Managing the Switch

After completing the initial setup and configuration steps, use the CLI, the device
manager, or other management options described in this section for further
configuration.

Using the CLI

After setting up and installing the switch in your network, you can enter
Cisco IOS commands and parameters through the CLI. Access the CLI either by
connecting your PC directly to the switch console port or through a Telnet session
from a remote PC or workstation. You can also access the CLI through the server
chassis serial console port of the active Dell CMC. For more information, see the
hardware installation guide on Cisco.com.

Using the Device Manager

The simplest way to manage the switch is by using the device manager that is in
the switch memory. This is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick
configuration and monitoring. You can access the device manager from anywhere
in your network through a web browser. The device manager dashboard is shown
