CHAPTER 4
MONITORING AND MANAGING
YOUR ELS100-16TX
Monitoring the ELS100-16TX consists of collecting and analyzing
statistics and system status information.
You can use the Select button on the front panel of the ELS100-
16TX to monitor segment status on any of the Ethernet ports. Refer
to Section 2.1 for a description of the segment status options.
Basic management of the ELS100-16TX consists of disabling or
enabling Ethernet ports, changing subnet masks, setting the
community name for the ELS100-16TX, and changing the baud rate
for your Local Console Manager (LCM) connection.
4.1 ELS100-16TX MANAGEMENT TOOLS
LCM is a command-line interface built into the ELS100-16TX that
enables you to monitor and manage the ELS100-16TX through the
out-of-band RS232C connection attached to any non-intelligent
terminal. You can also use one of the following Cabletron Systems
Network Management Stations (NMSs), or a standard SNMP-
based NMS to manage the ELS100-16TX:
• SPECTRUM
• SPMA
• SPEL
• Any SNMP-based NMS
4.2 ELS100-16TX STATISTICS
The ELS100-16TX gathers statistics that can help you build a
comprehensive profile of the network traffic flow between each
Local Area Network (LAN) you are connecting, as well as the
network traffic flow between each Ethernet port on the ELS100-
16TX.
