LOCAL MANAGEMENT

This chapter provides information about using Local Management with the VHSIM-G02. The VHSIM-G02 is managed using the Local Management Ethernet screens for configuration and statistics on the host platform.

NOTE

The host platform is the interface module or standalone device in which the VHSIM-G02 is installed.

4.1REQUIREMENTS

Make sure that the following requirements have been met before accessing the VHSIM-G02 through Local Management:

•The VHSIM-G02 is installed in the host platform.

•The device is powered up and running with no error LED conditions.

•A Local Management terminal is properly configured and connected to the host platform. Refer to the host platform user’s guide to establish a Local Management connection.

4.2GIGABIT PORT MODE

Local Management Network Tools can be used to change the status of the Gigabit Port Mode. Either both ports can be enabled at the same time, or Port 1 can be active and Port 2 can be set up as redundant. Use the gigabit_port_mode command for this process. Refer to the host platforms’ Local Management documentation for details on this process. Refer to Section 3.2 for hardware restrictions on setting redundancy.

Important

The Local Management screens are used by the host platform for both configuration and statistics information. These screens will not be repeated in this manual. Refer to the host platform documentation for information on Local Management screens. Refer to Section 1.4 for information on how to obtain host platform manuals.
