the status of each hub and its ports.
■
Display general information for the hub or stack.
■
Enable and disable ports.
■
Configure Smart auto-sensing for the stack.
■
Configure security for the ports, including specifying what
equipment is allowed to communicate through the ports on the
hub.
■
Reset the IP information on the hub or the stack.
■
Set up resilience; specify a backup connection that takes over
should a main connection fail.
■
View statistics.
■
Configure the console port for connection to a modem.
■
Configure security for the hub or stack; change the passwords for
the management user levels.
■
Upgrade the management software in the stack with any future
management agent software upgrade.
■
Restart the hub or stack to refresh its statistics and use any new
configurations.
■
Initialize the hub or stack to return it to its factory settings
(any IP information that has been configured is retained).

network management application if certain conditions arise.
