• CiscoView application
You can use the CiscoView device-management application to set
configuration parameters and to view switch status and performance
information. This application, which you purchase separately, can be a
standalone application or part of an Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) network-management platform. For more information, refer to the
documentation that came with your CiscoView application.
• SNMP network management
You can manage switches by using an SNMP-compatible management station
running platforms such as HP OpenView and SunNet Manager. The switch
supports a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and MIB II, the
IEEE 802.1D bridge MIB, and four RMON groups. For more information,
refer to the documentation that came with your SNMP application.
