Management Options

The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 switch is manageable with the following methods:

●HTTP-based device-manager GUI

●SNMP-based management applications

●Cisco IOS Software CLI

The embedded device manager on the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 provides a GUI to configure and monitor the switch through a Web browser. This scenario requires using either in- band or out-of-band management and enabling the HTTP or HTTPS server on the switch. The HTTP server and SSL are enabled by default.

SNMP-compatible management utilities are supported through a comprehensive set of MIB extensions and through four Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups. CiscoWorks 2000 and HP OpenView are two such management applications. SNMP Versions 1, 2, and 3 are available on the switch (Cisco IOS Software Crypto image).

The CLI delivers the standard Cisco IOS Software interface over Telnet or the console port. Cisco recommends that you use the Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol for CLI access.

Note: For more information about the embedded device manager, refer to the online help on the switch CLI. For more information about the management options for the HP c-Class BladeSystem, please visit: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/management.html.

HP c-Class BladeSystem iLO Connectivity

The iLO provides remote-management capabilities and is standard with all c-Class server blades. Remote power, console, and diagnostics are just a few of the advanced functions iLO provides. The HP c-Class BladeSystem provides two methods to access this management interface through its Onboard Administrator. The iLO connection is independent of the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020. The blade-server’s Onboard Administrator located on the back of the enclosure provides access to each of the iLO interfaces through a single Ethernet cable. A redundant Onboard Administrator is also available.

Network Management Recommendations

An OOB network is recommended for managing the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020. OOB management provides an isolated environment for monitoring and configuring the switch. Isolation is achieved by deploying a physically separate management network or by logically separating the traffic with management VLANs.

The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 has 8 external Gigabit Ethernet ports; any of them may be used to support network-monitoring devices and network-management traffic. Using secure protocols, such as SSH or HTTPS, maintains the integrity of communications between the switch and the management station. The console port positioned at the front of the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 is another option for connectivity to the OOB network.

3020 specifications

The NAD 3020 is a classic integrated amplifier that has gained a legendary status among audiophiles since its launch in 1978. Known for its incredible sound quality and value for money, the NAD 3020 has become a reference point in the realm of affordable audio equipment.

One of the main features of the NAD 3020 is its high current design, allowing it to drive a wide range of speaker impedances. This capability ensures that the amplifier can deliver a dynamic sound, characterized by a robust bass response and clear treble. With a power output of 20 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the NAD 3020 is often underestimated due to its modest specifications. However, it can produce remarkable sound pressure levels and handle transient peaks with ease.

The amplifier utilizes a simplified circuit design, which is one of its defining characteristics. This minimalist approach reduces potential signal distortion, enabling the amplifier to maintain sonic integrity. The use of discrete components rather than integrated circuits contributes to its rich, detailed audio reproduction, making it a favorite among purists.

Another key technology featured in the NAD 3020 is its unique power supply design. NAD engineers incorporated a toroidal transformer, which is known for its compact size and low electromagnetic interference. This results in cleaner power delivery, which is essential for maintaining audio clarity and depth.

The NAD 3020 is also equipped with multiple inputs, including phono, line-level, and tape inputs, making it versatile for various audio sources. The built-in phono stage supports moving magnet cartridges, allowing vinyl enthusiasts to connect their turntables directly to the amplifier without needing a separate phono preamplifier.

In terms of build quality, the NAD 3020 features a sturdy chassis that minimizes vibrations, ensuring that audio performance remains stable. The user-friendly design includes a straightforward control layout, allowing users to adjust volume and tone settings with ease.

Throughout its decades-long legacy, the NAD 3020 has influenced countless audio products and remains a benchmark for entry-level amplification. Its combination of power, clarity, and affordability makes it a beloved choice for both new listeners and seasoned audiophiles seeking a dependable amplifier that doesn't compromise on sound quality. The NAD 3020 exemplifies how great engineering can lead to remarkable audio experiences, solidifying its place in the history of hi-fi audio.
