Chapter 1: Introduction 1.4.1 The Management Agent The management agent is a process within the ESXMIM which collects statistical information (e.g., frames received, errors detected) about the managed network’s operational performance. Local Management communicates with the management agent for the purpose of viewing statistics or issuing management commands. 1.4.2 In-Band vs. Out-of-Band Network management systems are often classified as either in-band or out-of-band.
Local Management Requirements 1.5 LOCAL MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS The ESXMIM provides two communication ports, labeled COM 1 and COM 2, that support a management terminal connection.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.6 LOCAL MANAGEMENT SCREEN ELEMENTS Local Management screens consist of five basic elements, or fields. Figure 1-1 shows a Local Management screen and points out the various types of fields. EVENT MESSAGE FIELD DISPLAY FIELDS INPUT FIELDS SELECTION FIELDS SAVED OK ESXMIM Local Management Flash Image Version XX.XX.XX SYSTEM LEVEL System Date: 01/23/96 Host IP Address Subnet Mask Phys Address COM 1 Application: COM 2 Application: System Time: 14:23:00 000.000.000.000 255.255.
Local Management Screen Elements The following list explains each of the Local Management fields: Event Message Field This field briefly displays messages that indicate if a Local Management procedure was executed correctly or incorrectly, that changes were saved or not saved to Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM), or that a user did not have access privileges to an application. Table 1-1 describes the most common event messages.
Chapter 1: Introduction Command Fields Command fields are located at the bottom of Local Management screens. Command fields are used to exit Local Management screens and to save Local Management entries. 1.7 LOCAL MANAGEMENT KEYBOARD CONVENTIONS All key names appear in this manual as capital letters. For example, the Enter key appears as ENTER, the Escape Key appears as ESC, and the Backspace Key appears as BACKSPACE.
Navigating Local Management Screens Table 1-2 Keyboard Conventions (Continued) Arrows These are navigation keys. Use the UP-ARROW, DOWN-ARRROW, LEFT-ARROW, and RIGHT-ARROW keys to move the screen cursor. For example, “Use the arrow keys” means to press whichever arrow key moves the cursor to the desired field on the Local Management screen. [+/=] This key increments values in some Local Management selection fields. For example, “Press [+/=]” means to press the plus/equal key.

CHAPTER 2 LOCAL MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS This chapter describes how to attach a Local Management terminal to the Cabletron Systems host device, and lists the setup and configuration requirements for the following equipment: • Console/terminal • Console cable • Console cable connections 2.1 CONFIGURING A LOCAL MANAGEMENT TERMINAL The following instructions explain how to configure your management terminal (console) to communicate with Local Management.
Chapter 2: Local Management Requirements 2.2 MANAGEMENT TERMINAL SETUP REQUIREMENTS Table 2-1 lists the setup parameters for the management terminal. If the management terminal is a Digital Equipment Corporation VT320 or VT220 terminal, press F3 to access the Setup Directory. If the management terminal uses terminal emulation of the VT320, refer to the equipment user manual for setup procedures.
Management Terminal Setup Requirements 2.2.1 Cable Configuration for the Management Terminal This section outlines the proper cable configurations to connect a management terminal to the ESXMIM. You need an adapter kit containing the following items to connect a terminal to the ESXMIM: • One RS232 cable • One VT series adapter • One device cable The adapter you use depends on whether you connect a VT320 or VT 220 terminal or a PC emulating a VT320 or VT220 to an ESXMIM COM port.
Chapter 2: Local Management Requirements 2.3 ESTABLISHING A TELNET CONNECTION Once the ESXMIM has a valid IP address, you can establish a Telnet session with Local Management from any TCP/IP based node on the network. Telnet connections to the host device require the community name passwords assigned at the SNMP Community Names screen. Refer to Chapter 5, The SNMP Community Names Screen, for additional information about community names.
CHAPTER 3 ACCESSING LOCAL MANAGEMENT This chapter explains how to access and use the Local Management menu screens. Menu screens provide a path to the setup screens, statistic screens, and status screens. 3.1 USING THE MENU SCREENS Verify that your terminal has been properly connected to the ESXMIM before proceeding. To access Local Management, perform the following steps: 1. Power on the terminal. The ESXMIM Password screen, Figure 3-1, appears.

Event Message Line Welcome to Cabletron ESXMIM Revision XX.XX.
Chapter 12: The MIB Navigator Screen 12.1 MANAGING DEVICE MIBS The MIB Navigator lets you manage objects in the ESXMIM’s Management Information Bases (MIBs). MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device and determining the ESXMIM’s configuration. The commands within the MIB Navigator allow you to view and modify a device’s objects. The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory. Figure 12-2 shows the MIB tree hierarchy.
MIB Navigator Command Set Overview 12.2 MIB NAVIGATOR COMMAND SET OVERVIEW The MIB Navigator command set provides the following commands: Navigation Commands Navigation commands allow you to access and manage the MIB for the device running the MIB Navigator. Some of these commands also provide user community-string information.
