Cabletron Systems 7C04-R, 7C03 manual Enabling and Disabling Bridge Ports, Speed Selection

Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View

NOTE

Current 7C0x firmware versions support only Local Management and UPS via the COM port; future versions will add SLIP and PPP support.

Speed Selection

If you have configured the selected port as a SLIP or PPP connection, you must select the appropriate baud rate: 2400, 4800, 9600, 19,200, or Auto-Baud. Note that this field will default to Auto-Baud and become unselectable when the COM Port Function is set to LM or UPS.

If the COM port you wish to configure is currently set to LM or UPS, the Speed Selection

TIP field will be unavailable until the COM Port Function is set to SLIP or PPP and that change is applied. Once available, the Speed Selection field will default to the last known speed setting; click on the field to change this setting if necessary, then click

again to complete the configuration.

To change any of the configuration parameters on the selected COM port:

1.Click on the COM Port Admin: or COM Port Function: selection button to display a menu of available options.

2.Drag down to select the desired setting, then release.

3.Click on to save your changes.

Enabling and Disabling Bridge Ports

For devices configured to operate as traditional bridges, you can use the Bridge Port menu (available in the Bridge Application Display mode) or simply click on any Bridge Port index or display box to enable or disable any bridging interface.

To do so:

1.If necessary, put the Hub View into the Bridge Application Display mode (click either mouse button on the Module Index or Module Type box to display the Module menu, drag down to Application Display, then across to select Bridge).

2.Click mouse button 1 on the bridge interface you wish to enable or disable; or

Click mouse button 3 on the bridge interface you wish to enable or disable to display the Bridge Port menu; drag down to Enable or Disable, as desired, and release.
