Management of the Distance Extender Modules
Using the management interfaces that are provided by the
management module, you can:
■
Enable and disable the Distance Extender Module port.
■
View traffic statistics, the link status and the port state.
Management of a Different Hub or Stack
If you have connected a different unit or stack to the Dual Speed
Hub 500 stack with a Cascade Converter Kit, you can use the web
interface that is provided by the management module to access the
attached stack’s management screens. For information on doing this,
refer to
“Accessing a Different Hub or Stack”
on
page 101
. You can
use the Dual Speed Hub 500 – Hub 10 Cascade Converter Kit to
connect a Hub 10 stack to the Dual Speed Hub 500 stack.
Removing Management From the Hub
If the management module is removed from the hub (or the hub is
separated from a unit with a module in it), there is a 3 minute period
during which the hub remains managed (this is so that it is not
affected by any quick disconnections between the units in the stack).
If the hub does not have access to a management module after that
period, the hub can no longer be managed but retains its
configuration so that it can continue to operate as configured.
Without a management module, the hub cannot:
■
Respond to any type of management communication
■
Perform resilient links
■
Generate SNMP traps
■
Perform RMON
