STRUCTURE OF THIS GUIDE
The guide is organized as follows:
Chapter 1, Introduction, provides an overview of the tasks that may be accomplished using Local
Management (LM), and an introduction to LM screen navigation, in-band and out-of-band
network management, screen elements, and LM keyboard conventions.
Chapter 2, Local Management Requirements, provides the setup requirements for accessing
Local Management, the instructions to configure and connect a management terminal to the
SmartSwitch, and the instructions for connecting the SmartSwitch to an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) to monitor the UPS power status.
Chapter 3, Accessing Local Management, describes how to use the Main Menu screen to select
either the Chassis Menu screen or the Module Selection screen. The Chassis Menu screen is the
access point to the set of Local Management screens for the chassis. The Module Selection screen
is used to select the module to be configured and its Module Menu screen. The Module Menu
screen is the access point to the set of Local Management screens for the selected module and the
Module Login Password screen. The Security screens are also described in this chapter.
Chapter 4, Chassis Menu Screens, describes the Chassis Menu screen and the screens that can be
selected to configure chassis operation. These screens are used to configure the operating
parameters for the chassis, assign community names, and set SNMP traps; and obtain the operating
status of the chassis power supplies, power supply redundancy, and chassis fan tray. This screen
also provides access to screens to configure the port redirect and VLAN redirect functions.
Chapter 5, Module Configuration Menu Screens, describes the Module Configuration Menu
screen and the screens that can be selected from it. These screens are used to control access to the
switch module by assigning community names, configure the switch module to send SNMP trap
messages to multiple network management stations, limit access according to an Access Control
List (ACL) for additional security, access system resource information, download a new firmware
image to the switch module, provide access to menu screens to configure ports, and configure the
switch module for 802.1, 802.1Q VLAN, and layer 3 operations.
Chapter 6, Port Configuration Menu Screens, describes how to use the screens to configure the
ports for various operations, such as for Ethernet Interface, HSIM/VHSIM, port and VLAN
redirect, SmartTrunk, and broadcast suppression configuration.
NOTE: If you are installing modules into a seven-slot 6C107 chassis, there are
installation rules that must be followed to install 6H202, 6H203, 6H253, 6H258, 6H259,
6H262, 6E233, and 6E253 modules along with 6H3xx and 6G3xx modules in the same
chassis. Otherwise, the system will not operate properly.
