Embedded Web GUI offers rich provisioning and monitoring unlike CMC

Today CMC has limited provisioning and monitoring capabilities such as VLAN assignment. Embedded GUI offers a lot more functionalities.

• Changing the operational mode of the device

• Enable/Disable ports

• Provisioning TACACS+/RADIUS

• Monitoring health and details status, alerts and activities etc.
