Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch 1.2 Ways to Manage the Switch Use any of the following methods to manage the Switch. • Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Switch using a (supported) web browser. See Chapter 4 on page 32. • FTP. Use FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See Section 39.4.1 on page 324. • SNMP. The Switch can be monitored by an SNMP manager. See Section 40.5 on page 334. • Cluster Management. Cluster Management allows you to manage multiple switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. See Chapter 43 on page 349. 1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Switch Do the following things regularly to make the Switch more secure and to manage the Switch more effectively. • Change the password. Use a password that's not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters. • Write down the password and put it in a safe place. • Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the Switch to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Switch. You could simply restore your last configuration. See Section 3.4 on page 29 for how to reset the Switch. XS1920 Series User's Guide 21
