The Configuration Manager Editor window: Switch component allows
you to configure the login information and network protocols that the switch
will use.
Introduction
The
Switch component allows you to change the user name and password for all switch
modules of this type. In addition, you can select the protocols that the switch
module can use. You can choose from HTTP, Telnet, and SNMP.
Fields
