1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch

Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch.

• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the

Switch using a (supported) web browser. See

Chapter 4 on page 37

• Command Line Interface. Line commands offer an alternative to the web

configurator and in some cases are necessary to configure advanced features.

See the CLI Reference Guide.

• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See

Section 20.3 on

page 146

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Switch

Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage
the Switch more effectively.
