page 3-8). This screen allows you to set or modify IP configuration parameters.

SNMP Configuration...

Displays the SNMP Configuration screen (see “SNMP Configuration” on

 

 

page 3-13). This screen allows you to set or modify the SNMP read-only

 

 

community and read-write community strings, enable or disable the

 

 

authentication trap and the link Up/down trap, set the IP address of trap

 

 

receivers, and set the trap community strings.

System

 

Displays the System Characteristics screen (see “System Characteristics” on

Characteristics...

page 3-15). This screen allows you to view switch characteristics, including

 

 

number of resets, power status, hardware and firmware version, and MAC

 

 

address. This screen also contains three user-configurable fields: sysContact,

 

 

sysName, and sysLocation. When the switch is part of a stack configuration, this

 

 

screen also displays the base unit identification, the number of units configured

 

 

in the stack, and the local unit stack number.

Switch Configuration...

Displays the Switch Configuration Menu screen (see “Switch Configuration” on

 

 

page 3-18). This menu provides the following configuration options: MAC

 

 

Address Table, VLAN Configuration, Port Configuration, High speed Flow

 

 

Control Configuration (only when a gigabit MDA is installed), MultiLink Trunk

 

 

Configuration, Port Mirroring Configuration, Rate Limiting Configuration, IGMP

 

 

Configuration, Display Port Statistics, and Clear All Port Statistics.

Console/Comm Port

Displays the Console/Comm Port Configuration screen (see “Console/Comm

Configuration...

 

Port Configuration” on page 3-58). This screen allows you to configure and

 

 

modify the console/Comm port parameters, including the console port speed

 

 

and password settings for the switch and stack operation.

Identify Unit Numbers

Only appears when the switch is participating in a stack configuration. When

 

 

selected, this option identifies the unit numbering of each unit in a stack

 

 

configuration by lighting the corresponding number of (100 Mb/s) port LEDs for

 

 

approximately 10 seconds. For example, in a 4-unit stack, unit 1 displays one

 

 

LED, unit 2 displays two LEDs, unit 3 displays three LEDs, and unit 4 displays

 

 

four LEDs. The LED displays temporarily override any existing

 

 

100 Mb/s LED indications on all unit LED display panels.

Renumber Stack Units

Only appears when the switch is participating in a stack configuration. Displays

 

 

the Renumber Stack Units screen (see “Renumber Stack Units” on page 3-65).

 

 

This screen allows you to renumber the units at any time.
