Management

Management

Management of the module can be either in‐band or out‐of‐band. In‐band remote management is possible using Telnet, Enterasys Networks’ NetSight® management application, or WebView™ application. Out‐of‐band management is provided through the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.

Switch Configuration Using WebView

Enterasys Networks’ HTTP‐based Web management application (WebView) is an intuitive web tool for simple management tasks.

Switch Configuration Using CLI Commands

The CLI commands enable you to perform more complete switch configuration management tasks.

For CLI command set information and how to configure the module, refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide.

Standards Compatibility

The DFE‐Gold modules are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3‐2002, 802.3ae‐2002, 802.1D‐1998, and 802.1Q‐1998 standards. The DFE‐Gold module provides IEEE

802.1D‐1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions.

Secure Networks Policy Support

Policy Enabled Networking manages the allocation of networking infrastructure resources in a secure and effective manner. Using Secure Networks Policy, an IT Administrator can predictably assign appropriate resources to the Users, Applications, and Services that use the network; while blocking or containing access for inappropriate or potentially dangerous network traffic. Using this technology it is possible, for the first time, to align IT services with the needs of specific users and applications, and to leverage the network as a key component of the organization’s security strategy.

The Secure Networks Policy Architecture consists of 3 components: Classification Rules, Network Services, and Behavioral Profiles. These are defined as follows:

•Classification Rules determine how specific traffic flows (identified by Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 information in the data packet) are treated by each Switch or Router. In general, Classification Rules are applied to the networking infrastructure at the network edge/ingress point.

Additionally, these switches are equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, enabling users to power devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras directly from the switch. This eliminates the need for additional electrical wiring, simplifying installation and reducing costs. The power budget is adequately managed, ensuring that all connected devices operate efficiently.

In terms of security, Enterasys Networks has integrated advanced features such as VLAN support and Access Control Lists (ACLs) to enhance network segmentation and safeguard against unauthorized access. This is particularly crucial in environments where sensitive data is handled. The inclusion of network monitoring and management tools further aids IT teams in maintaining optimal network performance and detecting potential issues proactively.

Moreover, these models support a variety of networking protocols, which adds flexibility and compatibility with existing infrastructure. The user-friendly web interface and CLI enable easy configuration and management, catering to network administrators' diverse levels of expertise.

Built with high-quality materials, Enterasys Networks devices are designed to withstand the rigors of a data center environment, ensuring longevity and reliable performance. The combination of these features makes the 4H4284-49, 4H4202-72, 4H4282-49, 4H4283-49, and 4H4203-72 models excellent choices for organizations looking to enhance their networking capabilities and ensure a secure, efficient communication network that can grow with their needs. Overall, Enterasys Networks continues to set benchmarks in networking technology, making significant strides in improving connectivity and performance for enterprises worldwide.
