Enterasys 6h302-48 Benutzerhandbuch

The SmartSwitch 6000 chassis can be viewed as a single entity with a single IP address. Its 
systems management functions are distributed to all modules, including the 6H302-48 or 
6H303-48. The chassis can be managed using a single IP address, or the modules can be managed 
separately by individual IP addresses. When the IP address of the chassis is used, system wide 
settings can be applied from the chassis menu in Local Management, while module settings are 
applied by selecting the specific module to be modified and changing the settings for that module. 

Management of the module can be either in-band or out-of-band. In-band remote management is 
possible through any SNMP-compliant Network Management Software, such as Enterasys 
Networks’ NetSight. In-band management using Telnet and Enterasys Networks’ Webview is also 
provided. Out-of-band Local Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port on the front 
panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. 

Local Management provides the ability to manage the module. Refer to the Matrix E7 Series and 
SmartSwitch 6000 Series Local Management User’s Guide for more information. 

The module provides 802.1Q switching between all of the front panel interfaces. In the 802.1Q 
mode (the default mode of operation), the module functions as an 802.1D switch until VLANs are 
configured.

IEEE 802.1Q switching allows migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the 
replacement of existing equipment.
