F4: Exit menu or Delete Record or Clear Max Stats:

Exit Menu—appears at the Main Menu, and exits to the Port Status display ( Figure 2-3). To return to the menu, you must enter the node's password. (This feature is for security, to protect menu-level operations from unauthorized access.)

Delete Record—initiates the deletion of the displayed record. A record for this port number, containing all the default values, will remain in the database.

Deleting a port record for an existing port will immediately disable the port.

Clear Max Stats—on statistics displays, clears the maximum/cumulative values from the display (restarting them at the current values).

F5: Copy Record—copies a Port record's database values to another port's record, which can be convenient if several records in a node will have identical (or almost identical) configurations. After you perform this operation, the "copied to" record will be displayed, with the new database values. (The original record is automatically saved.) Press [F7] to update the system memory values.

You cannot copy a physical port's record to a logical port, or vice versa.

F6: Move Record—copies a Port record's database values to another port's record, then deletes the original record. After you perform this operation, the "moved to" record will be displayed, with the new database values. (The original record is automatically saved.) Press [F7] to update the system memory values.

You cannot move a physical port's record to a logical port, or vice versa.

F7: On-linechange—in Node Defaults or Physical/Logical Port configuration, copies Database values to System Memory. (Database and System Memory values are described on page 4-2for Node Defaults and page 6-3for Ports.)

F9: Stop Remote —terminates a remote control connection, gives you the option of rebooting the remote node, and returns control to the local operator.

F10: Abort or Reboot Remote:

Abort—initiates a reboot of a local node.

Reboot Remote—initiates a reboot of a remote node under local control. (You must then press [F9] to exit remote control.)

Before aborting or rebooting a node, notify all users that the node will be going down.

1800 specifications

Cabletron Systems, a leading player in network management and telecommunications solutions during the late 20th century, introduced several innovative products that played a crucial role in shaping enterprise networking. Among these were the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and the FRX1800, which delivered advanced features aimed at enhancing network performance, security, and scalability.

The Cabletron FRX6000 was designed as a robust multi-layer switch, ideal for large-scale enterprise environments. It supported extensive routing capabilities, allowing organizations to manage traffic efficiently even under heavy loads. The FRX6000 boasted high throughput rates and low latency, making it suitable for demanding applications. With support for various network protocols, including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, its adaptability made it a versatile choice for diverse networking needs. Moreover, security features like VLAN support and Access Control Lists (ACLs) provided enhanced protection against potential threats.

Moving to the FRX4000, this model offered a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. The FRX4000 maintained many of the essential features of its larger counterpart while catering to medium-sized enterprises. It provided Layer 3 routing and could handle multiple simultaneous connections, ensuring seamless communication across departments. The modular design allowed for easy upgrades, enabling businesses to expand their network infrastructure without significant overhauls. This made the FRX4000 an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their network investments.

Lastly, the FRX1800, designed for small to medium businesses, focused on simplicity and ease of use while still incorporating powerful network management capabilities. Its user-friendly interface made it accessible for organizations lacking extensive IT resources. The FRX1800 provided essential functionalities such as Integrated Layer 2 switching and routing, network monitoring, and basic security features, ensuring that even smaller companies could maintain efficient, reliable networking without overwhelming complexity.

All three models utilized advanced technologies, including a high bandwidth backbone and state-of-the-art switching architecture, to enable fast and reliable data transfer. They also supported Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, allowing businesses to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance across the network.

In summary, the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and FRX1800 were pivotal in enhancing network capabilities, providing organizations with scalable, secure, and high-performance options tailored to their specific needs.
