Preface

Welcom e to Using Web-based Management for the Business Policy Switch 2000 Software Version 2.0. This document provides instructions on configuring and

managing the Business Policy Switch 2000* through the World Wide Web.

The Web-based management interface is one of many tools specifically designed to assist the network manager in creating complex standalone or network configurations. In addition to the Web-based management system discussed in this book, you can manage the BPS 2000 using SNMP, the Command Line Interface (CLI), Device Manager (DM), or the console interface (CI) menus. Refer to the documents listed “Related publications” on page 26 for information on using and managing the BPS 2000.

This guide describes how to use the Web-based management user interface to configure and maintain your BPS 2000 and the devices connected within its framework.

Before you begin

This guide is intended for network managers who are responsible for configuring BPS 2000. Consequently, this guide assumes prior knowledge and understanding of the terminology, theories, and practices and specific knowledge about the networking devices, protocols, and interfaces that comprise your network.

You should have working knowledge of the Windows graphical user interfaces (GUIs), and Web browsers.
