CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.7LOCAL MANAGEMENT FEATURES

Local Management for the EMM-E6 provides tools that allow you to manage the device and its attached segments. Through Local Management you can:

Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the EMM-E6 bridge via the Configuration Screen menu.

Select a default gateway and default interface.

Control EMM-E6 local and remote access by establishing Community Names.

Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP traps from the EMM-E6.

Navigate through Management Information Bases (MIBs). Since the EMM-E6 is an SNMP compliant device, you can manage related SNMP MIB objects, given the appropriate security level. You can also manage the IETF Bridge MIB objects and many of the RMON (Remote Monitoring) MIB objects.

Other management capabilities include enabling and unlocking all managed ports in the Multi Media Access Center (MMAC) chassis.
