SAP address in a frame received from the local LAN.)

◆Host SAP – 04 . (SAP addresses can be 04–fe , hex, in multiples of four.)

◆Local Subscriber – 990*. This is the Remote Subscriber ID of Host 2.

◆Remote Subscriber – 1010*. This is the Local Subscriber ID of Host 2.

◆Type – LLC2.

●LLC2 Host 2:

◆Host MAC Address – 4000000000470. This is the AS/400 targeted address (and is the same as the Host MAC Address configured on Host 0).

◆Session Type – Terminated. This host will terminate the frame relay LLC2 session to the above MAC address.

◆Routing Subscriber ID – 101*. This ID must end in an asterisk and contain all the digits of the Local Subscriber ID (shown later in this list).

◆Host SAP – 04 . (SAP addresses can be 04–fe , hex, in multiples of four.)

◆Local Subscriber – 990*. This is the Remote Subscriber ID of Host 2.

◆Remote Subscriber – 1010*. This is the Local Subscriber ID of Host 2.

◆Type – LLC2.

MAC Addresses

When entering a host MAC address in an LLC2 Host or Interface record, enter the address in non-canonical form unless the attached device is on an 802.3 LAN and the remote device is on an 802.5 LAN, orthe attached device is on an 802.5 LAN and the remote device is on an 802.3 LAN. In these cases, the incoming address will be "bit- swapped" by the transmitting host, and you must re-swap the bits before transmission to the remote device. Bit-swapping is described on page 9-22.

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.
