RUGGEDCOM ROX II
User Guide
• Broadcast Storm Filtering
Broadcast storms wreak havoc on a network and can cause attached devices to malfunction. This could be
disastrous on a network with mission critical equipment. ROX II limits this by filtering broadcast frames with a
user-defined threshold.
• Port Mirroring
ROX II can be configured to duplicate all traffic on one port to a designated mirror port. When combined with a
network analyzer, this can be a powerful troubleshooting tool.
• Port Configuration and Status
ROX II allows individual ports to be hard configured for speed, duplex, auto-negotiation, flow control and more.
This allows proper connection with devices that do not negotiate or have unusual settings. Detailed status of
ports with alarm and SNMP trap on link problems aid greatly in system troubleshooting.
• Port Statistics and RMON (Remote Monitoring)
ROX II provides continuously updating statistics per port that provide both ingress and egress packet and byte
counters, as well as detailed error figures.
Also provided is full support for RMON statistics. RMON allows for very sophisticated data collection, analysis
and detection of traffic patterns.
• Event Logging and Alarms
ROX II records all significant events to a non-volatile system log allowing forensic troubleshooting. Events
include link failure and recovery, unauthorized access, broadcast storm detection, and self-test diagnostics
among others. Alarms provide a snapshot of recent events that have yet to be acknowledged by the network
administrator. An external hardware relay is de-energized during the presence of critical alarms, allowing an
external controller to react if desired.
• HTML Web Browser User Interface
ROX II provides a simple, intuitive user interface for configuration and monitoring via a standard graphical Web
browser or via a standard telcom user interface. All system parameters include detailed online help to make
setup a breeze. ROX II presents a common look and feel and standardized configuration process, allowing
easy migration to other RUGGEDCOM managed products.
• Command Line Interface (CLI)
A command line interface used in conjunction with remote shell to automate data retrieval, configuration
updates, and firmware upgrades. A powerful Telecom Standard style Command Line Interface (CLI) allows
expert users the ability to selectively retrieve or manipulate any parameters the device has to offer.
• Link Backup
Link backup provides an easily configured means of raising a backup link upon the failure of a designated
main link. The main and backup links can be Ethernet, Cellular, T1/E1, DDS or T3. The feature can back up to
multiple remote locations, managing multiple main: backup link relationships. The feature can also back up a
permanent high speed WAN link to a permanent low speed WAN link and can be used to migrate the default
route from the main to the backup link.
• OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
OSPF is a routing protocol that determines the best path for routing IP traffic over a TCP/IP network based on
link states between nodes and several quality parameters. OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), which
is designed to work within an autonomous system. It is also a link state protocol, meaning the best route is
determined by the type and speed of the inter-router links, not by how many router hops they are away from
each other (as in distance-vector routing protocols such as RIP).
• BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
