Configuration in a Managed Environment

With an EMM already installed, all DIP switch settings on the 24-Port Module are ignored. For this reason, 3Com recommends that you use network management commands instead of DIP switches to configure the module.

Note: Do not use a slave management module to manage (for example, configure or get statistics for) a 24-Port Module.

Note: To fully support Model Number 5124M-TPCL, you must have EMM Version v3.2 or later. To fully support Model Number 5124M-TP, you must have EMM Version v4.30 or later.

The following sections describe important module configuration issues and settings you can configure for both models of the 24-Port Module:

❑If Management is Not Available

❑Before Configuring the Module

❑Enabling Ports

❑Enabling Port Redundancy

❑Enabling Link Integrity

❑Selecting a Network
