AsantéHub 2072 Network Management Module Installation Guide

Segment Control The AsantéHub 2072 and NetStacker hub provide two discrete network segment interconnections.That is, any AsantéHub 2072 or NetStacker module, including the AH2072 NMM, can be con- nected to Segment 1, Segment 2, or neither segment (isolated). Segment connection assignment for any module can be done through NMM front panel controls or with AsantéView software.

The NMM has two push-button Segment Controls: the Select Slot and Change Segment buttons, which are located on the right of the front panel. Figure 26 shows the location of these buttons.

See the AsantéView documentation for segment control proce- dures using AsantéView.

You may want to divide your network into two separate, distinct backbones, so that traffic from one network does not interfere with traffic or cause traffic congestion on your other network. For example, in a campus-like environment, you may have two com- pletely different networks (two separate backbones) independent of each other.

Continuing with this example, Network A is an administration/fac- ulty network and Network B is a student-operated network.The student network is primarily used for network lab testing, which can be highly vulnerable to periodic downtime.

However, Network A, which is solely operated by university administration and faculty members, primarily uses its network for record keeping and administrative tasks, and therefore, must operate smoothly without any unnecessary student interference from Network B.To keep the two segments isolated from each other, the network manager can use Segment Control.
