VHSIM-G6 User’s Guide 4-1

CHAPTER 4

LOCAL MANAGEMENT

This chapter provides information about using Local Management with

the VHSIM-G6. Since the VHSIM-G6 is a Gigabit Ethernet device, the

Local Management screens used for conﬁguration and statistics are the

same as those of the host platform.

4.1 REQUIREMENTS

Make sure that the following requirements have been met before

accessing the VHSIM-G6 through Local Management:

• The VHSIM-G6 is installed in the host platform.

• The device is powered up and running with no error LED conditions.

• A Local Management terminal is properly conﬁgured and connected

to the host platform. Refer to the host platform user’s guide to establish

a Local Management connection.

4.2 GIGABIT PORT MODE

Local Management Network Tools can be used to change the status of the

Gigabit Port Mode. Either both ports can be enabled at the same time, or

GPIM port 1 can be active and port 2 can be set up as redundant. Use the

Network Tool gigabit_port_mode for this process. Refer to the Local

Management documents for details on this process.

NOTE

The host platform is the interface module or standalone device

in which the VHSIM-G6 is installed.

Important

The Local Management screens are the ones used by the host platform

for both conﬁguration and statistics. These screens will not be repeated in

this manual. Refer to the host platform user’s guide for detailed

explanations of the information that is accessed in the Local Management

screens. Refer to Section 1.4 for information on how to obtain host

platform manuals for the Local Management information.
