Setting Up for Management 19

Setting Up for

Management

To make full use of the features offered by your switch, and to change

and monitor the way it works, you have to access the management

software that resides on the switch. This is known as managing the

switch. Managing the switch can help you to improve the efficiency of

the switch and therefore the overall performance of your network.

This section explains the initial set up of the switch and the different

methods of accessing the management software to manage a switch. It

covers the following topics:

■ Methods of Managing a Switch

■ Switch Setup Overview

■ Manually set the IP Address using the Console Port

■ Viewing IP Information using the Console Port

■ Setting Up Web Interface Management

■ Setting Up SNMP Management V1 or V2

■ Default Users and Passwords

Methods of

Managing a Switch

To manage your switch you can use one of the following methods:

■ Web Interface Management

■ SNMP Management

In addition, you can use the Command Line Interface through the

Console port for basic operations of the switch including setting and

viewing the IP address, configuring user accounts, upgrading switch

firmware, and more. Refer to

“3Com CLI Reference Guide” on page 227.

Web Interface

Management

Each switch has an internal set of web pages that allow you to manage

the switch using a Web browser remotely over an IP network (see
