to do the following tasks:

Select a default gateway.
Control access by establishing community names.
Download a new operation firmware image.
Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP 
traps from the device.
View bridge and port statistics.
Configure switch operations (802.1D, 802.1Q, or SecureFast 
Switching).
Control the number of receive broadcasts that are switched out to the 
other interfaces.
Clear NVRAM.
There are three ways to access Local Management:
Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port of the 
2H23-50R or 2H33-37R.
Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem.
In-band through a Telnet connection.
