I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish but since you are trying to connect over a network check out the .NET Socket class.

Since you're posting in .NET, you have many options for languages (C# and VB.NET being the most popular). They all connect to the same framework so the link I posted is relevant regardless of the syntax that you chose.

If you have never used .NET before, hoose the language that you are most comfortable using (syntactically)

If the hardware(the switch)generates a web page that lets you configure it, your program won't use socket programming.

You are going to have to:
  • retrieve the HTML page from the switch
  • parse the HTML to retrieve the information you need
  • send web requests to the switch to do things with it

To retrieve the webpage you will have to use the HttpWebRequest class.

You will have to authenticate with the switch in order to do things with it.
