Distributed Chassis Management
Introduction 1-7
1.12 DISTRIBUTED CHASSIS MANAGEMENT
Installation in the 6C107 MATRIX E7 Chassis
From a management perspective, 6x3xx modules in the MATRIX E7 chassis can be managed
separately by individual IP addresses. Any modules in the MATRIX E7 can be selected and
managed, however, no overall system wide settings are available.
Installation in the 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 Chassis
The 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis can be viewed as a single entity with a single IP address. Its
systems management functions are distributed to all modules, including the module. The chassis
can be managed using a single IP address, or the modules can be managed separately by individual
IP addresses. When the IP address of the chassis is used, system wide settings can be done from
the chassis menu in Local Management, while module settings are done by selecting the specific
module to be modified and changing the settings for that module.
1.13 MANAGEMENT
Management of the module can be either in-band or out-of-band. In-band remote management is
possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software, such as Enterasys
Networks’ Webview. Out-of-band Local Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port on
the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.
Local Management, described in a separate Enterasys Networks document, provides the ability to
manage the module. Refer to the MATRIX E7 Series and SmartSwitch 6000 Series Modules Local
Management User’s Guide for more information.
NOTE: The MATRIX E7 chassis does not allow Distributed Chassis Management
functionality as in the 6C105 chassis. Refer to the Enterasys Networks MATRIX E7
Overview and Setup Guide for more information.
