Local Management: Overview,
Setup, and Navigation
This guide explains how to set up a management terminal to access 9X5XX-series
Local Management, and how to use the Local Management Screens and
commands.
Overview
Local Management for the 9X5XX-series modules consists of a series of
Management Screens that allows the management of the modules, the attached
segments, and the chassis. The Management Screens allow users to perform the
following tasks:
• Manage any interface module in the chassis via a connection to a single
interface module.
• Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to the modules and the chassis.
• Control access to the modules and the chassis by establishing community
names.
• Download a new image of operating software.
• Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP traps
from the modules and chassis.
• Monitor the environmental status of the chassis.
• View switch, interface, and RMON statistics.
• Assign ports to operate in standard or full duplex mode.
• Configure ports to perform load sharing using SmartTrunking. Refer to the
Cabletron Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide for details.

The 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24, and 9H539-24
Modules
Each module is a 24-port switching module:
• 9H532-24 – 24 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports (RJ45 connectors)
• 9H533-24 – 24 10/100 Ethernet ports (two RJ21 Telco connectors)
• 9H531-24 – 24 100Base-FX ports, multimode fiber (mini MTRJ transceivers)
• 9H539-24 – 24 100Base-FX single mode fiber ports via mini MTRJ transceivers
Each module can operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode. 100Base-FX
supports 100 Mbps speed at both half and full duplex.
Auto-negotiation (available only with the 9H532-24 and 9H533-24 modules)
provides support for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds at both half and full duplex.
This feature allows the module to automatically use the fastest rate supported by
the device at the other end (either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps at either half or full
duplex). To negotiate duplex, both the 9H532-24/9H533-24 and the attached
device must be configured for auto-n egotiation. If on ly the 9H532-2 4/9H533-2 4 is
configured for auto-negotiation, the modul e will set the c onnection to half duplex
at either the 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps rate. This techno logy is simil ar to h ow modems
negotiate transmission speed, finding the highest transmission rate possible.
Similarly, auto-negotiation determines the highest common speed between two
devices and communicates at that speed. If no common speed is detected, the
device will be partitioned.

Subnet Mask (Modifiable)
This field contains the subnet mask for the selected module. A subnet mask
“masks out” the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1
when the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the
network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies the
host. The default subnet mask uses the first two portions of the IP address to
identify the network id, leaving the rest of the IP address to identify specific
nodes. To enter a new subnet mask, highlight the field and enter a new value
using dotted decimal notation (4 decimal values between 1 and 255 separated by
periods) as follows:
255.255.255.255
(The Subn et Mask field defaults to the natural mask value, based on the IP
address that was entered for the device.)
Default Gateway (Modifiable)
This field contains the IP address of the device to which all packets addressed to
an unknown network or host are sent. If a Default Gateway is not configur ed, any
packets that are addressed to an unknown network or host will be dropped. This
field is not defined until a user enters an appropriate value using dotted decimal
notation (4 decimal values between 1 and 255 separated by periods).
Default Interface (Toggle)
This field contains the number that represents the interface that is connected to
the module’s Default Gateway. In some instances, dissimilar modules have
different corresponding interface numbers. For example, if a user is assigning a
default interface to a 9T122-24 module and enters a 3, then the default interface is
the Flexible Network Bus. However, if a user is assigning a default interface to a
9F310-02 module and enters a 3, then the default interfac e is the Internal Net work
Bus. The default is NONE, meaning no default interface selected.
Base MAC Address
This field displays the MAC Address of the selected module. This is the MAC
Address of the SMB-10 interface.
TFTP Gateway IP (Modifiable)
This field displays the IP address of the router that connects to or is closest to the
module. Configure this address when a user is performing TFTP downloads in a
routed environment (if proxy ARP is disabled on the router).
The Default Interface field becomes active after a user enters an IP address in the
Default Gateway field .

Full Duplex Flow Control (Selectable)
Used to set the flow control feature on each port for a specific mode. The choices
are:
• Symmetric – the port will operate in Symmetric mode, causing the port to
interpret receiv ed P AUSE frames and al low the port to transmit P AUSE frames
when necessary, for any speed connection.
• Asymmetric Rx – the port will operate in Asymmetric Rx mode, causing the
port to interpret received PAUSE frames and disallows the port to transmit
PAUSE frames. This option is for Gigabit only.
• Asymmetric Tx – the port will operate in Asymmetric Tx mode, causing the
port to ignore PAUSE frames and allows the port to transmit PAUSE frames
when necessary. This option is for Gigabit only.
This feature is not applicable to the 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 modules.

Port Redirect Configuration Screen
The Port Redirect Configuration Scr een, Fig ur e 21, allows a user to set each one of
the ports as a source or destination port. A user can set a port to have one or more
destination ports. For example, a user can set port 1 as a source port with three
destinations: ports 2, 3, and 4. Traffic from port 1 is then automatically redirected
to ports 2, 3, and 4. Port 1 can also serve as a destination port for other ports.
There can be more than one Port Redirect Function Screen depending on the
number of port redirect entries. Each screen displays up to 7 port redirect entries.
If there is more than one screen of redirect entries, the NEXT and/or PREVIOUS
command is displayed at the bottom of the screen, w hich allows a user to
navigate to either the next or previous screen.
For example, with three screens of entries, the NEXT command displays at the
bottom of the first screen. In the second screen, the NEXT and PREVIOUS
commands are displayed. In the last screen, only the PREVIOUS command is
displayed.

VLAN Redirect Configuration Screen
The VLAN Redirect Configuration Screen, Figure 22, allows a user to select a
source module and VLAN ID and a destination module and port as w ell as add a
new VLAN Redirect or delete an existing one. For example, VLAN ID 1 can be set
as the source VLAN ID with port 2 as the destination port. Traffic from VLAN 1 is
then automatically redirected to port 2 according to the Frame Format setting for
that source VLAN. The Frame Format setting determines the format in which the
frames received belonging to the source VLAN are redirected to the destination
port. The frames can be forwarded in the frame format as received, tagged, or
untagged.
The VLAN redirect function is very useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it
allows traffic associated with a particular VLAN to be sent to a particular port
where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current traffic from the
source VLAN can be examined.
Figure 22. VLAN Redirect Configuration Screen
Although traffic associated with a particular VLAN is sent to the destination
port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.

Port Assignment Configuration Screen Fields
The following information briefly explains each Port Assignment Configuration
Screen field.
Port Mode (Selectable)
This field can be one of the following:
• 1Q Trunk - This mode sets the port to transmit all frames with a Tag Header
included in the frame, excluding BPDUs, and a forwarding list that includes all
VLANs. The primary purpose of 1Q Trunk mode is to directly connect the
switch to other 802.1Q aware switches. The Forwarding list is modifiable to
deny access to backbone connections for certain VLAN(s).
• 1D Trunk - This mode sets the port to transmit all frames without a tag header
and a forwarding list that includes all VLANs. The primary purpose of 1D
Trunk mode is to connect the switch to a legacy 802.1D switch fabric or allow
multiple VLANs to share services while still con tainin g their unknown t raf fi c.
The forwarding list is modi fiable to deny access to certain VLAN( s). The PVID
is the default VLAN and, if the switch is configur ed to Forward Def ault VLAN
Out All Ports, allows incoming frames to be forwarded out all ports and for any
response to be able to reach the original source.
• Hybrid (default) - This mode has a PVID of the Default VLAN and a
Forwarding list of the Default VLAN. Any change of the PVID results in the
removal of the pr evious PVID from the forwar ding list and replacing it with the
new PVID. There is one exception - if the switch is configured to Forward
Default VLAN Out All Ports, then the Default PVID remains on the
Forwarding List. The Forwarding li st always has a f rame ty pe of untagged for
the entry that matches the PVID.
VLAN ID (Toggle)
This field toggles through all configured VLANs. Selection of a VLAN sets the
port’s PVID and also places an entry in the forwarding list for that VLAN with a
frame type as untagged. All untagged frames received on the port will be
classified into the selected VLAN. The default PVID is the Default VLAN.
VLAN Name (Read-only)
This field displays the name of the VLAN.
Next/Previous (Commands)
When the screen display is full, these commands change the ports displayed on
the screen for the selected module.
