2H28-08R Overview
2H28-08R SmartSwitch 2208 User’s Guide 1-5
1.3.6 Management
Management of the 2H28-08R is accomplished using SNMP compliant
management tools for in-band Local Management. Out-of-band Local
Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port on the front panel
using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. In-band remote
management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network
Management Software.
Local Management provides the ability to manage the 2H28-08R and any
of the optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules installed in ports 7 and 8.
1.3.7 Remote Monitoring (RMON)
The 2H28-08R supports all Ethernet RMON groups, which include
Statistics, Alarms, Events and History. These groups are enabled on all
ports by default.
Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor specific extension of
RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB
variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON Event and/or Alarm.
An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a
broadcast threshold is crossed.
1.3.8 LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by
providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall
network operations.
1.3.9 Broadcast Suppression
Broadcast Suppression allows a user to set a desired limit of receive
broadcast frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports
on the module up to the set limit. Any broadcast frames above this
specified limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being
suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched.
