MONITORING AND MANAGING
YOUR ELS10-26
Monitoring the ELS10-26 consists of collecting and analyzing
statistics and system status information.
You can use the Select button on the front panel of the ELS10-26 to
monitor segment status on any of the Ethernet ports. Refer to
Section 2.1 for a description of the segment status options.
Basic management of the ELS10-26 consists of disabling or
enabling Ethernet ports, changing subnet masks, setting the
community name for the ELS10-26, and changing the baud rate for
your Local Console Manager (LCM) connection.
4.1 ELS10-26 MANAGEMENT TOOLS
LCM is a command-line interface built into the ELS10-26 that
enables you to monitor and manage the ELS10-26 through the out-
of-band RS232C connection attached to any non-intelligent
terminal. You can also use one of the following Cabletron Systems
Network Management Stations (NMSs), or a standard SNMP-
based NMS to manage the ELS10-26:
• SPECTRUM
• SPMA
• SPEL
• Any SNMP-based NMS
4.2 ELS10-26 STATISTICS
The ELS10-26 gathers statistics that can help you build a
comprehensive profile of the network traffic flow between each
Local Area Network (LAN) you are connecting, as well as the
network traffic flow between each Ethernet port on the ELS10-26.
