Features

Quality of Service

Although the XP-2000 supplies non-blocking high-speed throughput, you can configure the XP- 2000 to apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to specific hosts, applications, and flows (source-destination pairs). This is especially useful in networks where the traffic level can exceed the network medium’s capacity.

The XP-2000 QoS is based on four queues: control, high, medium, and low. Control traffic has the highest priority, high the second highest, and so on. The default priority for all traffic is low.

You can configure QoS policies for the following types of traffic:

•Layer-2 prioritization (802.1p)

•Layer-3 source-destination flows

•Layer-4 source-destination flows

•Layer-4 application flows

Statistics

The XP-2000 can provide extensive statistical data on demand. You can access the following types of statistics:

•Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets in, packets out, CRC errors, and so on)

•Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for ICMP, IP, IP-interface, IP routing, IP multicast,

VLAN

•Layer-4 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for TCP and UDP

Management Platforms

You can manage the XP-2000 using the following management platforms:

•Command Line Interface (CLI) – An EMACs editor-like interface that accepts typed commands and responds when applicable with messages or tables. You will use the CLI to perform the basic setup procedures described in Chapter 3 of this guide.

•SNMP MIBs and traps – The XP-2000 supports SNMP v1 and many standard networking MIBs. You can access the XP-2000’s SNMP agent using Enterasys integration software for HP OpenView 5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or Enterasys Spectrum on Solaris 2.x. Chapter 3, Firmware Installation and Setup, in this guide explains how to set up SNMP on the XP-2000.
