Cabletron Systems Local Management is a management tool that allows a network manager to 
perform the following tasks:

Configure interconnected devices to form a network.

Monitor the performance of the network.

Control user access to the network and its components for the purpose of security.

The management agent is a process within the CSX400 that collects information about the 
operational performance of the managed network. Local Management communicates with the 
management agent for the purpose of issuing management commands to network devices.

Network management applications are usually described as either local or remote management 
applications. A Local Management application resides within the circuits of the CSX400 
management agent and is accessible by making a TELNET connection through one of the two 
EPIM ports located on the front panel of the device. Remote management applications such as 
Cabletron Systems SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM Element Manager, or QuickSET run in another 
device that provides management services. This allows you to perform network management from 
a remote location.

If you have a WPIM-HDSL installed in your CSX400, refer to the WAN Setup section of 
this chapter for configuration information. For all other WPIMs, refer to your specific 
WPIM(s) Local Management Guide for information on this screen
