Introduction

Chapter 2, The IRM2 Chassis View, describes the visual display of the IRM2-controlled chassis and explains how to use the mouse within the Chassis View; the operation of several chassis-level management functions — such as changing the chassis display, naming boards, enabling and disabling boards and ports, and setting device date and time — is also described here.

Chapter 3, Statistics, describes the Statistics, Timer Statistics, Summary Statistics, and Performance Graph selections available at the repeater, board, and port levels. Each of these selections provides a slightly different view of the network information being collected by your IRM2.

Chapter 4, Source Address Functions, describes how to display the Source Address lists, how to set the ageing time, and how to locate the port being used by a specific source address; it also discusses the effects of port locking.

Chapter 5, Alarm Limits, provides instructions on setting Alarm Limits for the repeater, or for an individual board or port.

Chapter 6, Trap Selection, details how to use the Trap Selection window to determine whether your IRM2 will send certain common SNMP traps to your Enterasys management station.

Chapter 7, Redundancy, describes how to configure redundant circuits for your IRM2 repeater, to ensure that vital network connections remain open and active.

We assume that you have a general working knowledge of Ethernet IEEE 802.3- and FDDI-type data communications networks and their physical layer components, and that you are familiar with general bridging concepts.
