Introduction
This guide will help you use HP Hub & Switch Management for basic manage-
ment of HP network devices.
We assume that you are a knowledgeable HP-UX system and network admin-
istrator, and have supervisory access to your network system and devices. For
example, you should know the following:
■ how to update your HP-UX system with new software
■ how to kill processes
■ how to write scripts
■ how to modify X Window/Motif resources
■ how to view, search, and edit files
You should understand the functions and correct operation of your network
devices, such as hubs, bridges, routers, and switches. Your system should be
set up to support the use of the HP OpenView platform and HP Hub & Switch
Management. You should already have the appropriate network software
running and know how to use your network utilities.
