Features

This section describes the features of the DIGITAL VNswitch 900GV module. For further information, refer to the DIGITAL VNswitch 900 Series Technical Overview.

Hot Swap

With hot-swapping capabilities, you can install or remove the DIGITAL VNswitch 900GV from a DIGITAL MultiSwitch 900 chassis without turning off the power of the DIGITAL MultiSwitch 900. The MMI cards, also hot-swappable, can be removed from the module without detaching the module from the chassis.

Configuration and Management

The following configuration and management options are available:

Auto-configuring at power-up.

Support for up to 256 internal addresses for management and other purposes.

Manageable via SNMP and the Command Line Interface (CLI) management via Telnet or an attached terminal device.

Upgradeable device firmware (in nonvolatile flash memory) using TFTP with clearVISN Flash Loader.

A built-in SNMP management agent. It supports a comprehensive graphical user interface (GUI) (using the clearVISN MultiChassis Manager) that is identical for both in-band and out-of-band management.

Support for up to approximately 8,000 network addresses.

User-configured rate limiting for broadcast and multicast packets by address and specified protocol.

Serves as an uplink to Gigabit backbones for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI and ATM modules installed in a MultiSwitch 900.
