console. Refer to the web server interface online help for details
on use.
