Using the FRX4000, FRX6000, and SmartSwitch 1800 Hub View

RLP information will only be displayed if the appropriate database record has been conÞgured via console management (see your hardware documentation for more information); for RLPs which have been conÞgured in the database but not yet installed in the chassis, a blue module status will be displayed (see Port and Module Color Codes, below). RLPs which are present in the chassis but which have not been conÞgured in the database will not be displayed.

For each conÞgured RLP card, eight serial port status boxes will be displayed (four for each of two possible LIC cards); however, serial port status information will only be displayed for ports which are physically present (on an installed LIC card) and have been conÞgured in the database. Ports which are present but not conÞgured will display a blank status; if no LIC is present, the value [None] will be displayed under the appropriate LIC title, and the associated ports will also display a blank status.

LAN cards will only be displayed when they are both present and conÞgured, as they are conÞgured during the initial Þrmware installation process, and cannot be conÞgured unless they are present.

Port and Module Color Codes

Both the module index boxes and the port status boxes are color-coded to indicate status (see Figure 2-2, below).

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.
