1 Introduction This chapter introduces the 2H258-17R SmartSwitch 2200 device and provides information about how to obtain additional support from Enterasys Networks. Important Notice Depending on the firmware version used in the 2H258-17R, some features described in this document may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the 2H258-17R to determine which features are supported. 1.
Overview The 2H258-17R is used to connect individual high-bandwidth user devices, such as workstations, or to provide a central switching point for multiple 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet segments. The optional HSIMs provide high speed uplinks to networking technologies such as Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Wide Area Network (WAN), and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). Some HSIMs can provide additional Fast Ethernet ports in varying media types.
Overview The RAD requests start at an interval of 1 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. NOTE: The 2H258-17R will reboot after RAD is successful. 1.1.
Overview 1.1.6 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 device. 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 1.1.9 Flow Control Flow control is a method of managing the flow of frames between two devices. It ensures that a transmitting device does not overwhelm a receiving device with data. This is accomplished by the transmitting device pausing its transmission while the receiving device processes the frames already received. The 2H258-17R supports the following two types of flow control: • Frame based 802.3x • Back pressure Frame based 802.
Overview 1.1.12 Management Management of the 2H258-17R is accomplished using SNMP compliant management tools for in-band Local Management. Out-of-band Local Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.
