Navigating Local Management Screens

The 6H122-16 Local Management application consists of a series of
menu screens. Navigate through Local Management by selecting items
from the menu screens.

The 6H122-16 supports three modes of switch operation. The switching
modes are as follows:

802.1D SWITCHING (IEEE 802.1D switching)

802.1Q SWITCHING (802.1Q port based VLANs)

SECURE FAST VLAN (Cabletron Systems SecureFast Switching)

The switch operational mode may be set in either the Chassis
Configuration screen (

Section 5.7

), or the General Configuration screen

of the module (

Section 5.15

). Depending on the Operational Mode set for

the module, the hierarchy of Local Management screens differs as shown
in

Figure 5-4

,

Figure 5-5

, and

Figure 5-6

.

NOTE

The User’s password is one of the community names specified
in the SNMP Community Names screen. Access to certain
Local Management capabilities depends on the degree of
access given to the specific community name. Refer to

Section 5.8

.

If an invalid password is entered, the terminal beeps and the
cursor returns to the beginning of the password entry field.

Entering a valid password causes the associated access level
to display at the bottom of the screen and the Main Menu
screen to display.

If no activity occurs for several minutes, the Password screen
displays and the session ends.

NOTE

Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the product to verify
which screens are supported in each of the three available
switching modes.
