Management Options
You can use the default settings shipped with the Catalyst 1900 switch, or you can
customize the switch configuration through the management options described in this
section. The Catalyst 1900 Switch Manager is the easiest interface to use for basic
configuration and monitoring tasks. To perform all the configuration and monitoring tasks,
use the management console, the SNMP, or the command-line interface (CLI).
If your switch is or will be part of a switch cluster, you can also configure and monitor it
from the Cluster Management applications of a cluster command switch.
Access to the management console or CLI requires a direct connection to the switch
console port or a Telnet session. Access to the Catalyst 1900 Switch Manager, Cluster
Management applications, or SNMP requires a connection to one of the switch network
ports. For more information about accessing the management interfaces, see the “Accessing
the Management Interfaces” section on page 2-34.
This section describes the hardware and software requirements and provides the following
overviews:
• Configuring the switch as an individual switch or as a cluster member
• Catalyst 1900 Switch Manager, including the default settings

Note The menu-based diagnostic console is described in the “Recovery Procedures Using
