c2960s ethernet management port

Hi,

Can the ethernet management port on a 2960s be used to source syslog, snmp traps, ntp updates... ?

this is not mentioned in the software configuration guide (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12.2_55_se/configuration/guide/swint.html#wp2220949) and what worries is the instability warning in the bottom..

thanks,

bart

Yes, i know .. Thats why i placed the url.  Just wondering of this interface can be used for syslog and traps without having instabilities?
