This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to access

screens and commands.
5.1 OVERVIEW
Local Management for the 2M46-04R consists of a series of screens that
allow the management of the 2M46-04R. The screens allow the user to do
the following tasks:
• Assign IP address and subnet mask
• Select a default gateway
• Control access by establishing community names
• Download a new operation software image
• Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP
traps from the device
• View statistics
• Configure ports
• Control the number of receive broadcasts that are switched out to the
other interfaces
There are three ways to access Local Management:
• Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port
• Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem
• In-band through a Telnet connection
NOTE
If you have an HSIM-W6 or HSIM-W84 installed in your
2M46-04R, their Local Management screens can only be
accessed via their respective ASYNC ports. See the
associated HSIM user’s guides for more details.
