• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a
(supported) web browser. See
.
• FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See
• SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See
.
• Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one
switch, called the cluster manager. See
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.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You
could simply restore your last configuration. See
for how to reset the
Switch.
