Cabletron Systems 6H122-08 Full Duplex Switched Ethernet FDSE, Management, Switching Options

6H122-08 Overview

1.3.3Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE)

Each switched Fast Ethernet port on the 6H122-08 supports 10/100 Mbps operation and can be configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE) mode. FDSE allows each Fast Ethernet port to provide up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth.

1.3.4Management

Management of the 6H122-08 module and 6C105 chassis and any optional equipment is accomplished using Local Management tools or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.

1.3.5Switching Options

The 6H122-08 provides 802.1D switching, 802.1Q switching, or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel interfaces including optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules.

SecureFast switching and 802.1Q switching allow for future migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.

1.3.6Standards Compatibility

The 6H122-08 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard. The optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard. The 6H122-08 provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. The 6H122-08 supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) and RFC 1354 (FIB MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.
