Cisco 6506-E core switch software?

Post by smidley »

Hey guys, at work I manage a Cisco 6506-E Core switch, and I'm wondering if there's any programs out there that let you do everything to it via a GUI instead of using telnet or SSH? If anyone knows of anything, it would make my life a lot easier! Thanks!

A basic web management interface is included in IOS, but disabled by default. Enable that and see if it meets your needs.

Just be sure to put some protection on it.. It's disabled by default for a reason.
Simply run adaware, spybot, ZoneAlarm, HijackThis, AVG, update windows daily, have a router, don't open e-mail, turn off action scripting, don't use P2P networks, don't violate EULAs, and wear a condom to get Windows secured.

People say Linux is alot of work!
