■

Management interfaces for the Switch 4108GL

■

Advantages of using each interface

Understanding Management Interfaces

Management interfaces enable you to reconfigure the switch and to monitor 
switch status and performance. The HP Switch 4108GL offers the following 
interfaces:

■

Menu interface

—a menu-driven interface offering a subset of switch 

commands through the built-in VT-100/ANSI console—

page 1-3

■

CLI

—a command line interface offering the full set of switch commands  

through the VT-100/ANSI console built into the switch—

page 1-4

■

Web browser interface

 --a switch interface offering status information 

and a subset of switch commands through a standard web browser (such 
as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer)—

page 1-5

■

HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches

--an easy-to-use, browser-based 

network management tool that works with HP proactive networking 
features built into managed HP hubs and switches 

This manual describes how to use  the menu interface (chapter 2),  the CLI 
(chapter 3), the web browser interface (chapter 4), and how to use these 
interfaces to configure and monitor the switch. 

For information on how to access the web browser interface Help, see “Online 
Help for the Web Browser Interface” on page 4-12.

To use HP TopTools for Hubs & Switches, refer to the 

HP TopTools User’s 

Guide

 and the TopTools online help, which are available electronically with
