RMON Monitoring Applications 15

RMON Monitoring New versions of LANsentry® Manager are being released. You can use

Applications LANsentry Manager to monitor traffic and error rates for hosts on a network, along with traffic flows between these hosts. When you set up LANsentry Manager with the CoreBuilder 9000, take these factors into consideration:

■To access a CoreBuilder 9000 module, use the community string plus extension format as follows:

<community string>@slot_<slot>.<subslot>

 

For switch fabric modules use this format:

 

<community string>@fabric

 

For example, to access a module in slot 4 using the read/write

 

community string of “private”, enter private@slot_4.1

 

■ If you have any problems connecting to the CoreBuilder 9000 using

 

LANsentry Manager, increase the SNMP timeout values.

 

See “Remote Monitoring (RMON)” in Chapter 21”Device Monitoring” of

 

the CoreBuilder 9000 Implementation Guide for more details.

 

 

802.1p CoS

802.1p Class of Service (CoS) focuses on traffic class and dynamic

 

multicast filtering services in bridged LANs. It addresses separate queuing

 

of time-critical frames to reduce the jitter caused by multicast flooding.

 

802.1p uses the same tag format as 802.1Q, but uses three additional

 

bits of the tag control information for setting a user priority level.

 

 

Loop Detection

The 36-port 10/100BASE-TX Desktop Switching Modules (Model

 

Numbers 3CB9LF36RL and 3CB9LF36TL) recognize Spanning Tree packets

 

but these modules do not participate in Spanning Tree. Instead, the

 

modules can implement a separate loop-detection algorithm on all of

 

their front-panel ports.

This algorithm acts only on the 36-port 10/100BASE-TX Desktop Switching Module front-panel ports, and does not act on other Layer 2 modules in the CoreBuilder 9000 system.
