5.4.1 Navigating Local Management Screens
The 2E4X-27R Local Management application consists of a series of
menu screens. Navigate through Local Management by selecting items
from the menu screens.
The 2E4X-27R support three modes of switch operation. The switching
modes are as follows:
802.1D SWITCHING (IEEE 802.1D switching)
802.1Q SWITCHING (IEEE 802.1Q port based VLANs)
SECURE FAST VLAN (Cabletron Systems SecureFast switching)
The switch operational mode is set in the General Configuration screen
(Section 5.7). Depending on the Operational Mode set for the device, the
hierarchy of the Local Management screens differs as shown in
Figure 5-4, Figure 5-5 and Figure 5-6. Refer to the appropriate figure that
relates to the Operational Mode set for the device 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.
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 Device Menu
screen to display.
If no activity occurs for several minutes, the Local Management
Password screen redisplays and the password has to be
reentered.
NOTE
Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the product to verify
which screens are supported in each of the three available
switching modes.
