Advantages of Using the Switch Console
Figure 1-2. Example of the Switch Console Display
■
More comprehensive set of features and parameters
to work with
than the web browser interface
■
Out-of-band access
(through direct cable connection) to switch, so
network bottlenecks, crashes, and network downtime do not slow or
prevent access
■
Telnet access
to the full console functionality
■
Ability to configure management access
, for example, creating an IP
address, and setting Community Names and Authorized Managers
■
Rebooting the switch
through either direct or Telnet access
■
Faster navigation
, avoiding delays for slower display of graphical
objects over a browser interface
