Selecting a Management Interface

Advantages of Using the Menu Interface

Figure 1-1. Example of the Console Interface Display

■

Provides quick, easy management access

to a menu-driven subset of

switch configuration and performance features:

The menu interface also provides access for:

■

Offers out-of-band access

(through the RS-232 connection) to the

switch, so network bottlenecks, crashes, lack of configured or correct IP
address, and network downtime do not slow or prevent access

■

Enables Telnet (in-band) access

to the menu functionality.

■

Allows faster navigation

, avoiding delays that occur with slower

display of graphical objects over a web browser interface.

■

Provides more security

; configuration information and passwords are

not seen on the network.

• IP addressing

• VLANs and GVRP

• Port Security

• Port and Static Trunk Group

• Stack Management

• Spanning Tree

• System information

• Passwords

• SNMP communities

• Time protocols

• Setup screen

• Event Log display

• Switch and port

status displays

• Switch and port statistic and counter

displays

• Reboots

• Software downloads
