Chapter 1: Introduction
1.3.10 Port Redirect Function
The port redirect function, also referred to as “Port Mirroring,” is a troubleshooting tool used to map traffic from a single source port or multiple source ports to a destination port(s) within the chassis. This feature functions at the bit level, which allows all packets, including those with errors, to be copied and sent to an analyzer or RMON probe. The analyzer or RMON probe will see the data as if it is directly connected to the LAN segment of the source port(s).
1.3.11 Year 2000 Compliance
The 2H28-08R has an internal clock that can maintain the time and date beyond the year 1999.
1.3.12 Standards Compatibility
The 2H28-08R is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 standard. The optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard.The 2H28-08R provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. The 2H28-08R supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB), RFC 1354 (FIB MIB), RFC 1191 (Path MTU Discovery), and RFC 1317 (RS232 MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.
