The Series 4100gl Switches have built-in management capabilities that
proactively help you manage your network including:
■
finding and helping you fix the most common network error conditions
(for example, faulty network cabling, and non-standard network topolo-
gies)
■
informing you of the problem with clear, easy-to-understand messages
■
recommending network configuration changes to enhance the perfor-
mance of your network
The following interfaces provide tests, indicators, and an event log that can
be used to monitor the switch and its network connections, and to help you
take advantage of these proactive networking features:
■
HP ProCurve Manager for Hubs & Switches - an SNMP-based network
management tool that is included with your switch
■
A graphical web browser interface that you can use to manage your switch
from a PC that is running a supported web browser, for example Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.
■
A full-featured easy-to-use console interface that you can access by
merely connecting a standard terminal or PC running a terminal emulator
to the switch’s console port. The cable to make that connection is
provided with your switch. The console interface is also accessible
through a telnet connection.
See the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the
Management and Configuration
Guide
that is on the documentation CD-ROM that came with your switch, for
more information on using these software tools to diagnose and manage your
switch.
