	Features
Feature (Cont.)	Definition (Continued)
Reliability and Redun-	For maximum uptime and minimum network disruption, the
dancy	interface and management modules are hot-swappable. Configu-
	ration options include support for up to two load-sharing, hot-
	swappable power supplies.
Installation Options	The system can be rack-mounted to save space.
Security	Node summary tracks MAC and IP addresses per device, for mul-
	tiple devices on each port. The New Node Detection feature pro-
	vides per-port security, allowing the network manager to specify
	which MAC is authorized on each port. Only the device with that
	MAC address is allowed to connect to that specific port.
Web Based Management	Built-in Web-based interface is provided for chassis management,
	module management, port-level control, and monitoring. The
	IntraChassis 9000 can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or
	third party SNMP console.
VLANs	Supports up to 64 port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q compliant)
	for security, logical network design, and the control of broadcast
	traffic. The 802.1Q standard specifies VLAN tagging for trunking
	VLANs from switch to switch, or switch to router. Compatible
	with all 802.1Q equipment for easy integration into existing net-
	works.
Multicast Control	The IntraChassis 9000 supports standards based IGMP snooping
	and GMRP for control of multicast traffic generated by band-
	width-hungry applications like video, ensuring maximum applica-
	tion and network performance.
RMON	The administrator can use a RMON probe for in-depth traffic
	analysis, with support for four groups of RMON.
Spanning Tree Protocol	Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) detects and eliminates data loops to
	prevent broadcast storms from overwhelming your network.
