This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to access Local Management. It also explains how to use the Local Management screens and commands.

5.1OVERVIEW

Local Management for the 2M46-04R consists of a series of screens that allow the management of the 2M46-04R. The screens allow the user to do the following tasks:

•Assign IP address and subnet mask

•Select a default gateway

•Control access by establishing community names

•Download a new operation software image

•Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP traps from the device

•View statistics

•Configure ports

•Control the number of receive broadcasts that are switched out to the other interfaces

There are three ways to access Local Management:

•Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port

•Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem

•In-band through a Telnet connection

NOTE

If you have an HSIM-W6 or HSIM-W84 installed in your 2M46-04R, their Local Management screens can only be accessed via their respective ASYNC ports. See the associated HSIM user’s guides for more details.
