Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) Module for the StackPro II
10/100 Dual-Speed Hub. The module will allow you to control
your hub's activity through advanced SNMP and Remote
Monitoring (RMON) features, as well as adding network secu-
rity and increased data negotiation capabilities.
Since the StackPro II hubs can stack up to six high, you can
manage your entire stack with only one SNMP module. You
can configure protocols, partition ports on any hub in the
stack, set port speeds, manage 100BaseFX fiber optic distance
extender modules, monitor traffic, and perform a host of other
duties to make your network more secure, and to allow your
data to travel as smoothly and error-free as possible. The mod-
ule provides you with the choice of using a command console
interface or a web-based interface to configure your network's
management settings.
As your network needs grow, your StackPro II 10/100 Dual-
Speed Hub Management Module can be updated - just log on
to the Linksys web site, at http://www.linksys.com, and down-
load the latest free firmware upgrade.
