Understanding the User Interfaces

The software includes a set of comprehensive management functions for configuring and monitoring the system by using one of the following methods:

• Web User Interface
• Command-Line Interface (CLI)
• SNMP
• OpEN API
• RESTful API
• RESTCONF
• NETCONF

Each of the standards-based management methods allows you to configure and monitor the components of the software. The method you use to manage the system depends on your network size and requirements, and on your preference.

Note

Not all components can be managed by each interface.

This guide describes how to use the web-based interface to manage and monitor the system. For information about how to manage and monitor the system by using the CLI, see ExtremeSwitching 200 Series: Command Reference Guide.

Note

The web configuration and monitoring pages and CLI commands available for each platform depend on the software version and modules installed. For more information about the modules, see Getting Started.
