NETWORK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Port Mirroring

With this capability, the network manager can configure the switch to copy all traffic associated with one or more ports to a monitor port on the switch. The monitor port can be connected to a protocol analyzer or RMON probe for network traffic analysis and connection integrity.

SECURITY /RELIABILITY

Spanning Tree Protocol

The IEEE 802.1D spanning tree protocol provides fault tolerance by allowing the user to implement parallel paths for network traffic. Redundant paths are disabled when the main paths are operational and enabled if the main path fails.

Redundancy (Fault Tolerance)

One redundant Gigabit Ethernet port is included for fast failover for the active Gigabit port. If the active port fails or loses link status, the switch automatically activates the redundant port. An optional redundant power supply can also be purchased.

Routing Standards Compliance

SW5425 supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and RIP v2, ensuring interoperability between other Compaq switches and legacy routers.

This allows network managers to build fault-tolerant meshed topologies that eliminate single points of failure and avoid network downtime.

Worldwide Leader in Total Cost of Ownership

Integrated management, guaranteed Ethernet and Fast Ethernet inter-operability, single source of support, and strong service and support options provide Compaq customers with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), a higher level of network reliability, and greater confidence.

Designed with quality and long life in mind, the Compaq SW5425 meets all of Compaq’s high design and manufacturing standards. Surface-mount technology, ASIC-based hardware, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, and top-notch quality inspection provide the reliability and quality expected from a Compaq product.
