if the default configuration is satisfactory, the switch does not need further configuration. you can use any of these management options to change the default configuration:

    1 start the device manager, which is in the switch memory, to manage individual and standalone switches. the device manager is an easy-to-use web interface that offers quick configuration and monitoring. you can access the device manager from anywhere in your network through a web browser. for more information, see the device manager online help.

    2 start the network assistant application, which is described in the getting started with cisco network assistant guide. through this gui, you can configure and monitor a switch cluster or an individual switch.

    3 use the cli from the console to configure the switch as a member of a cluster or as an individual switch. see the catalyst 2960 switch software configuration guide and the catalyst 2960 switch command reference on cisco.com for information on using the cli with a catalyst 2960 switch.

    4 start an snmp application such as the ciscoview application.
