Setting up the Intel
®
Express 530T Switch
Overview
This guide provides information on configuring and managing the Intel
®
Express 530T Switch and is organized into these chapters:
•
Chapter 1 - Information on the switch hardware and optional
modules
•
Chapter 2 - Information on using the switch in a LAN and advanced
features such as link aggregation and Virtual LANs (VLANs)
•
Chapter 3 - How to use Intel Device View
•
Chapter 4 - How to use Web Device Manager
•
Chapter 5 - Overview of Local Management
Management
Through the switch’s built-in management you can configure the device
and monitor network health. There are several methods for managing this
switch; you can use one method or any combination.
•
SNMP management applications such as Intel
®
Device View,
LANDesk
®
Network Manager, or HP OpenView* are tailored for
Intel products and show a graphical representation of the device
(with the use of the proper MIB).
•
Onboard management allows control over the device without
using an SNMP application. The Web Device Manager provides a
graphical interface; Local Management is a menu-driven interface.
•
Other SNMP-compliant applications can manage 530T switches
if you compile the switch’s MIB files into that application.
