DLEHF-MA User’s Guide
Module Uptime (Read-Only)
Displays the total time that the module has been operating.
Operational Mode (Modifiable)
This field allows the user to set the DLEHF-MA to operate as a traditional
switch (802.1D SWITCHING) or an IEEE 802.1Q switch (802.1Q
SWITCHING).
In 802.1D Switching mode, the Fast Ethernet Interface Module(s), and
HSIM port(s) are bridged to each other. In 802.1Q Switching mode, the
DLEHF-MA acts as an IEEE 802.1Q switch, which allows the creation of
port-based VLANs. For details on how to select the Operational Mode,
refer to Section 5.15.9.
Management Mode (Toggle)
This field toggles between DISTRIBUTED and STAND ALONE. The
default field is DISTRIBUTED.
In DISTRIBUTED mode, Local Management is entered via the
DLM6C-AA password screen, and all chassis configuration screens are
available to the user. All other modules installed in the chassis that are set
for distributed management may also be accessed via a connection to a
single COM port on one of the modules. The user can then manage all
modules within the chassis and the chassis itself.
In STAND ALONE mode, the module is isolated from the chassis
configuration screens, and the module may not be accessed from a
module that is in DISTRIBUTED mode. This provides additional security
for any module to which the user may wish to restrict access.
For details on how to select the Management Mode, refer to
Section 5.15.10.
Com (Modifiable)
This field allows the user to enable or disable the COM port. The
selection toggles between ENABLED and DISABLED. The default is
If the user is establishing a remote connection (i.e., Telnet or
SNMP) using the IP address of the module, the chassis LM
screens will not be available. The LM screens for all other
modules will also be inaccessible. To access ALL local
management screens, the IP address of the chassis must be
used to establish the connection.
