Introduction
single link. All links are user-conÞgurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links. The beneÞts of SmartTrunking include the following:
¥All purchased bandwidth is used.
¥Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance.
¥Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum ßexibility.
For information on SmartTrunk conÞguration, refer to the SmartTrunk UserÕs Guide.
Management
Management of the 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 modules 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 Management Software.
Local Management provides the ability to manage the 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24. Local Management information for non-Ethernet HSIMs or VHSIMs is included in their respective userÕs guide. For details on how to get manuals, refer to the Related Manuals section.
WebView
The 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 modules can be managed using Cabletron WebView, a browser-based utility. There is no software to install as this management capability is built into each module.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
The 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 support all nine Ethernet RMON groups. The Statistics, Alarms, Events and History groups are enabled on all ports by default.
Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-speciÞc extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an ÒActionÓ on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by setting an RMON Event and/or Alarm. An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a broadcast threshold is crossed.
