Configuring the Subscriber Table

c.Click Yes on the Systematic Redirect option if you wish all calls to this subscriber to be redirected to the first alternate address defined in the Address Table. If you select this option, no calls will be received by the original subscriber, and only the first alternate subscriber will be used. Select No if you do not wish to redirect calls in this way.

d.Click Yes on the Redirect Busy option if you wish calls to this subscriber to be redirected to the defined alternate addresses when the original subscriber device is busy. Select No if you do not wish to redirect calls in this way.

e.Click Yes on the Redirect Out-of-Orderoption if you wish calls to this subscriber to be redirected to the defined alternate addresses when the original subscriber device is down. Select No if you do not wish to redirect calls in this way.

f.Use the Priority field to configure the priority level that will be assigned to this subscriber’s calls relative to other intra-nodal traffic. The higher the priority value, the higher the priority assigned to that subscriber’s calls. (Note that this value does not effect traffic exiting the device.)

g.Click on to create a new entry, or on to edit the entry currently selected in the Subscriber Table list box.

3.In the Routing Table:

a.If you wish to modify an existing Routing Table entry, be sure that entry is selected (and remember, any changes you make to the Routing Table effect the Subscriber Table entry currently highlighted in the top portion of the window).

b.In the Path field, enter the index number you wish to assign to the path you are configuring. These index values will be used in some cases to determine the order in which the routing paths will be selected; note that these values must be assigned sequentially.

c.In the LP field, enter the index number of the RLP card which contains the physical or logical port you wish to use to reach the subscriber device. Note that, for an FRX4000 and SmartSwitch 1800, this value will always be zero.

d.In the Port field, enter the index number of the physical or logical port you wish to use to reach the subscriber device. Index values 0-7 refer to physical ports on the selected RLP; values 8-63 denote logical ports.

e.Click on to create a new entry, or on to edit the entry selected in the Routing Table list box. (Note that either adding or modifying a Routing Table entry automatically modifies the Subscriber Table entry highlighted in the Subscriber Table list box.)

1800, FRX4000, FRX6000 specifications

Cabletron Systems, a leading player in network management and telecommunications solutions during the late 20th century, introduced several innovative products that played a crucial role in shaping enterprise networking. Among these were the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and the FRX1800, which delivered advanced features aimed at enhancing network performance, security, and scalability.

The Cabletron FRX6000 was designed as a robust multi-layer switch, ideal for large-scale enterprise environments. It supported extensive routing capabilities, allowing organizations to manage traffic efficiently even under heavy loads. 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.
