Introduction to SPMA for the 7C0x SmartSwitch
Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch User’s Guide
Your SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the 7C0x
SmartSwitch consists of a number of different applications, each of which
provides a portion of the overall management functionality. Each of these
applications can be accessed from the icon menu (if you are using a management
platform) and from the Stand-alone Launcher or the command line (if you are
running in stand-alone mode); in addition, several applications can also be
accessed from within the Hub View, a graphical display of the 7C0x SmartSwitch
hub and its installed modules.
The 7C0x SmartSwitch
User’s Guide
describes how to use many of the
applications included with the module; note that the instructions provided in this
guide apply to the 7C0x SmartSwitch module regardless of the operating system
or management platform you are using. Instructions for launching each
individual function from the command line (stand-alone mode) are also included
in each chapter.
Following is a description of the applications covered in this guide; while we
provide as much background information as we can, we do assume that you’re
familiar with Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, and ATM networks, traditional
bridging and switching, and with general network management concepts:
•
Chapter 1,
Introduction to SPMA for the 7C0x SmartSwitch
