Overview
1-2 Introduction
• Assign ports to operate in the standard or full duplex mode.
• Configure ports to perform load sharing using SmartTrunking. Refer to the SmartTrunk User’s
Guide for details.
• Control the number of receive broadcasts that are switched to the other interfaces.
• Set flow control on a port-by-port basis.
• Configure ports to prioritize incoming frames at Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4.
• Clear NVRAM.
• Set 802.1Q VLAN memberships and port configurations.
• Redirect frames according to port or VLAN and transmit them on a preselected destination port.
• Create a separate Spanning Tree topology for each VLAN configured in the switch module.
• Transmit frames on preselected destination ports according to protocol and priority or protocol
and VLAN.
• Configure the switch to operate as a Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) module to
dynamically create VLANs across a switched network.
• Configure the module to control the rate of network traffic entering and leaving the switch on a
per port/priority basis.
• Configure an optional HSIM or VHSIM installed in the device.
• Configure the module to dynamically switch frames according to a characteristic rule and
VLAN.
• Configure ports on the switch module as Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ports.
• Provide additional security and policy administration capabilities via Port-based Web
Authentication (PWA) by configuring pertinent variables within the LM screen.
• Configure multiple ports to act in an 802.3ad trunk group.
• Configure and manage the use of 802.1w, a standards-based method to rapidly fail over links to
reduce downtime on a network.
• Provide additional security by configuring a physical port to lock on an attached device
according to a Classification rule so no other device can be connected to that port and used.
There are three ways to access Local Management:
• Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port.
• Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem.
• In-band through a Telnet connection.
