Source Addressing

NOTE

It is not necessary to close the Source Address List before launching the module and port traps windows; just move the Source Address List window out of the way, if necessary, to reach the main Repeater Source Address window.

As with device-level trap status, a status of Other for any module indicates that there is some combination of enabled and disabled source address traps on the ports in that module.

To configure trap status for all ports on a selected module or modules:

1.In the Module Source Address Traps window (Figure 5-3, page 5-10), click mouse button 1 to select the module for which you wish to enable or disable traps. If the Set Trap Status For field displaysSelected Modules (the default setting), you can click to select any modules; to de-select any highlighted module, click on it again. If the selection All Modules is displayed in the Set Trap Status For field, all available modules will be automatically selected; if you de-select any module, the Set Trap Status For field will automatically revert to the Selected Modules setting. To change the setting in the Set Trap Status For field, click mouse button 1 on the currently displayed setting, and drag down to select a new setting.

2.Click on the appropriate selection in the Trap Status field to enable or disable traps for the selected modules, as desired.

3.Click on to save your changes. Note that enabling or disabling traps at the module level will eliminate any module status of Other by setting all ports on the selected module or modules to the same status.

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.
