Source Addressing

•PortTypeChanged traps are issued when a port’s topology status changes from station to trunk, or vice versa. The interesting information includes the board and port index, and the port’s new topology status.

•A lockStatusChanged trap is generated when the ports in the hub are locked or unlocked using the Source Address Lock option in the Source Address List window or by using the lock options in the Security application; the interesting information is the new lock status. (See Locking Source Addresses,page 5-5, or Chapter 5, Security, for more information.)

•PortSecurityViolation and portViolationReset traps are sent in response to changes related to port locking: if ports are locked, the portSecurityViolation trap indicates that a new source address has attempted access on one of the ports, and the configured security actions are being taken; the interesting information is the board and port index, and the violating address. PortViolationReset traps are sent when management intervention has re- enabled a port or ports previously disabled in response to a port security violation; the interesting information is board and port index. Again, see Locking Source Addresses, page 5-5, for more information.

Device-level Traps

The current status of the device-level source addressing traps is displayed in the Source Address Traps field in the Source Address List window (Figure 5-2, page 5-3).

A status of Enabled indicates that source address traps have been enabled for all ports on all modules installed in the SEHI or SEHI-controlled hub; a status of Disabled indicates that source address traps have been disabled for all ports on all modules; and a status of Other indicates that there is some combination of enabled and disabled source address traps on the modules and/or ports in the hub or device.

To change the current status and enable or disable traps for all ports in the SEHI- controlled hub:

1.Click mouse button 1 on the appropriate option in the Source Address Traps field.

2.Click button 1 on to set your new trap status; the new status will be displayed to the left of the options in the Source Address Traps field. Note that enabling or disabling traps at the device level will eliminate any status of Other by setting all ports on all modules to the same status.

Module- and Port-level Traps

To set module- and port-level source addressing traps, select the appropriate

channel in the Repeater Source Address window, then click on to

enable and disable module-level traps, or onto enable and disable port-level traps.

SEHI-22/24, SEHI-32/34 specifications

Cabletron Systems was a notable player in the networking hardware market during the rise of local area networks (LANs) in the late 20th century. Among its innovative products were the SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34 modules, which were designed to enhance network capabilities in enterprise environments.

The SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34 were versatile high-performance Ethernet switch modules that offered significant advantages in network management and connectivity. These modules were designed to work with Cabletron's modular switching and routing architecture, allowing for scalable solutions tailored to specific network demands. A key feature of the SEHI series was its support for a range of Ethernet standards, ensuring compatibility with diverse networking environments.

One notable characteristic of the SEHI-22/24 was its ability to support both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet technologies. This dual support enabled organizations to leverage existing 10 Mbps infrastructure while facilitating upgrades to 100 Mbps speeds without needing a complete overhaul of the network. Similarly, the SEHI-32/34 offered even greater connectivity options, accommodating more users and devices while maintaining high throughput and low latency.

In terms of management features, the SEHI series was equipped with extensive traffic management capabilities, including Quality of Service (QoS) features that prioritized bandwidth for critical applications. This ensured that essential services such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing could function optimally, even during heavy network loads.

Furthermore, both modules featured advanced diagnostics and monitoring tools that provided network administrators with critical insights into traffic patterns and potential bottlenecks. This functionality was essential for maintaining network health and optimizing performance, especially in dynamic business environments.

Security also played a crucial role in the design of the SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34. The modules incorporated support for various authentication methods and access controls, ensuring that sensitive data remained protected within the corporate network.

In summary, Cabletron Systems’ SEHI-22/24 and SEHI-32/34 offered significant advancements in Ethernet switching technology, allowing organizations to build robust, scalable, and secure networks. With their impressive features, compatibility, and capacity for management and security, these modules were instrumental in shaping reliable networking solutions for enterprises navigating the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
