Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
PowerConnect 6024/6024F supports boot image, firmware and configuration upload/download via
TFTP.
Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring (RMON) is an extension to the SNMP that provides comprehensive network
traffic
monitoring capabilities (as opposed to SNMP, which allows network
device
management and
monitoring). RMON is a standard MIB that defines current and historical MAC-layer statistics and
control objects, allowing real-time information to be captured across the entire network.
For information about RMON, see
"
Viewing RMON Statistics."
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Versions 1, 2 and 3
To control access to the system, a list of community entries is defined, each of which consists of a
community string and its access privileges. There are three levels of SNMP security — read-only,
read-write, and super. Only a super-user can access the community table itself.
Command Line Interface
Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and semantics conform as much as possible to common
industry practice. CLI is composed of mandatory and optional elements. Context-sensitive help
provides format and value ranges allowed for current commands, and the CLI interpreter provides
command and keyword completion.
Syslog
Syslog is a protocol that allows event notifications to be sent to a set of desired remote servers
where they can be stored, examined, and acted upon.
For information about Syslog, see
"
Managing Logs."
SNTP
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) assures accurate network switch clock time
synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP
server.
For more information about SNTP, see "Configuring SNTP Settings."
Traceroute
Traceroute enables discovering IP routes that packets were forwarded along during the forwarding
process. The CLI Traceroute utility can be executed from either User EXEC or Privileged EXEC
modes.
