Cabletron Systems 2H33-37R 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 server, or an IP 
address is entered using Local Management.

 

Management of the 2H23-50R or 2H33-37R 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 2H23-50R and 
2H33-37R and any of the optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules 
installed in slots 5 and 6 of the 2H23-50R, or an optional High Speed 
Interface Module (HSIM) in a 2H33-37R. 

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

 

The 2H23-50R and 2H33-37R provide 802.1D switching, 802.1Q 
switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all 
of the front panel interfaces including Fast Ethernet Interface Modules 
installed in a 2H23-50R or an HSIM installed in a 2H33-37R.

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