[GLLUG] The old Switcharoo

[Melson, Paul]

Cabletron was purchased by Enterasys a while ago.  Perhaps this manual is what you're looking for:

I've not done much with Cabletron hardware, but I remember that it has its own SNMP/RMON management software.  I don't know if there are published MIBs for plugging into OpenView, Tivoli, MRTG, etc.
 
Good luck!

	So i recently went down to u of m salvage and picked up a rackmount piece of machinery that was rattling and assumed broken.  I purchased it for rather cheap and when i took it home all i needed to do was pop the memory back in and reseat the cpu (looked like it had been dropped possibly). Well to make a long story short, its a Cabletron Smartswitch 2200 24 port 10baseTX switch with 2 fiber ports on it.  It seems to be working completely now according to the LanView leds but i cant seem to get into its local management.  If anyone has any experience with these cabletrons this is an official cry for help.  Im not sure if it has an ip or how to even give it one, i tried dhcp somewhat.  But i am unable to get into the local management to get the switch working to its full potential. Anyone have any advice? the cabletron manual doesn't help much and its hard to find websites about it. thank you.
