Introduction

As illustrated in the previous diagram, virtual workgroups allow you to associate multiple ports and deﬁne a workgroup. In reality, you are assigning workgroup IDs to SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX ports.

1.6 LOCAL CONSOLE MANAGER

The Local Console Manager (LCM) is a command-line interface built into the SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX. The LCM enables you to monitor, manage, and conﬁgure the SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX through the out-of-band RS232C connection attached to any non-intelligent terminal or workstation running terminal emulation.

You can also use a Cabletron Systems Network Management System, or a standard SNMP-based Network Management System, to manage the SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX. For a list of available SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX network management tools, see Section 4.1, ELS100-16TX Management Tools.

The following sections describe LCM command syntax and the basic LCM commands for logging in, logging out, and getting help.

•LCM commands used for conﬁguring the SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX are described in Chapter 3, Configuring Your ELS100-16TX.

•LCM commands used for monitoring and managing the SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX are described in Chapter 4, Monitoring and Managing Your ELS100-16TX.

Note: The Getting Started with the SmartSTACK 100 ELS100-16TX guide lists the available LCM commands, including each command’s options.
