CrossFire 8730 Switch Reference Guide, DOC-7047 v. 1.1 Switch Overview
Switch Manager for HP OpenView for Windows
The Switch Manager is an application that runs under HP OpenView for Windows.
It provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that displays a chassis
physical view and supports configuration, performance monitoring, and
troubleshooting.
This application is included with the switch.
For information about Switch Manager on other platforms, please contact your
local Olicom sales representative.
Telnet Management and VT100 Management (Console)
The Console Management function may be accessed out-of-band via the TIA/EIA-
232-F (i.e. RS-232) port labelled MANAGEMENT or in-band via Telnet.
IBM LAN Network Manager
The switch does not support management by the IBM LAN Network Manager, but
it will allow LAN Network Manager LLC frames to flow through the switch so that
communication to existing LNM manageable hubs and source route bridges will be
maintained.
Some error reporting functions and ring map functions might be lost for the rings
attached to through the switch, because a Token-Ring Switch will not (and should
not) forward MAC frames, but only LLC frames between ports.
