Overview
Introduction
1-3
The RAD requests start at an interval of 1 per second. The interval then doubles after every 
transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300 
seconds. The RAD requests continue until an IP address is received from a RARP or BootP server, 
or an IP address is entered using Local Management.
1.1.3
Full Duplex Switched Ethernet
Each switched Fast Ethernet port on the 2H252-25R supports 100 Mbps operation, and can operate 
in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE) mode. FDSE enables each port to provide up to 
200 Mbps of bandwidth to connected devices that support FDSE.
1.1.4
SmartTrunk
Traditional 802.1D Spanning Tree Bridges only allow one active data path between any two 
switches; all other parallel data paths are in Standby or Blocking mode. If one interface or path 
should fail, then the other interface automatically comes out of Blocking mode and forwards all of 
the traffic. This is fine for redundancy purposes. However, it is not the most efficient use of 
resources.
SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Enterasys Networks’ terminology for load 
balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk provides the ability to take full advantage of the network’s 
redundant bandwidth. SmartTrunk divides network traffic across multiple ports in parallel to 
provide additional throughput. The SmartTrunk application can be used with any of Enterasys 
Networks’ switch modules (except ATM modules).
For more information about SmartTrunk and how to configure it the SmartSwitch device, refer to 
the Enterasys Networks SmartTrunk User’s Guide.
NOTE: The 2H252-25R will reboot after RAD is successful.
