Cabletron Systems 5500 Benutzerhandbuch

 

The Catalyst 5500 is a 13 slot chassis that serves as a high-end switching 
platform. Depending on the modules installed, the Catlayst 5500 can be used 
in backbone applications as a scaleable Fast Ethernet or ATM switch. The 
Catalyst 5500 also supports switched Ethernet, Token Ring and ATM modules 
as well as existing Catalyst 5000 and LightStream 1010 modules.

 

SPECTRUM allows you to monitor and manage network devices such as hubs, 
routers, and switches through software 

 

 (see the AdministratorÕs 

Reference for Modeling Instructions) of these devices and their associated 
applications. The models you create reside in the SpectroSERVER database, 
where they are updated continually with information gathered by polling the 
actual devices. 

Models are represented visually by 

 

 that appear in various views in 

SpectroGRAPH. Icons representing devices provide at-a-glance, color-coded 
status information. Both device icons and application icons also provide 
mouse-click access to other views that contain detailed conÞguration and 
performance information. 

SPECTRUM 

 

 are software packages that provide 

templates for creating software models of particular devices or families of 
devices. Management modules also include templates for modeling the 
applications supported by these devices. Each template, called a model type, 
speciÞes attributes that correspond to objects deÞned in the Management 
Information Bases (MIBs) that govern the operation of the device or 
application to be modeled.The model type names for the Cisco Catalyst 5000/
5500 Hubs are:

¥ HubCat5000
¥ HubCat5500

Refer to the 

 

guide for 

modeling instructions.

 

The Catalyst 5500 does not have management support for LightStream 
boards. To manage these boards the Cisco Lightstream 1010 must be 
installed in slot number 13 of the Catalyst 5500 chassis.
