Overview of the Model 5625HD Switch Module
206208-A 1-7
Command Line Interface
The CLI provides an out-of-band interface for the initial setup of basic
configuration parameters such as IP address and bridging mode. For more
information about the CLI structure and commands, refer to Reference Guide for
the Centillion Command Line Interface.
SNMP MIB Support
The System 5000BH/BHC MCP modules support an SNMP-compatible agent
with private MIB extensions. Built-in SNMP agent support ensures compatibility
with existing network management tools. The MCP modules support MIB-I and
MIB-II (RFC 1213) standards that provide access to detailed management
statistics.
Using SpeedView, you can configure SNMP traps to be generated automatically
for conditions such as unauthorized access attempts or changes in operating status
on individual ports.
TFTP Support
TFTP is a supported Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
service used to download software and configuration information to the MCP
module memory. TFTP allows you to transfer an updated switch agent and
configuration files from a remote server to flash memory. You can perform a
transfer over the network or through a serial connection to the installed MCP
module.
Spanning Tree Protocol 802.1d Support
The Model 5625HD switch module software supports the Spanning Tree Protocol
as specified in the IEEE 802.1d standard. The Spanning Tree Protocol is
implemented to detect and eliminate logical loops in a bridged or switched
network. When multiple paths exist, the spanning tree algorithm configures the
network so that abridge or switch uses only the most efficient path. If that path
fails, theprotocol automatically reconfigures the network to make another path
become active, thus sustaining network operations.
