Managing Ethernet MicroLAN Modules

Viewing the Statistics, Timer Statistics, and Performance Graph windows; using the repeater, board, and port Alarm Limits windows; setting alarm limits; link state traps, segmentation traps, and source address traps

The Repeater menu provides access to windows for monitoring and managing repeated Ethernet networks supported by a SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 Ethernet MicroLAN module (e.g., the 6E123-50 or 6E133-49). The Repeater menu option is available in the Device View for Ethernet MicroLAN modules.

Among the windows available from this menu are repeater, board, and port statistics windows (including Statistics, Timer Statistics, and Performance Graph windows); repeater, board, and port Alarm Limits windows; and repeater, board, and port Trap Selection windows.

The Lock/Unlock Ports option on the Repeater menu enables you to control port security. The Device View for Ethernet MicroLAN modules displays the port locking status of each repeater channel in a panel to the left of the module.

Refer to Chapter 2, The Device View for more information on the Ethernet MicroLAN port display and menu structure.

Repeater Statistics

The statistical information collected and stored by your Ethernet MicroLAN module provides you with detailed information about how much traffic your network (or a segment thereof) is experiencing, including the sizes and types of packets that make up that traffic, and how much of that traffic comprises packets which have been badly formed or somehow mangled in transmission. These statistics can give you a good overall sense of the usage your network, or network segment, is experiencing.
