Chapter 5: Local Management

Chassis Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time the chassis has been operating. The chassis uptime is based on which interface module installed in the chassis has been operating for the longest period of time.

Operational Mode (Toggle)

This field allows the user to set all the modules in the chassis to operate as traditional switches (802.1D SWITCHING option), or as IEEE 802.1Q switches (802.1Q SWITCHING option).

In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the 16 ports located on the front panel are bridged to each other.

When the operational mode is set to 802.1Q SWITCHING, the 6H122-16 acts as an IEEE 802.1Q switch. The module can be configured to increase its switching functionality by creating and maintaining port based Virtual LANs (VLANs).

For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.7.7.

5.7.1Setting the IP Address

To set the IP address, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.

2.Enter the IP address into this field using Decimal Dotted Notation (DDN) format.

For example: 134.141.79.120

3.Press ENTER. If the IP address is a valid format, the cursor returns to the beginning of the IP address field. If the entry is not valid, the Event Message Line displays “INVALID IP ADDRESS OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value and refreshes the IP address field with the previous value.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command, then press ENTER. The “SAVED OK” message displays indicating that the changes have been saved to memory.
