ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Installation Guide
 
Management
 
The ESX can be managed using Local Management (LM) tools or remote 
SNMP management stations. Out-of-band Local Management is provided 
through RS232 COM ports on the front panel using a standard VT220 or 
VT320 terminal or emulator. In-band remote management is possible 
through any SNMP compliant Network Management System (NMS). 
 
Traditional Switching 
 
The ESX provides Traditional Switching or future S
 
ECURE
 
F
 
AST
 
 
Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel 
interfaces as well as the high-speed uplink BRIM interface. This allows 
for future migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the 
replacement of existing infrastructure purchases.
 
IEEE 802.3 Compatibility 
 
The ESX provides IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support 
to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” 
conditions. The ESX supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs 
including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), and RFC 1493 
(Bridge MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide 
a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.
 
LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
 
The LANVIEW diagnostic and status monitoring LEDs serve as an 
important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the 
status of individual ports and overall network operations. Chapter 4 
provides details about the ESX LANVIEW LEDs. 
 
LCD Display
 
The front panel LCD Display provides information on power-up 
diagnostics, hardware and firmware revision levels, IP address, serial 
number, and alarms. This allows non-technical personnel to provide 
network technicians with basic information critical to the troubleshooting 
process through simple push-button operation. Chapter 4 provides details 
about the LCD Display.
