Product Manager Overview
This chapter is an introduction and overview of the Edge Switch 2/32 Product
Manager application. It is intended as a quick reference for using features available
through the main Product Manager window.
Managing the Edge Switch 2/32
These options are available for managing the Edge Switch 2/32 through a user
interface:
•The Product Manager application installed on an High Availability Fabric
Manager (HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the
HAFM applications. These applications are installed on the HAFM server.
• The Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an
internet connection to the Switch, you can monitor and manage the Switch
through the web server interface embedded in the Switch firmware. The interface
provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application and supports Switch
configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.
To launch the Embedded Web Server interface, enter the Switch’s IP address as
the internet uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter a
user name and password at a the login screen. The browser then becomes a
management console. Refer to the web server interface online help for details on
use.
NOTE: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is “operator.”
The default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform maintenance tasks, or
perform other options is “administrator.” The default password for both user names is
“password.”
• The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many HAFM
and Product Manager functions while entering commands during a Telnet session
with the Switch.The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a
large number of Switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no
checking is done for pre-existing
