Configuration
This Chapter will describe the use of the NP2724M Management
configuration program.
2.7. Preparing for configuration
NP2724M offers a console CLI interface for switch configuration and web
management. Users can use this interface to perform device configuration.
There are four methods to manage your switch:
Local Console Management
You can manage the NP2724M switch locally by connecting the switch to a
PC or workstation with terminal emulation software using the serial port.
Remote Console Management
You can manage the switch by having a remote host establish a Telnet
connection to the switch via an Ethernet or modem link.
SNMP Management
You can manage the switch across a LAN using an SNMP Network
Management Station with a graphical user interface. Note that to use this
management method, your network must use the IP protocol and your switch
must be configured on the Network with a proper IP address.
