Cabletron Systems 6H122-16 manual Navigating Local Management Screens

Accessing Local Management

NOTE

The User’s password is one of the community names specified in the SNMP Community Names screen. Access to certain Local Management capabilities depends on the degree of access given to the specific community name. Refer to Section 5.8.

If an invalid password is entered, the terminal beeps and the cursor returns to the beginning of the password entry field.

Entering a valid password causes the associated access level to display at the bottom of the screen and the Main Menu screen to display.

If no activity occurs for several minutes, the Password screen displays and the session ends.

5.4.1Navigating Local Management Screens

The 6H122-16 Local Management application consists of a series of menu screens. Navigate through Local Management by selecting items from the menu screens.

The 6H122-16 supports three modes of switch operation. The switching modes are as follows:

•802.1D SWITCHING (IEEE 802.1D switching)

•802.1Q SWITCHING (802.1Q port based VLANs)

•SECURE FAST VLAN (Cabletron Systems SecureFast Switching)

NOTE

Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the product to verify which screens are supported in each of the three available switching modes.

The switch operational mode may be set in either the Chassis Configuration screen (Section 5.7), or the General Configuration screen of the module (Section 5.15). Depending on the Operational Mode set for the module, the hierarchy of Local Management screens differs as shown in Figure 5-4, Figure 5-5, and Figure 5-6.
