• Control access to the 2H22-08R by establishing Community Names
• Download a new image of operating software

traps from the 2H22-08R
• View switch, interface, and RMON statistics
• Assign ports to operate in Auto-Negotiate, standard or full duplex
mode
• Perform load sharing by SmartTrunking ports
• Configure optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules of the 2H22-08R
• Clear NVRAM, allows user-entered parameters such as an IP address
