CHAPTER 1 Introduction This chapter introduces and shows you how to access the EMS (Element Management System). 1.1 Overview The Element Management System (EMS) retrieves management information from switches using SNMP protocol. An EMS is composed of Network Elements (NE) that represent resources in a Network Management System (NMS). The network elements can represent a physical piece of equipment on the network, the components of a device on the network, or parts of the network itself.
Chapter 1 Introduction Figure 2 EMS Server and Remote Clients RC S 1.1.2 SNMPc Network Manager SNMPc is network management software produced by Castle Rock. You must have SNMPc properly installed before you can use the EMS.

Table 65 Switch Configuration: Priority Queue 146 LABELS DESCRIPTION Priority Queue Assignment IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame that contains bits to define class of service. Frames without an explicit priority tag are given the default priority of the ingress port.
Chapter 14 Switch Configuration 14.3 Multiple/ Rapid STP Configuration STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a device to interact with other STP-aware devices in your network to ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on the network. Refer to the user’s guide that comes with your switch for more information. Use the Multiple STP Conf.
Chapter 14 Switch Configuration Table 66 Switch Configuration: Multiple STP Conf. (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Hello Time This is the maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without receiving a BPDU before attempting to reconfigure. All device ports (except for designated ports) should receive BPDUs at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STP information (provided in the last BPDU) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN.
Chapter 14 Switch Configuration 14.4.1 Dynamic Link Aggregation This feature is not available on all models. The switch adheres to the IEEE 802.3ad standard for static and dynamic (LACP) port trunking. The switch supports the link aggregation IEEE 802.3ad standard.
