Introduction
1-4
single link. All links are user-conÞgurable so administrators can scale the
backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links. The beneÞts of SmartTrunking
include the following:
¥ All purchased bandwidth is used.
¥ Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance.
¥ Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum
ßexibility.
Management
Management of the 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 modules and
SmartSwitch chassis and any optional equipment is accomplished using the Local
Management application or remote SNMP management stations. Local
Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the Environmental
Module using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem
connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is
possible through Webview or any SNMP compliant Network Management
Software.
Local Management provides the ability to manage the 9H532-24, 9H533-24,
9H531-24 and 9H539-24. Local Management information for non-Ethernet HSIMs
or VHSIMs is included in their respective userÕs guide. For details on how to get
manuals, refer to the Related Manuals section.
WebView
The 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 modules can be managed using
Cabletron WebView, a browser-based utility. There is no software to install as this
management capability is built into each module.
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
The 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 support all nine Ethernet
RMON groups. The Statistics, Alarms, Events and History groups are enabled on
all ports by default.
Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-speciÞc extension of RMON and
provides the ability to set an ÒActionÓ on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can
be triggered by setting an 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.
