Operation

An equally important SecureFast Virtual Networking feature is a broadcast interception service which resolves issues such as security, broadcasts, multi-casts and network ﬂooding. Broadcast interception allows customers to cost-effectively control broadcast trafﬁc in a switched network without requiring a router.

i960 Core

The i960 core provides the SNMP protocol stacks, to support industry standard MIBs. Additionally, Cabletron enterprise extension MIBs are supported for each media type. Advanced management services, such as the Distributed LAN Monitor, telnet and network address to MAC address mapping, are also provided by the i960 core.

The host engine sends and receives packets via the CPU SmartSwitch ASIC Interface. This method allows the traditional switch to perform spanning tree protocol and other traditional switching functions. The SMB Interfaces provide communication to the Host Engine for management functions and communication with other modules in the chassis.
