party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables
aux appareils numériques de la class A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique

precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. Caution: Users should not attempt to make
such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or
electrician, as appropriate.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement
that the sum of the ringer equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

Local Management: Overview,
Setup, and Navigation
This guide explains how to set up a management terminal to access 9X5XX-series
Local Management, and how to use the Local Management Screens and
commands.
Overview
Local Management for the 9X5XX-series modules consists of a series of
Management Screens that allows the management of the modules, the attached
segments, and the chassis. The Management Screens allow users to perform the
following tasks:
Manage any interface module in the chassis via a connection to a single
interface module.
Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to the modules and the chassis.
Control access to the modules and the chassis by establishing community
names.
Download a new image of operating software.
Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP traps
from the modules and chassis.
Monitor the environmental status of the chassis.
View switch, interface, and RMON statistics.
Assign ports to operate in standard or full duplex mode.
Configure ports to perform load sharing using SmartTrunking. Refer to the
Cabletron Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide for details.
Configure the HSIM or VHSIM of the 9H53X-17.
Local Management: Overview, Setup, and Navigation
2
Redirect frames from a port or VLAN to another selected port.
Transmit frames on preselected destination ports according to protocol and
priority, or protocol and VLAN.
Configure the device ports to operate as a Generic Attribute Registration
Protocol (GARP) device to dynamically create VLANs across a switched
network.
There are three ways to access Local Management:
Locally, using a VT-type terminal connected to the COM port of the module.
Remotely, using a VT-type terminal connected through a modem.
In-band, through a Telnet connection.
Local Management Keyboard Conventions
All key names appear as capital letters in this manual. Table 1 explains the
keyboard conventions and the key functions that are used.

Local Management: Overview, Setup, and Navigation
Management Terminal Setup
Use one of the following systems to access Local Management:
An IBM or compatible PC running a VT-series emulation software package
A Digital Equipment Corporation VT100-type terminal
A VT-type terminal running emulation programs for the Digital Equipment
Corporation VT100 series
A remote VT100-type terminal via a modem connection
In-band via a Telnet connection
Console Cable Connection
Use the Console Cable Kit provided with the chassis to attach the management
terminal to the COM port.
Connect an IBM PC or compatible device, running the VT terminal emulation, to
the module as follows:
1. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable (supplied in the kit) to the
COM port on the module.
2. Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the cable into the RJ45-to-DB9
adapter (supplied in the kit).
3. Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 adapter to the PC communications port.
If using a modem between the VT-compatible device and the COM port of the
module, use the appropriate connector included in the management cable kit.
Refer to the modem manufacturer’s information for proper operation and setup of
the modem.

Management Terminal Setup Parameters
Table 2 lists the setup parameters for the local management terminal.
Telnet Connections
Once the module or chassis has a valid IP address, a user can establish a Telnet
session with Local Management from any TCP/IP-based node on the network.
Telnet connections to the modules require the community name passwords
assigned at the SNMP Community Names Screen of either the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis, or the module.
For information about assigning community names, refer to “SNMP Community
Names Screen” on page 29.
