8H02-16 Overview
1.3.4Management
Management of the 8H02-16 is accomplished using Local Management tools or remote SNMP management stations. Out-of-band local management is provided through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.
1.3.5Traditional Switching
The 8H02-16 provides traditional Switching or SECUREFAST Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel interfaces including the optional ports 15 and 16.
Through Cabletron Systems Synthesis framework, the 8H02-16 supports operations in traditional Switching mode or SECUREFAST Switching mode. SECUREFAST Switching allows for future migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.
1.3.6Standards Compatibility
The 8H02-16 provides IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. The 8H02-16 supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1271 (RMON), RFC 1371 (RS232 MIB), 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.
1.3.7LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations. Chapter 4 provides details about the 8H02-16 LANVIEW LEDs.
