Introduction
1-6 2H23-50R/2H33-37R User’s Guide
The RAD requests start out at an interval of 1 second. The interval then
doubles after every transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is
reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300 seconds. The RAD
requests continue until an IP address is received from a server, or an IP
address is entered using Local Management.
1.3.6 Management
Management of the 2H23-50R or 2H33-37R 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 2H23-50R and
2H33-37R and any of the optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules
installed in slots 5 and 6 of the 2H23-50R, or an optional High Speed
Interface Module (HSIM) in a 2H33-37R.
The associated HSIM user’s guide provides detailed information about
the HSIM Local Management.
1.3.7 Switching Options
The 2H23-50R and 2H33-37R provide 802.1D switching, 802.1Q
switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all
of the front panel interfaces including Fast Ethernet Interface Modules
installed in a 2H23-50R or an HSIM installed in a 2H33-37R.
IEEE 802.1Q switching and SecureFast switching allow for future
migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the
replacement of existing equipment.
