Configuration 107

(parameter)

Parameter whose value is to be printed (for tcmget) or set (for tcmset). (For example, ’Serial Number’.)

Each parameter should be separated by a space and requires proper shell quoting. At least one parameter should be supplied per group, unless -L (list parameters by group) is specified.

Parameter names are matched using substring comparison against the list of known parameter names within the currently selected group. Substring matching has the same ’initial match priority’ and ambiguity rules as for group name matching.

(value)

This parameter is available in the tcmset command only.

Value of the parameter. Parameters can be one of the following value types:

■Integer—Decimal numeric value.

■Display String—Printable characters, suitably quoted.

■Octet String—Printable characters, or an ASCII hex string beginning with '0x' (any string starting with '0x' is assumed to be ASCII hex).

■IP Address—IP dot notation.

■Object Identifier—Must be a valid numeric object identifier (e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.429...)

■Enumeration—An enumeration, specified using substring match against the list of known for this variable (as seen in the Programmed Settings GUI). Rules for substring match similar to those for group and parameter names (see the "-G" option above).

Parameter types may be determined by using the -L option

5210 specifications

The 3Com 5210 is a robust and reliable networking switch designed to meet the demands of modern IT environments. Aimed at businesses looking for a balance of performance and manageable costs, the 5210 series provides essential features that cater to the needs of various industries.

One of the standout features of the 3Com 5210 is its support for high-performance switching. With a switching capacity of up to 104 Gbps, the device is built to handle a significant amount of data traffic, making it suitable for environments with heavy workloads. Coupled with a forwarding rate of 77.4 million packets per second, the 5210 guarantees minimal latency, ensuring that data is transmitted swiftly and efficiently across the network.

The 5210 switch supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, allowing for flexibility in network design and operational efficiency. The Layer 3 functionality enables IP routing, facilitating better traffic management and segmentation across IP networks. This is particularly useful for organizations looking to optimize their network performance and ensure efficient load distribution.

In terms of security, the 3Com 5210 incorporates advanced features designed to protect enterprise networks from potential threats. The switch supports VLANs, which help in segmenting network traffic, along with port security features to minimize unauthorized access. Moreover, it provides access control lists (ACLs) that allow administrators to define rules for data transmission, enhancing overall security.

The device is also equipped with Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities, which prioritize different types of traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they require. This is crucial for businesses that rely on voice over IP or video conferencing, as it ensures clear and uninterrupted communication.

Management and monitoring are simplified via a user-friendly web interface, allowing network administrators to configure settings, monitor traffic, and troubleshoot issues easily. The switch supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), enabling remote management and ensuring that IT teams can respond to problems without being physically present at the location.

The 3Com 5210 is characterized by its reliability and durability. Built with robust hardware components, the switch is designed for continuous operation, suitable for both small offices and larger enterprise networks. With its combination of performance, security, and manageability, the 3Com 5210 stands out as a valuable asset for organizations aiming to enhance their networking capabilities.
