Asante Technologies 1012 manual AsantéBridge Features, Snmp

Introducing the AsantéBridge

AsantéBridge Features	❏	Fujitsu SPARClite RISC processor providing line-speed
		forwarding of data
	❏ Expandable memory and FLASH EPROM enable easy
		upgrades to the bridge’s features and make the
		AsantéBridge an “Applications Engine” for future inter-
		networking technologies.This investment protection
		guarantees that the AsantéBridge will be a valuable net-
		work addition for years to come.
	❏ Controls and displays bridge parameters and statistics
		via AsantéView In-Band, Out-of-Band, and VT100 termi-
		nal interface
	❏	Supports the following:
	❏ 4096 dynamically learned entries in the forwarding table
	❏ 512 static entries in the forwarding table
	❏ 10 address and packet type ranges in the filtering table
	❏ Spanning Tree Algorithm 802.1d
	❏	SNMP

❏ IETF defined MIB for bridge management ❏ SNMP MIB I and II

❏ Provides comprehensive LEDs for a at-a-glance monitor- ing of bridge parameters

Based on Fujitsu’s powerful SPARClite RISC processor, AsantéBridge 1012 forwards data at line speed, without interfer- ing with or degrading network performance of traffic crossing the bridge.The high performance RISC processor with expandable memory and FLASH EPROM make the AsantéBridge 1012 a power- ful “Application Engine” for future internetworking technologies. AsantéBridge 1012 also includes SNMP capabilities and is a com- plete plug-in replacement for users of the AsantéHub 1012’s cur- rent SNMP Module.The AsantéBridge option card is designed to fit into the expansion slot of the AsantéHub 1012.

AsantéBridge 1012 reinforces Asanté’s commitment to standards- based networking, supporting the following:

❏ IEEE 802.3 for Ethernet

❏ IETFdefined MIB for bridge management ❏ IEEE 802.1d bridge spanning tree algorithm

❏ SNMP MIB I and II for standards-based bridge and hub management

❖ Note:AsantéView 2.2 In-Band is required to manage the AsantéBridge 1012. ❖
