CONFIGURING
You can configure your FE Switch Modules using the following tools:
•
Local Console Manager (LCM), which lets you monitor, manage, and
configure your ATX through an out-of-band RS-232 connection
configure your ATX through an out-of-band RS-232 connection
•

You can configure the following attributes using Local Console Manager:
•
Port’s IP address for originating and receiving IP packets
•
Alarm thresholds for hardware errors
•
Enabling/disabling a port’s Transparent Spanning Tree, Source
Routing, or Source Routing Transparent bridge mode

instructions):
•
Parameters for diagnostic loopback testing of a port
•
Protocol translations
Filtering normally occurs as part of the Transparent Spanning Tree and
Source Routing algorithms. In addition, you can establish configurable
criteria for filtering, to allow greater management control for security or
network congestion reasons. All configured filtering criteria are
maintained in non-volatile memory and are saved across power cycles.
Filtering information is covered in the ATX User Guide.
