About This Guide

Welcome to the Enterasys Networks Matrix E7 Series and SmartSwitch 6000 Series Modules

(6H2xx, 6E2xx, 6H3xx and 6G3xx) Local Managment User’s Guide. This manual explains how

to access and use the Local Management screens to monitor and manage the switch modules, the

attached segments, and the SmartSwitch 6C105 or Matrix E7 6C107 chassis.

When a mix of 6H2xx, 6E2xx, 6H3xx, and 6G3xx modules are installed in the 6C107 chassis, you

must follow the module installation rules provided in the Matrix E7 Chassis Overview and Setup

Guide for proper operation.

USING THIS GUIDE

A general working knowledge of basic network operations and an understanding of management

applications is helpful prior to using Enterasys Networks Local Management.

This manual describes how to do the following:

• Access the Local Management application

• Identify and operate the types of fields used by Local Management

• Navigate through Local Management fields and menus

• Use Local Management screens to perform management operations

• Establish and manage Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)

Important Notices

Depending on the firmware version used in the switch module, some features described in this

document may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the switch module to

determine which features are supported.

There are restrictions on the version of firmware required for 6H302-48 modules with a serial

number starting with 3655xxxxxx. The serial number is visible on the top ejector tab of the switch,

or by querying the PIC MIB. For firmware in the 5.x track, version 5.03.05 or higher must be used

on 6H302-48 modules with a serial number starting with 3655. For the 4.x firmware track, 4.08.41

or higher must be used on 6H302-48 modules with a serial number starting with 3655.
