MONITORING AND MANAGING

YOUR ELS10-26

Monitoring the ELS10-26 consists of collecting and analyzing

statistics and system status information.

You can use the Select button on the front panel of the ELS10-26 to

monitor segment status on any of the Ethernet ports. Refer to

Section 2.1 for a description of the segment status options.

Basic management of the ELS10-26 consists of disabling or

enabling Ethernet ports, changing subnet masks, setting the

community name for the ELS10-26, and changing the baud rate for

your Local Console Manager (LCM) connection.

4.1 ELS10-26 MANAGEMENT TOOLS

LCM is a command-line interface built into the ELS10-26 that

enables you to monitor and manage the ELS10-26 through the out-

of-band RS232C connection attached to any non-intelligent

terminal. You can also use one of the following Cabletron Systems

Network Management Stations (NMSs), or a standard SNMP-

based NMS to manage the ELS10-26:

• SPECTRUM

• SPMA

• SPEL

• Any SNMP-based NMS

4.2 ELS10-26 STATISTICS

The ELS10-26 gathers statistics that can help you build a

comprehensive proﬁle of the network trafﬁc ﬂow between each

Local Area Network (LAN) you are connecting, as well as the

network trafﬁc ﬂow between each Ethernet port on the ELS10-26.
