Chassis Configuration Screen

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER.

If the time entered is within the 3 to 99 seconds range, the Event Message Line at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does not alter the current setting, but it does refresh the Screen Refresh Time field with the previous value.

5.7.6Setting the Screen Lockout Time

The screen lockout time can be set from 1 to 30 minutes with a default of

15 minutes. To set a new lockout time, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Screen Lockout field.

2.Enter a number from 1 to 30.

3.Press ENTER to set the lockout time in the input field.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER.

If the time entered is within the 1 to 30 minutes range, the Event Message Line at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does not alter the current setting, but it does refresh the Screen Lockout Time field with the previous value.

5.7.7Setting the Operational Mode

This field will come up with the current Operational Mode status of the chassis when the screen is initially viewed. It will show “MIXED” if modules in the chassis are set to different operational modes. Once the user has entered the field and toggled it, it becomes a modifiable field and does not show status again unless the screen is exited and reentered. The options are 802.1D SWITCHING and 802.1Q SWITCHING. To change the mode of switching, perform the following steps:

To set the Operational Mode, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Operational Mode field.

2.Press the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate operation mode, either 802.1D SWITCHING or 802.1Q SWITCHING.

6H129-08, 6H128-08 specifications

Cabletron Systems was a notable provider of networking hardware in the 1990s, specializing in solutions that enabled enterprises to build robust and scalable networks. Among their product offerings were the models 6H128-08 and 6H129-08, which were designed to meet the needs of demanding networking environments.

The 6H128-08 is an Ethernet hub that supports up to 128 ports. This model is particularly recognized for its reliability and performance in connecting numerous devices within a local area network. One of the main features of the 6H128-08 is its support for both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet standards, allowing it to handle varying data transmission speeds and ensuring compatibility with older and newer devices. This dual support features made it particularly appealing for businesses transitioning from older network technologies to faster Ethernet connections.

In terms of technology, the 6H128-08 leverages a centralized architecture which reduces network collision domains. This design contributes to improved network performance by allowing simultaneous data transmission from multiple devices. The hub features a range of LEDs that provide real-time status updates on port connectivity and data transmission activity. This allows network administrators to easily monitor and troubleshoot connectivity issues.

The 6H129-08 is often paired with the 6H128-08, functioning effectively as an additional port expander or in cascading configurations. This model also supports 128 ports and offers identical compatibility with the Ethernet standards mentioned, ensuring seamless integration in larger network setups. An important characteristic of the 6H129-08 is its enhanced fault tolerance, which is vital in mission-critical environments where network downtime must be minimized.

Both models are equipped with various management features, enabling network administrators to configure settings and optimize performance easily. The ability to use SNMP for network management supports monitoring and managing the entire network from centralized software applications.
