Introduction Duplex Mode Through Local Management, each port on the 9E531-24 can be configured to support either full or half duplex mode of operation. Runtime IP Address Discovery This feature enables the modules to automatically accept an IP address from a Boot Strap Protocol (BootP) server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local Management. When the modules are connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) check

Introduction Management Management of the 9E531-24 module and SmartSwitch chassis and any optional equipment is accomplished using the Local Management application or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the Environmental Module using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through Webview or any SNMP compliant Network Manage
