Cabletron Systems 1800 Chapter 18 Introduction to System Operation

Chapter 18Introduction to System Operation

Once th e databa se has be en config ured and the node ha s been br ought on line, lit tle

operator intervention is generally necessary. The various functions that can be per-

formed from the menus allow the operator to do such things as:

●Perform on-line software updates to nodes.

●Enable and disable ports, useful for maintenance or updates, or for preventing

use of par ticul ar ports (f or any re a son).

●Transfer files between nodes.

●Back up and restore database and/or system files.

●Take control of remote Cabletron frame relay access devices (SmartSwitch

1800, Frame Relay Module , FRX4 000, F RX6000) .

●Monitor status of the node, ports, connections, or traffic.

●Display event messages and configure routing of events.

●Display statistics for level 2, RLPs, and ports, plus IP and IPX interfaces.

●Produc e repo rts on confi gurati on and boot m essag es.

If you are controlling a remote Cabletron frame relay access device, most

of these operations relate to that device.

For reference, the following figure shows the Main Menu.
