LOCAL MANAGEMENT

This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to the 2H22-08R, and access the 2H22-08R using its Local Management screens and commands.

5.1OVERVIEW

Local Management is a series of management screens that allows you to configure the 2H22-08R. The management screens allow you to do the following tasks:

•Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to the 2H22-08R

•Assign a default gateway

•Control access to the 2H22-08R by establishing Community Names

•Download a new image of operating software

•Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP traps from the 2H22-08R

•View switch, interface, and RMON statistics

•Assign ports to operate in Auto-Negotiate, standard or full duplex mode

•Perform load sharing by SmartTrunking ports

•Configure optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules of the 2H22-08R

•Clear NVRAM, allows user-entered parameters such as an IP address or Community Names to be deleted.

There are three ways to access Local Management:

•Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port of the 2H22-08R

•Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem

•In-band through a Telnet connection
