Management
The 9F426-02 module has two full implementations of SMT (Version 7.3), one per
interface, and SNMP for local and remote management. Local management is
provided through the RS-232 COM ports on the SmartSwitch 9000 Environmental
Module using a standard VT-220 terminal or emulator. Remote management is
possible through Cabletron’s SPECTRUM or any SNMP compliant management
tool as well as telneting to the module. Management features including module
insert/bypass control, MAC placement, front panel/FNB configuration, and SMT
statistics. Switching statistics on both FDDI interfaces provide frames filtered,
frames forwarded, and all Spanning Tree Protocol parameters. The 9F426-02
module supports the IETF FDDI MIB (RFC-1512), IETF MIB ll (RFC-1213), IETF
BRIDGE MIB (RFC-1493), and a host of Cabletron enterprise MIBs. In addition,
the front panel provides LEDs for FDDI link status per port, as well as transmit
and receive activity.
Connectivity
The 9F426-02 module has one interface to the INB-2, two front panel FDDI
interfaces, or two FNB interfaces to the SmartSwitch 9000 FNB backplane. The
front panel connections are via standard Cabletron FPIMs. The INB-1 interface is
fixed, however, and the two FDDI interfaces can attach to one or both of the front
panel connectors, one or both of the FNB interfaces (FDDI-1 or FDDI-2), or one of
each.
Management Information Base (MIB) Support
Both 9F426-02 provides MIB support including:
•
IETF FDDI MIB
•
IETF MIB II
•
IETF Bridge MIB
•
a host of Cabletron Enterprise MIBs.
LANVIEW LEDs
The 9F426-02 uses LANVIEW – the Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic
and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify
the device, port, and physical layer status at a glance.
For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the
9F426-02 package.
