Chapter 1 Product Overview Network Configuration Examples • Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) Connect a PC or terminal directly to the console port, located on the rear panel of the switch, to access the CLI. If the switch is connected to your network, you can use a Telnet connection to manage the switch from a remote location. See the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Command Reference for more information. • CiscoView application The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image that you can use to set configuration parameters and to view switch status and performance information. The CiscoView application, which you purchase separately, can be a standalone application or part of an SNMP network-management platform. See the CiscoView documentation for more information. • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network management You can manage switches from an SNMP-compatible management station that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and MIB II, the IEEE 802.1D bridge MIB, and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more information. Network Configuration Examples This section provides network configuration concepts and includes examples of using the switch to create dedicated network segments and interconnecting the segments through Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections. Design Concepts for Using the Switch As your network users compete for network bandwidth, it takes longer to send and receive data. When you configure your network, consider the bandwidth required by your network users and the relative priority of the network applications they use. Table 1-9 describes what can cause network performance to degrade and describes how you can configure your network to increase the bandwidth available to your network users. 78-6456-04 Catalyst 3500 Series XL Hardware Installation Guide 1-25

Product Overview
Network Configuration Examples
•
Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI)
Connect a PC or terminal directly to the console port, located on the rear
panel of the switch, to access the CLI. If the switch is connected to your
network, you can use a Telnet connection to manage the switch from a remote
location. See the
Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Command Reference
for more
information.
•
CiscoView application
The CiscoView device-management application displays the switch image
that you can use to set configuration parameters and to view switch status and
performance information. The CiscoView application, which you purchase
separately, can be a standalone application or part of an SNMP
network-management platform. See the CiscoView documentation for more
information.
•
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network management
You can manage switches from an SNMP-compatible management station
that is running platforms such as HP OpenView or SunNet Manager. The
switch supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and MIB II, the
IEEE
802.1D bridge MIB, and four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. See
the documentation that came with your SNMP application for more
information.
Network Configuration Examples
This section provides network configuration concepts and includes examples of
using the switch to create dedicated network segments and interconnecting the
segments through Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Design Concepts for Using the Switch
As your network users compete for network bandwidth, it takes longer to send and
receive data. When you configure your network, consider the bandwidth required
by your network users and the relative priority of the network applications they
use.
Table 1-9
describes what can cause network performance to degrade and
describes how you can configure your network to increase the bandwidth
available to your network users.
