2M46-04R/2M46-04RDC User’s Guide
Device Uptime (Read-Only)
Displays the total time that the device has been operating.
Operational Mode (Modifiable)
This field allows the user to set the 2M46-04R to operate as a traditional
switch (802.1D SWITCHING), an IEEE 802.1Q switch (802.1Q
SWITCHING), or as a Cabletron Systems SecureFast switch (SECURE
FAST VLAN).
In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the Fast Ethernet Interface Module(s),
and HSIM port(s) are bridged to each other.
In 802.1Q SWITCHING mode, the 2M46-04R acts as a IEEE 802.1Q
switch which allows the creation of port-based VLANs.
When the operational mode is set to SECURE FAST VLAN, the
2M46-04R acts as a SecureFast switch. The 2M46-04R is able to increase
its switching functionality by creating and maintaining Virtual LANs
(VLANs).
