CHAPTER 5
LOCAL MANAGEMENT
This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to access the TRXI’s Local Management. It also explains the Local Management screens and instructions for using them.
Local Management provides the tools to manage the TRXI and all of its attached segments. You can change factory defaults, enable/disable ports, and use the advanced features of Local Management to:
•control access to your token ring network using the Ring Security feature
•assign an IP address and subnet mask
•set interface parameters for both serial ports, Local Management (Console), Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), Uninterruptible Power Supply proxy (UPS), or Modem
•control password access to the TRXI through the community names established in the Community Names Table
•designate which Network Management Workstations receive trap alarms from the device
•navigate through the Management Information Base (MIB) and manage the objects within it from a remote location. Given the appropriate security level, the MIB is accessible from the TRXI through the SNMP Tools screen.
