Note Selecting a Management Interface Understanding Management Interfaces The switches covered in this guide allow up to 6 console connections. Console session 1 always belongs to the serial console, console session 2 always belongs to the USB serial console, and the remaining 4 can be used via ssh or telnet from a network connection. Understanding Management Interfaces Management interfaces enable you to reconfigure the switch and to monitor switch status and performance. The switch offers the following interfaces: ■ Menu interface-a menu-driven interface offering a subset of switch commands through the built-in VT-100/ANSI console-2-4 ■ CLI-a command line interface offering the full set of switch commands through the VT-100/ANSI console built into the switch-2-5 ■ 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)-2-6 ■ ProCurve Manager (PCM)-a windows-based network management solution included in-box with all manageable ProCurve devices. Features include automatic device discovery, network status summary, topology and mapping, and device management. ■ ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+)-a complete windows-based network management solution that provides both the basic features offered with PCM, as well as more advanced management features, including in-depth traffic analysis, group and policy management, config uration management, device software updates, and advanced VLAN management. (ProCurve includes a copy of PCM+ in-box for a 30-day trial.) This manual describes how to use the menu interface (Chapter 3), the CLI (Chapter 4), the web browser interface (Chapter 5), 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 5-12. To use ProCurve Manager or ProCurve Manager Plus, refer to the Getting Started Guide and the Administrator's Guide, which are available electron ically with the software for these applications.
