Web-based Management   

The Modular Switch provides an embedded HTML web site residing 
in flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allow 
users to manage the Modular Switch from anywhere on the network 
through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. For 
more information, See Section 5 Web-Based Management. 
 
 

SNMP Network Management 

SNMP ( Simple Network Management Protocol ) provides a means 
to monitor and control network device, and to manage configurations, 
statistic collection, performance, and security.   
Data is passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware & software 
processes reporting activity in each network device to the 
workstation console used to oversee the network. The agent return 
information contained in a MIB ( Management Information Base ), 
which is a data structure that defines what is obtainable from the 
device and what can be controlled.
