5.1 OVERVIEW

Local Management for the 2H28-08R consists of a series of management
screens, some of which allow the management of the 2H28-08R and its
attached segments, and some that report statistics. The management
screens allow the user to do the following tasks:
•Assign IP address and subnet mask.
•Select a default gateway.
•Control access by establishing community names.
•Download a new software image.
•Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP
traps from the device.
•View statistics.
•Configure ports.
•Control the number of receive broadcasts that are switched out to the
other interfaces.
•Clear NVRAM.
There are three ways to access Local Management:
•Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port.
•Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem.
•In-band through a Telnet connection.
