1.3.4 Management
Management of the 8H02-16 is accomplished using Local Management
tools or remote SNMP management stations. Out-of-band local
management is provided through the RS232 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.

1.3.6 Standards Compatibility
The 8H02-16 provides IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA)
support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect
against “loop” conditions. The 8H02-16 supports a wide variety of
industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1271
(RMON), RFC 1371 (RS232 MIB), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) and RFC
1354 (FIB MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs
provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.
1.3.7 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. Chapter 4 provides details about the 8H02-16
LANVIEW LEDs.
