Feature	Description
SNMP	SNMP is supported via the host processor (the
	processor on the SmartStack STS16-20RM).
	This makes it possible to configure the device
	in a standards-based way and as an integrated
	part of the LAN switch.
Can serve multiple	The SmartStack SSIM-H2-02 can serve as
switches in one stack	uplink for multiple LAN switches
	interconnected by a stacker. This reduces the
	cost of connecting a number of LAN switches
	to an Fast Ethernet backbone.
Dual home FEP	A Token-Ring network using SRB can support
	duplicate MAC addresses. This capability has
	been exploited by SNA gateways, which can
	provide a redundant host connection: two
	gateways have the same MAC address but are
	on different rings and due to the source routing
	discovery process the SNA sessions are
	randomly distributed between the two
	gateways. Sessions are established between
	configured MAC addresses.
Protocol filters	The SmartStack SSIM-H2-02 offers the same
	protocol filters as the SmartStack STS16-
	20RM. This makes for consistent protocol
	filtering and thereby reduces the risk of
	network congestion and security breaches.
Broadcast Suppression	On output, the Translational Switch SSIM
	must keep the rate of broadcast frames sent to
	Ethernet within the limit set by the Maximum
	Broadcast Frame Count per Second
	configuration parameter. Broadcasts include:
	- ARE, STE source routed frames
	- unknown destination frames
	- frames with the MAC header broadcast bit set
