Overview 1.1.1 Connectivity The SmartSwitch modules connect to Ethernet networks or workstations through the RJ45 ports on the front panel. These ports are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX compliant. The ports support Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair cables with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms at lengths up to 100 meters for both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet connections. They also support Category 3 for 10 Mbps, but not 100 Mbps Ethernet connections.
Overview The RAD requests start at an interval of one per 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 RARP or BootP server, or an IP address is entered using Local Management. The module will reboot after RAD is successful. NOTE 1.1.
Overview 1.1.7 Broadcast Suppression Broadcast Suppression enables a user to set a desired limit of receive broadcast frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports on the module up to the set limit. Any broadcast frames above this specified limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched. 1.1.
Overview 1.1.10 GARP Switch Operation Some or all ports on the switch may be activated to operate under the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) applications, GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) and/or GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP). GARP is a protocol, or set of rules, that outlines a mechanism for propagating the port state and/or user information throughout a bridged LAN to keep track of users and VLANs on the network fabric.
Overview 1.1.13 Management Management of the SmartSwitch modules and the 6C105 chassis is accomplished using the Local Management application or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.
