1-2 Using the SEHI User’s Guide
Using the SEHI User’s Guide
Your SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the
SEHI100TX-22 consists of a number of different applications, each of which
provides a portion of the overall management functionality. Each of these
applications can be accessed from the icon menu (if you are using a management
platform) and from the command line (if you are running in stand-alone mode);
in addition, several applications can also be accessed from within the Hub View, a
graphical display of the SEHI and its ports.
The SEHI UserÕs Guide describes how to use many of the applications included
with the module; note that the instructions provided in this guide apply to the
SEHI100TX regardless of the operating system or management platform you are
using. Instructions for launching each individual function from the command line
(stand-alone mode) are also included in each chapter.
Following is a description of the applications described in this guide; while we
provide as much background information as we can, we do assume that youÕre
familiar with Ethernet networks and general network management concepts:
¥ Chapter 1, Introduction to SPMA for the SEHI100TX-22 , describes the
SEHI 100 TX-22 UserÕs Guide and the conventions used in this and other
SPMA manuals, explains where to Þnd information about the SEHI100TX, and
tells you how to contact Cabletron Systems Global Call Center.
¥ Chapter 2, Using the SEHI100TX Hub View , describes the visual display of
the Hub and explains how to use the mouse within the Hub View. The
operation of some basic functions available only from within the Hub View
(changing the Hub View display, opening menus and windows, enabling and
disabling ports, checking device and port status, and so on) are also described.
¥ Chapter 3, Link/Seg Traps , describes how to conÞgure link and segmentation
traps to suit your management needs. You can access the Link/Seg Traps
application from the icon menu, the Hub View, or the command line.
¥ Chapter 4, Redundancy , describes how to conÞgure redundant circuits to keep
your network connections up and running in the event of a single portÕs
failure. You can access the Redundancy application from the icon menu, the
Hub View, or the command line.
¥ Appendix A, SEHI100TX MIB Components , lists the IETF MIBs supported by
the SEHI100TX, and describes their arrangement in a series of MIB
components. A description of the objects controlled by each component is also
included.
