Chassis Configuration Screen
6H128-08 and 6H129-08 User’s Guide 5-19
Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)
Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management
application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action
from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user
has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’s Local
Management screens. In this example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no
input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management
application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password
screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to Section 5.7.6.
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 six ports located on the front panel
and each optional Fast Ethernet Interface Module are bridged to each
other.
When the operational mode is set to 802.1Q SWITCHING, the
6H12X-08 acts as an IEEE 802.1Q switch. The modules are able to
increase their switching functionality by creating and maintaining port
based Virtual LANs (VLANs).
This field will display the existing status of the chassis the first time the
screen displays. If modules in the chassis are set to different operational
modes, then the first time this field displays, it will display “MIXED
MODE”. Once the user has entered the field using the arrow keys, it will
then display only the operational mode choices available.
For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.7.7
