Introduction

•Support for redundant, load-sharing power supplies to provide fault tolerance.

•Diagnostic LEDs for quick visual diagnosis of interface and device performance; a single removable fan tray; a 19" footprint for ease of installation in rack mounts; and front panel accessibility to all chassis components for easy maintenance.

•A distributed chassis management design, in which each module in the chassis can be managed via a single chassis IP/MAC address pair that is associated with the chassis as a whole. Each installed module will respond to management queries to the “Chassis Manager” component that use the chassis IP/MAC address pair and a chassis-level community string (e.g., “public”).

In addition to the “Chassis Manager” component for the hub as a whole, each installed module supports its own “Module Manager” management component that responds to the same chassis IP/MAC pair and a uniquely indexed module-level community string (e.g., “public.1” for module 1; “public.2” for module 2, etc.).

Using the MultiSwitch 700 Modules User’s Guide

Each chapter in this guide describes one major functionality or a collection of several smaller functionalities of the MultiSwitch 700 modules and the chassis in which they are installed. This guide contains information about software functions which are accessed directly from the device icon.

Because the modules share much of their functionality, they will be collectively referred to as the MultiSwitch 700 modules. Where there are differences, however, each device will be named separately, as necessary. The information displayed in many of the windows will differ slightly depending upon which type of device is being managed; however, only a single window will be shown unless significant differences in functionality exist.

Chapter 1, Introduction, provides a list of related documentation, describes certain software conventions, and shows you how to contact the Global Technical Assistance Center. It also briefly describes the MultiSwitch 700 modules and chassis.

Chapter 2, The MultiSwitch 700 Device View, describes the visual display of the MultiSwitch 700 chassis as a whole and explains how to use the mouse within the Device View. It details all chassis-level management functions, including Port Redirect, Advanced Priority Configuration, and pre-standard 802.1Q port-based VLAN configuration at the chassis level. It documents chassis-specific information, including MIB-II System Group information, chassis IP and MAC addresses, chassis clock information and uptime, power supply configuration and status, fan operational status, and backplane configuration.

The chapter also details how each module is displayed in the chassis, and explains how to access management menus from the module display and change port status information. It explains how to manage the individual module by
