6H128-08 and 6H129-08 User’s Guide 5-43
In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the 6 fiber ports and the 2 optional
Interface Module ports are bridged to each other.
In 802.1Q SWITCHING mode, the 6H12X-08 is able to increase its
switching functionality by creating and maintaining IEEE port based
VLANs.
When the operational mode is set to SECURE FAST VLAN, the
6H12X-08 acts as SecureFast switch. With the Cabletron Systems VLAN
Manager software, the 6H12X-08 is able to increase its switching
functionality by creating and maintaining Virtual LANs (VLANs).
For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.15.9.
Management Mode (Toggle)
This field toggles between DISTRIBUTED and STAND ALONE.
In DISTRIBUTED mode, Local Management is entered via the 6C105
password screen, and all chassis configuration screens are available to the
user. All other modules installed in the chassis that are set for distributed
management may also be accessed via a connection to a single COM port
on one of the modules. The user can then manage all modules within the
chassis and the chassis itself.
In STAND ALONE mode, the module is isolated from the chassis
configuration screens, and the module may not be accessed from a
module that is in DISTRIBUTED mode. This provides additional security
for any module to which the user may wish to restrict access. Refer to
Section 5.15.10 for details.
Com (Toggle)
This field allows the user to enable or disable the COM port. The
selection toggles between ENABLED and DISABLED. The default is
ENABLED. For details about setting up the COM port, refer to
Section 5.15.11.
NOTE
If the user is establishing a remote connection, such as a Telnet
or SNMP connection, using the IP address of the module, the
chassis LM screens will not be available. To access the chassis
LM screens, the IP address of the chassis must be used to
establish the connection.
