Snmp Mib Support; Autosensing And Autonegotiation - Bay Networks BayStack 350 Using Manual

SNMP MIB Support

The BayStack 350 switch supports an SNMP agent with industry standard MIBs,
as well as private MIB extensions, which ensures compatibility with existing
network management tools. The BayStack 350 switch supports MIB-II
(RFC 1213) and the RMON MIB (RFC 1757), which provide access to detailed
management statistics. With SNMP management, you can configure SNMP traps
(on individual ports) to be generated automatically for conditions such as an
unauthorized access attempt or changes in a port's operating status.

Autosensing and Autonegotiation

BayStack 350 switches are autosensing and autonegotiating devices:
•
•
Autosensing is used when the attached device is not capable of autonegotiation or
is using a form of autonegotiation that is not compatible with the IEEE 802.3u
autonegotiation standard. In this case, because it is not possible to sense the
duplex mode of the attached device, the BayStack 350 switch reverts to
half-duplex mode.
When autonegotiation-capable devices are attached to the BayStack 350 switch,
the switch ports negotiate down from 100 Mb/s speed and full-duplex mode until a
supported speed and duplex mode is acknowledged by the attached device.
For more information about autosensing and autonegotiation modes, see
"Autonegotiation Modes" on page 4-6.

The term autosense refers to a port's ability to sense the speed of an attached
device.
The term autonegotiation refers to a standardized protocol (IEEE 802.3u) that
exists between two IEEE 802.3u-capable devices. Autonegotiation allows the
BayStack 350 switch to select the best of both speed and duplex modes.
