Overview of Console Applications
Example of the HP AdvanceStack Switch 800T with Four 100Base-TX Transceivers
installed
When powered-up in the factory default configuration, the Switch 800T-
automatically operates as a multiport learning bridge with the following
configuration:
■ All ports are enabled and are members of a single broadcast domain
■ Spanning tree protocol (STP) disabled
The console interface provides the following capabilities for use when you
want to move beyond this basic level of operation:
■ Monitoring system performance and status
■ Customizing the system configuration for improved performance and
unique system requirements
■ Enabling network management (SNMP) access
■ Setting passwords to help protect system security
■ Downloading system software updates
■ Troubleshooting
