1. Overview
About this Guide
This user guide provides instructions to manage, control and monitor the switch using
the Simple Network Manager.
This guide is intended for operating personnel (sometimes called craft persons). Users
must be familiar with the basic operations of a Layer 2 switch. Access to the hardware
interface is by a computer with a telnet terminal.
About the Simple Network Manager
The Simple Network Manager provides you with a simple and intuitive tool to manage,
control and monitor the switch. Most operations can be performed with a click of the
mouse. The Simple Network Manager also includes a command line interface for
managing the switch.
The Simple Network Manager is divided into four main pages, arranged in order of the
frequency that you will typically access them:
System
Provides a real-time overview of the system, and allows you to control downlink
ports and view detailed log activities. See "About the System Page" on page 3.
Ethernet
Provides switch configuration and management as well as uplink and downlink port
management. See "About the Ethernet Page" on page 4.
VLAN
Allows users to view, establish and assign VLANs. See "About the VLAN Page" on
page 20.
Admin
Allows users to setup, configure and manage the switch, enable services and
configure the switch using a command line interface. See "About the Admin Page"
on page 25.

Managing Multiple Switches
When managing multiple switches through the Simple Network Manager, each switch is
shown as a separate browser window or tab. The window/tab title contains the switch
hostname, allowing you to easily identify each switch.
Each tab title is composed of:
1. Hostname of the switch
2. Currently active page on the switch.
