Cabletron Systems 6E122-26 User Manual

Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management 
application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action 
from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user 
has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’s Local 
Management screens. In this example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no 
input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management 
application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password 
screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to

Module Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time that the module has been operating.

Operational Mode (Modifiable)

This field allows the user to set the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 to operate as 
a traditional switch (802.1D SWITCHING option), an IEEE 802.1Q 
switch (802.1Q SWITCHING option), or as a Cabletron Systems 
SecureFast switch (SECURE FAST VLAN option).

In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the 24 ports located on the front panel, 
and each Fast Ethernet Interface Module, and HSIM port(s) are bridged to 
each other.

In 802.1Q SWITCHING mode, the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 are able to 
increase their switching functionality by creating and maintaining IEEE 
port based VLANs.

When the operational mode is set to SECURE FAST VLAN, the 
6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 act as SecureFast switches. With the Cabletron 
Systems VLAN Manager software, the modules are able to increase their 
switching functionality by creating and maintaining Virtual LANs 
(VLANs).
