OVERVIEW OF THE EXTREMEVIEW APPLICATION

The ExtremeView applet displays information about the status of Extreme switches

(Summit and Black Diamond switches). Any Enterprise Manager user can view status

information about these network devices known to the Enterprise Manager. Users with

Administrator or Manager access can view and modify configuration information for

those switches using either the ExtremeWare Vista graphical user interface, or using

Telnet and the ExtremeWare Command Line Interface (CLI). You can also use the

interactive Telnet capability to view and modify configuration information for Cisco

devices.

ExtremeWare Vista is device management software running in a Summit or Black

Diamond switch. It allows you to access the switch over a TCP/IP network using a

standard Web browser, and provides a set of commands for configuring and monitoring

the Summit or Black Diamond switch.
