RuggedServerTM RS910

2-Port Serial Device Server with up to 3 Ports Managed Ethernet Switch

￿Can be enabled on a per VLAN basis.

￿Detects and filters all multicast streams regardless of whether subscribers exist.

￿Supports "router-less" operation by supporting an "active" mode.

￿Restores traffic streams immediately after an RSTP topology change.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

SNMP provides a standardized method for network management stations the ability to interrogate devices from different vendors. SNMP versions supported by ROS™ are v1, v2c, and v3. SNMPv3 in particular provides security features (such as authentication, privacy, and access control) not present in earlier SNMP versions. ROS™ also supports numerous standard MIBs (Management Information Base) allowing for easy integration with any network management system (NMS). A feature of SNMP supported by ROS™ is the ability to generate "traps" upon system events. A NMS can record traps from multiple devices providing a powerful network troubleshooting tool. RuggedVueTM is RuggedCom's NMS that provides graphical visualization of the network and is fully integrated with all RuggedCom products.

SCADA and Industrial Automation

ROS™ contains features that optimize network performance and simplify switch management based on the unique requirements found in SCADA and industrial automation applications. Features such as Modbus TCP management for retrieval of switch data using the ubiquitous Modbus protocol and DHCP Option 82, a Rockwell Automation ODVA requirement for IP address assignment based on the location of the end device, provide capabilities not found in typical "commercial" or "office grade" Ethernet switches.

Port Based Network Access Control (802.1x) ROS™ supports the IEEE 802.1x standard that defines

a mechanism for port-based network access control which provides a means of authenticating and authorizing devices attached to LAN ports.

Port Rate Limiting

ROS™ supports configurable rate limiting per port to limit unicast and multicast traffic. This can be essential to managing precious network bandwidth for service providers. It also provides edge security for denial of service

(DOS) attacks.

Broadcast Storm Filtering

Broadcast storms wreak havoc on a network and can cause attached devices to malfunction. This could be disastrous on a network with mission critical equipment. ROS™ limits this by filtering broadcast frames with a user-defined threshold.

Port Mirroring

ROS™ can be configured to duplicate all traffic on one port to a designated mirror port. When combined with a network analyzer, this can be a powerful troubleshooting tool.

ROSTM Features

Port Configuration and Status

ROS™ allows individual ports to be 'hard' configured

for speed, duplex, auto-negotiation, flow control and more. This allows proper connection with devices that do not negotiate or have unusual settings. Detailed status of ports with alarm and SNMP trap on link problems aid greatly in system troubleshooting.

Port Statistics and RMON (Remote Monitoring) ROS™ provides continuously updating statistics per port that provide both ingress and egress packet and byte counters as well as detailed error figures. Also provided is full support for the RMON statistics, history, alarms, and event groups. RMON allows for very sophisticated data collection, analysis and detection of traffic patterns.

Event Logging and Alarms

ROS™ records all significant events to a non-volatile system log allowing forensic troubleshooting. Events include link failure and recovery, unauthorized access, broadcast storm detection, and self-test diagnostics among others. Alarms provide a snapshot of recent events that have yet to be acknowledged by the network administrator. An external hardware relay is de-energized during the presence of critical alarms allowing an external controller to react if desired.

HTML Web Browser and Telnet User Interfaces ROS™ provides a simple, intuitive user interface for configuration and monitoring via a standard graphical web browser or via Telnet. All system parameters include detailed on-line help to make setup a breeze. ROS™ , presents a common look and feel and standardized configuration process allowing easy migration to other RuggedCom managed products.

Configuration via ASCII Text File

All configuration parameters are stored in an ASCII formatted text file that can easily be transferred via TFTP or Xmodem. The configuration file can be saved for backup purposes and easily manipulated by a text editor. The same text file can be downloaded to the switch at a later date in order to re-configure or restore a previous configuration.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

A command line interface can be used in conjunction with remote shell to automate data retrieval, configuration updates, and firmware upgrades. A powerful SQL-like capability allows expert users the ability to selectively retrieve or manipulate any parameters the device

has to offer.
