Local Management consists of a series of screens that allow the management of the 2H23-50R or 2H33-37R. The 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 operation firmware image.

•Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP traps from the device.

•View bridge and port statistics.

•Configure switch operations (802.1D, 802.1Q, or SecureFast Switching).

•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 of the 2H23-50R or 2H33-37R.

•Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem.

•In-band through a Telnet connection.
