Cabletron Systems 2E43-51 User Manual

 

Introduction

 

The RAD requests start out at an interval of 1 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 BootP server, or 
an IP address is entered using Local Management.

 

Management of the 2E43-51 is accomplished using SNMP compliant 
management tools for in-band Local Management. Out-of-band Local 
Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port on the front panel 
using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. In-band remote 
management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network 
Management Software.

Local Management provides the ability to manage the 2E43-51 and any of 
the optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules installed in ports 5 and 6, 
and the optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM). 

The associated HSIM user’s guide provides detailed information about 
the HSIM Local Management.

 

The 2E43-51 provides 802.1D switching, 802.1Q switching or SecureFast 
Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel 
interfaces including Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and High Speed 
Interface Module (HSIM).

IEEE 802.1Q switching and SecureFast switching allow for future 
migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the 
replacement of existing equipment.

 

The 2E43-51 provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) 
support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect 
against “loop” conditions. The 2E43-51 also supports 100BASE-TX and 
100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet standards and a wide variety of industry 
standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), 
RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) and RFC 1354 (FIB MIB). A full suite of 
Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical 
information to enhance troubleshooting.
