Features
The 2724/2824 hub provides the following set of features:
24 RJ-45 ports allows 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s connections by autodetecting
the wire speed.
Stackable lets you stack up to five hubs (four manageable 2724 hubs and
one managing 2824 hub) for up to 125 workstation connections. You can also
interconnect the 2724/2824 hubs with Netelligent 2524/2624 hubs.
Host/Target Design allows manageable hubs (Model 2724) to be managed
by a single managing hub (Model 2824)
24 Bi-Colored LED Indicators show port activity, port link, and port
disable/auto partition; other LEDs show collisions, the power supply status, and
the management status of the hub and the mode (10 or 100).
Backup Ports provide redundant port connections for mission-critical
applications (for example, order entry PCs connected to a file server).
Intrusion Detection provides a method of preventing unauthorized stations
from transmitting on the network.
Field-Upgradable Firmware lets you upgrade the 2824 hub firmware using
XMODEM and TFTP downloads via the BOOTP/TFTP sequence, the VT100
interface, or through SNMP. VT100 and SNMP can occur through both in-band
and out-of-band (SLIP) connections.
4-group RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3 & 9) allows remote monitoring and
gathering of network statistics without generating network traffic.
Compaq Netelligent Management Software provides an easy-to-use
graphical interface for managing the hub.
SNMP management over IP and IPX lets you monitor and manage the
hub via any industry-standard SNMP application, such as Compaq Netelligent
Management Software (provided at no extra charge with each unit).
VT100 interface allows out-of-band (serial port) and in-band (Telnet)
management for setting numerous configuration parameters.
