LOCAL MANAGEMENT BASICS

 

This chapter describes the use of the 7600 Fast Ethernet Interface Card

 

Administration Console, its Main menu display and its controls. A Menu

 

Index is also included which provides a reference to the command

 

description for each menu command.

some network management capabilities. To augment network

 

management, you can use an external application, such as 3Com’s

 

TranscendTM Enterprise Manager ATMvLAN Manager.

Menu Hierarchy

The management commands are organized in a hierarchical menu

 

system. At first, the Main menu is displayed showing the main topics for

 

management such as “system”, “ethernet” and “bridge”. Under each

 

main topic is a submenu which shows more specific command topics.

These submenus may themselves have submenus and so on until the actual management commands are displayed. The menu structure appears in Figure 4-1 below.
