CHAPTER 5
LOCAL MANAGEMENT
This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to the
2H22-08R, and access the 2H22-08R using its Local Management
screens and commands.
5.1 OVERVIEW
Local Management is a series of management screens that allows you to
configure the 2H22-08R. The management screens allow you to do the
following tasks:
• Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to the 2H22-08R
• Assign a default gateway
• Control access to the 2H22-08R by establishing Community Names
• Download a new image of operating software
• Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP
traps from the 2H22-08R
• View switch, interface, and RMON statistics
• Assign ports to operate in Auto-Negotiate, standard or full duplex
mode
• Perform load sharing by SmartTrunking ports
• Configure optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules of the 2H22-08R
• Clear NVRAM, allows user-entered parameters such as an IP address
or Community Names to be deleted.
There are three ways to access Local Management:
• Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port of the
2H22-08R
• Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem
• In-band through a Telnet connection
