4.10 Port Mirroring

Port Mirroring is a feature to help in the debugging of a network. This screen allows for the enabling or disabling of port mirroring and the setting of source and monitor ports. The monitor port will show a copy of every packet that arrives or leaves the source port.

4.11 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management

This management protocol allows the user to configure the Community Table, Host Table and Trap Settings for the network.

4.11.1 Community Table

In the Community Table the administrator can create different community strings with customized access by choosing combinations of GET, SET and TRAP rights.

4.11.2 Host Table

The SNMP Host Table screen allows the user to add and remove hosts from access rights that have been granted to community groups. The permissions GET, SET and TRAP are assigned to a community name and then these permissions are assigned to individual machines by adding those machines and their IP addresses to the appropriate community string.

4.11.3 Trap Settings

The SNMP Trap Settings allows for the enabling or disabling of an authentication trap:

Enable: The system will generate a SNMP trap upon a host authorization failure

Disable: The authentication traps will not be generated

All hosts in community strings with TRAP privileges will be notified when a trap condition occurs.

65120 specifications

Asante Technologies 65120 is a high-performance network switch specifically designed to meet the needs of modern business environments. It stands out for its advanced features that ensure efficient data management and robust network performance. One of the key characteristics of the 65120 is its ability to support Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for rapid data transfer rates, crucial for businesses that rely on high-speed internet for their operations.

Equipped with 24 ports, the 65120 provides ample connectivity options, allowing businesses to connect multiple devices, including computers, printers, and servers. This extensive port availability ensures that companies can expand their network effortlessly as they grow, without having to invest in additional switches. The switch also features a compact design, making it easy to install in various environments, whether in a server room or an office space.

The 65120 employs advanced technologies that enhance its operational efficiency. One notable feature is its support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) capabilities. VLANs allow network administrators to segment the network into smaller, manageable pieces, improving performance and security by isolating sensitive data traffic from regular network communication. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that handle sensitive customer information or require separate environments for different departments.

Additionally, the switch supports quality of service (QoS) features, which prioritize network traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth necessary for smooth operation. This capability is essential for businesses that utilize voice-over IP (VoIP) or video conferencing technologies, where latency can significantly affect communication quality.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another significant advantage of the Asante Technologies 65120. This feature allows devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones to receive power through the network cable, eliminating the need for additional power sources and simplifying installation processes.

Overall, the Asante Technologies 65120 is a versatile and robust network switch designed for the evolving demands of modern businesses. Its combination of extensive port availability, advanced networking technologies such as VLAN support and QoS, and the convenience of PoE makes it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure while ensuring scalability and improved performance. This switch not only simplifies network management but also empowers businesses to stay competitive in an increasingly digital landscape.
