Fast EtherHub 3500 System User’s Guide
FlexBus 3500 Management Link
The management link in a chain of cascaded hubs must be connected to manage the stack as a single unit. This means that only hubs connected using the FlexBus can be controlled by an SNMP management agent (i.e., Fast EtherHub-12mi). At most, 6 hubs can be managed and linked together using the FlexBus connection.
Hub ID Setting
In a stacked system, each hub should have a unique ID number to identify itself. Each hub automatically sets an ID number if attached to an SNMP management agent through the FlexBus port (i.e., Fast EtherHub-12mi). When a new hub is inserted in the stack, the next available hub identifier is assigned to the new hub (i.e., the identifier numbers are not changed for previously configured hubs). When the stack includes a management agent, you can also set hub IDs using the on-board configuration
program. Refer toin Chapter 4 for more information.
Using Management Agents
The Fast EtherHub-12mi SNMP includes an SNMP management agent. To add SNMP functionality to the entire stack, this hub type must be included in the stack. To provide in-band access to the agent you must also attach your network management station to a the segment that includes the management agent.
