Introduction

Although the 6SSRM-02 supplies non-blocking high-speed throughput, you can configure the 
6SSRM-02 to apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to 
specific hosts, applications, and flows (source-destination pairs). This is especially useful in 
networks where the traffic level can exceed the network medium’s capacity.

The 6SSRM-02 QoS is based on four queues: control, high, medium, and low. Control traffic has 
the highest priority, high the second highest, and so on. The default priority for all traffic is low. 

You can configure QoS policies for the following types of traffic:

Layer-2 prioritization (802.1p)

Layer-3 and Layer-4 application flows

The 6SSRM-02 can provide extensive statistical data on demand. You can access the following 
types of statistics:

Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets 
in, packets out, CRC errors, and so on)

Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for ICMP, IP, IP-interface, IP routing, IP multicast, 
VLAN

Layer-4 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for TCP and UDP 

You can manage the 6SSRM-02 using the following management platforms:

Command Line Interface (CLI) – An EMACs editor-like interface that accepts typed 
commands and responds when applicable with messages or tables. You will use the CLI to 
perform the basic setup procedures described in Chapter 3 of this guide.

CoreWatch – Cabletron Systems’ Java-based device management software. CoreWatch 
provides a graphical interface to the 6SSRM-02, providing most of the same monitoring and 
control features as the CLI.

SNMP MIBs and traps – The 6SSRM-02 supports SNMP v1 and many standard networking 
MIBs. You can access the 6SSRM-02’s SNMP agent using Cabletron Systems integration 
software for HP OpenView 5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or Cabletron Systems Spectrum
