EES-1024AF Intelligent Ethernet Switch
Getting to Know the EES 1024 1-3
1.4.3 SNMP Network Management
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between
network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. This switch supports SNMP agent functionality,
which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the switch through the network.
An SNMP managed network consists of two main components: agents and a manager.
An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the switch). An agent translates the
local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the
console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications
that control and monitor managed devices.
The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected
about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A
Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to
communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
1.5 Network Applications
This section describes a few samples of network topology in which EES-1024AF Intelligent Switch (UTP/MT-
RJ/VF-45, Intelligent) is used.
The switch provides versatile configuration options for the network. It is ideally suited as a workgroup or segment
switch in a network; it has the flexibility to provide switched 10Mbps network link to the desktop or shared hubs,
aggregate traffic from workgroup switches, or provide dedicated 100Mbps or 1000Mbps (Gigabit) to servers with
bandwidth-intensive applications. Since all Fast Ethernet ports are auto-negotiate for operation at 100 Mbps the
switch is perfect for use in an evolving network environment where demand for network speed is increasing.
1.5.1 Backbone Application
For small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future, the switch is an ideal solution supporting
backbone connectivity.
The switch can be used as a standalone switch for a group of heavy traffic users. Switching is brought to the
desktop either through a single end-station per switch port or through a multi-port switch.
A 1000 Mbps server is connected to the switch providing end stations high-speed accessibility to its applications.
This configuration provides dedicated 100 Mbps connections to the network center, to the server, and up to 40 users
(while 2 Optional 8-port module are installed).
When the network needs expansion, you can simply connect the switch to any IEEE 802.3 ( Ethernet ), IEEE
802.3u ( Fast Ethernet ) and 802.3z ( Gigabit Ethernet ) compliant switch utilizing the Auto MDI/MDIX function.
The switch can also work side by side with a wide range of networking devices (e.g., firewall routers and printer
servers) added to the network.
