Management Module Features
With the Management Module, you can now address the problems of a busy
and growing network with the following features:
■ Port Switching. Gives you the ability to move ports onto one of four
network segments to increase network throughput
■ Management. Ability to configure, diagnose and troubleshoot net-
work problems using two software interfaces: HP AdvanceStack
Assistant for graphical in-band network connections; and a text-based
application, called the ASCII console, for out-of-band management
port access.
■ Redundant Management. If one management module fails, another
one in the stack takes over. This means no network downtime.
■ Advanced SNMP Management. Using RMON and EASE to diagnose
network problems to help optimize network performance.
Only one Management Module is needed to manage and configure an entire
stack of hubs. A stack has a maximum of eight hubs. These features are
described in this chapter.
