RMON, and Autotopology
™
for a selected segment.
• The BayStack 100-series SA Advanced Analyzer Network
Management Module (Advanced Analyzer NMM) provides all of
the features of the Advanced NMM, plus line speed on all nine
groups of RMON network management for a selected segment.
– Management extension ports enable a single NMM to provide
Standard management to remote cascades
– Support for BaySecure
™
LAN access, providing eavesdrop protection,
intrusion control, move and change control, and an audit trail for a
high level of security for Advanced and Advanced Analyzer NMMs
– Support for Optivity
®
network management software on all platforms
– Communications port with read only/read-write password
authorization for NMM configuration through an RS-232 terminal,
personal computer or modem
• Realtime network monitoring including data and collision LED meters,
hub and expansion slot segment assignment LEDs, port link and partition
status LEDs, and power and initialization status LEDs.
• Fault-tolerant design
– Automatic detection of the top and bottom hubs in the stack and
termination applied to the cascade (If any hub fails or loses power, the
cascade will automatically bypass that hub.)
– Automatic save and restore process for all hub configurations in the
stack through power cycles and hub replacements
– Redundant power option
– Redundant clock crystals to allow a backup hub to provide the clock
for the entire stack (Should the hub providing the clock fail, another
hub will automatically take over that function for the stack.)
