Intel Express 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hub
Network Management Module (NMM)
The Intel Express Stackable Hub Network Management Module (Intel
product code EC100NMM) fits into the expansion slot and allows you
to extend per-port advanced Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) management functions to each Express Stackable Hub in the
stack.
Advanced SNMP management allows you to communicate with
SNMP-compatible software to
monitor network statistics and view errors and hardware status.
view configuration and status information for each port in a stack
of up to six hubs.
gather network communications and activities information for
analysis and storage.
The advanced level of network management also supports Intel
LANDesk Network Manager. The NMM agent software contains
embedded management features that allow you to get important
information from existing nodes.
Cascade cables
Intel cascade cables (Intel product code EC100CC) allow you to stack
and link multiple Express Stackable Hubs so you can expand port
connections in a network segment. A stack can contain a maximum of
six hubs. When connected using Intel cascade cables, the entire stack of
hubs acts as a single repeater or collision domain.
