●Out/In Bad IP Hdr – is the number of transmitted datagrams that subsequently were discarded due to a header size less than was specified. The message text says Outgoing if this node is a point in the path of the datagram, and Incoming if the datagram originated at this node.

●Out Time Req – is the number of requests to other entities in the IP path for times- tamps, which are a method of determining delay characteristics over the Internet.

●In Time Req – is the number of requests received from other en tities in the IP path for timestamps, which are a method of determining delay characteristics over the Internet.

●Out Time Rsp – is the number of responses to timestamp requests that were made to this node by other entities in the IP path.

●In Time Rsp – is the number of responses received by this node to timestamp requests.

●Out Info Req – is the number of requests to other entities in the IP path for the IP address of the network to which they are attached.

●In Info Req – is the number of requests received from a host for the IP address of the network to which this node is attached.

●Out Info Rsp – is the number of responses sent by this node to information requests.

●In Info Rsp – is the number of responses received by this node to information requests.

●Out Mask Req – is the number of requests to other entities in the IP path for the subnet mask of the IP network to which they are attached.

●In Mask Req – is the number of requests from other entities in the IP path for the subnet mask of the IP network to which this node is attached.

●Out Mask Rsp – is the number of responses sent by this node to subnet mask requests.

●In Mask Rsp – is the number of responses received by this node to subnet mask requests.

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.
