5.4.1 Navigating Local Management Screens
The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 Local Management application consists of
a series of menu screens. Navigate through Local Management by
selecting items from the menu screens.
The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 support three modes of switch operation.
The switching modes are as follows:
• 802.1D SWITCHING, (traditional 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 5-7 , and Figure 5-8 . Refer to the appropriate figure
that relates to the Operational Mode that will be set for the module to see
the applicable Local Management screen hierarchy.
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 accorded that community name. Refer to
Section 5.8 .
NOTE
Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the product to verify
which screens are supported in each of the three available
switching modes.
