Meaning:

The port statistic Receive Error Ratio has exceeded the threshold

 

(T:“n” ) that was set by the user. (C:“n” is the current value.) The

 

Receive Error Ratio is the ratio of frames rejected per second to

 

frames accepted per second.

Action:

If this happens frequently, check the line for noise, and check for

 

configuration errors on both the port and the connected device.

318.Rcv Port Usage exceeded T:“n” C:“n”

Severity:

4

Meaning:

The port statistic % Receive Port Util (Utilization) has exceeded the

 

threshold (T:“n” ) that was set by the user. (C:“n” is the current

 

value.) Percent of Receive Port utilization is the ratio of non-flag

 

characters to total characters being received by the port.

Action:

If this happens frequently, you may need to add ports or reroute

 

some traffic.

319.Trn Port Usage exceeded T:“n” C:“n”

Severity:

4

Meaning:

The port statistic % Transmit Port Util (Utilization) has exceeded the

 

threshold (T:“n” ) that was set by the user. (C:“n” is the current

 

value.) Percent of Transmit Port Utilization is the ratio of non-flag

 

characters to total characters being received by the port.

Action:

If this happens frequently, you may need to add ports or reroute

 

some traffic.

400.Link Enabled

Severity: 2

Meaning: The port has been enabled from the On-Line Port Operations Menu.

Action: None.

401.Link Disabled

Severity: 2

Meaning: The port has been disabled from the On-Line Port Operations Menu.

Action: None.

402.Link Disconnected

Severity: 2

Meaning: For frame relay or X.25, this means that the link is disconnected and level 2 cannot be established.

For SNA TPAD, this means that an XID command frame has been issued by the TPAD, but either there has been no response or the received XID data does not match the XID data configured for the TPAD subscriber. For SNA HPAD, this means that no XID or SNRM command frame has been received for any link address con- figured for the HPAD subscriber.

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.
