Understanding Management Interfaces
The Access Point 530 management interfaces enable you to reconfigure the
access point and to monitor its status and performance. Interface types
include:
■ CLI—a command line interface offering the full set of access point
commands through the VT-100/ANSI console built into the access point.
See “Advantages of Using the CLI” on page 5.
■ Web browser interface—an access point interface offering status infor-
mation and access point configuration,
See “Advantages of Using the ProCurve
Access Point 530 Browser Interface” on page 6.
■ SNMP—a network management application such as the ProCurve
Manager to manage the access point via the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) from a network management station.
This manual describes how to use the CLI and the Web browser interface, and
how to use these interfaces to configure and monitor the access point.
Note This manual does describe how to configure SNMP functions on the AP530,
but does not describe how to manage the access point using SNMP. For further
information, see the documentation of your SNMP management application.
