Network Management Module (NMM)

The Intel Express Stackable Hub Network Management Module (Intel product code EC100NMM) fits into the expansion slot and allows you to extend per-port advanced Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management functions to each Express Stackable Hub in the stack.

Advanced SNMP management allows you to communicate with SNMP-compatible software to

•monitor network statistics and view errors and hardware status.

•view configuration and status information for each port in a stack of up to six hubs.

•gather network communications and activities information for analysis and storage.

The advanced level of network management also supports Intel LANDesk Network Manager. The NMM agent software contains embedded management features that allow you to get important information from existing nodes.

Cascade cables

Intel cascade cables (Intel product code EC100CC) allow you to stack and link multiple Express Stackable Hubs so you can expand port connections in a network segment. A stack can contain a maximum of six hubs. When connected using Intel cascade cables, the entire stack of hubs acts as a single repeater or collision domain.
