System Configuration Menu

Use the System Configuration menu to configure the Agent Module’s Internet Protocol (IP) parameters, define the maximum number of Telnet sessions allowed, and specify to which segment (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) the management agent is attached. Figure 3-5 shows and the accompanying table describes the System Configuration Menu.

Description

 

 

 

 

IP Address

IP address of the agent you are managing. Valid IP

 

 

addresses consist of four numbers (0 to 255) separated

 

 

by periods. Anything outside of this format will not be

 

 

accepted by the configuration program. If the IP

 

 

address is set to 0.0.0.0 (the default), the SNMP agent

 

 

will automatically issue BOOTP requests to a BOOTP

 

 

server to learn its IP address. BOOTP requests will be

 

 

disabled by configuring the agent with a valid IP

 

 

address.

 

 

 

Subnet Mask

Subnet mask of the management agent you have

 

 

selected. This mask identifies the host address bits

 

 

used for routing to specific subnets. (The default subnet

 

 

mask is 0.0.0.0.)

 

 

Default Gateway

Gateway used to pass trap messages from the

 

 

management agent to the network management

 

 

station. Note that the gateway must be defined if the

 

 

management station is located in a different IP

 

 

segment. (The default gateway is 0.0.0.0.)

ELH100 specifications

The Cabletron Systems ELH100 is a robust and innovative networking device that was designed for use in high-performance network environments. Introduced during the late 1990s, the ELH100 served as a valuable solution for enterprises looking to enhance their network efficiency and reliability. This device is particularly notable for its combination of advanced features, cutting-edge technologies, and versatile characteristics.

One of the main features of the ELH100 is its ability to support multiple Ethernet standards, including 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, making it highly flexible for diverse networking needs. This multi-standard support provided businesses with the ability to upgrade their networking infrastructure without entirely replacing existing equipment, allowing for a more cost-effective transition to higher-speed connections.

The ELH100 is equipped with a variety of ports, enabling it to connect to various devices seamlessly. Its design includes multiple media access control (MAC) addresses and the capability of supporting a sizable number of simultaneous connections. This design ensures optimal performance, even in environments requiring high data throughput.

In terms of technology, the ELH100 utilizes a pioneering architecture for load balancing and traffic management. This technology ensures that network bandwidth is used efficiently, minimizing bottlenecks and latency while maximizing throughput. Additionally, the device features hardware-based switching, which accelerates data transmission within the network, providing a competitive edge in applications that demand high-speed access.

Another defining characteristic of the ELH100 is its management capabilities. The device supports remote management via simple network management protocol (SNMP), allowing network administrators to monitor performance, configure settings, and troubleshoot issues from a central location. Such features not only enhance usability but also contribute to improved network uptime.

The ELH100 also emphasizes security features, including VLAN support, which permits the segmentation of network traffic. This capability helps in isolating different segments of the network, increasing both performance and security by preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data.

In summary, the Cabletron Systems ELH100 is a noteworthy networking solution that amalgamates versatility, efficiency, and advanced technology, making it a mainstay in the networking devices market during the era of its popularity. Its multi-standard support, hardware-based switching, management features, and security protocols underscore its capability to meet the evolving demands of enterprise networking environments.
