  • Page 19: Connectivity

    CONNECTIVITY The module connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through the front panel connectors. The ports support Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms at lengths up to 100 meters. The ports are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX compliant. RUNTIME IP ADDRESS DISCOVERY This feature enables the module to automatically accept an IP address from a Boot Strap Protocol (BootP) server on the network without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local...
  • Page 20: Remote Monitoring (Rmon)

    The module supports all nine Ethernet RMON groups. The Statistics, Alarms, Events and History groups are enabled on all ports by default. Enterasys Networks RMON Actions is a vendor-specific extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON Event and/or Alarm.
  • Page 21: Traffic Rate Limiting

    VLAN classification of the frames received. Multiple VLANs can be directed to the same destination port. The VLAN redirect function is only supported when the module is operating as an 802.1Q switch. TRAFFIC RATE LIMITING The Traffic Rate Limiting feature enables the module to control traffic rates on a per-port, per-priority basis.
  • Page 22: Garp Switch Operation

    GARP attributes such as VLAN and multicast group membership. For more details on how GVRP and GMRP handle frames under GARP, and how to configure the switch ports to take advantage of this operation, refer to the Matrix E7 Series and SmartSwitch 6000 Series Local Management User’s Guide.
  • Page 23: Management

    The SmartSwitch 6000 chassis can be viewed as a single entity with a single IP address. Its systems management functions are distributed to all modules, including the 6H302-48 or 6H303-48. The chassis can be managed using a single IP address, or the modules can be managed separately by individual IP addresses.
