These layers are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) 7-layer reference model. Here is an example of that model. The RS 2000 operates within the layers that are not shaded. Notice that layer 2 is divided into a MAC layer, an LLC layer, and an LLC2 layer. The RS 2000 operates at the MAC and LLC layers.
RS 2000 Introduction SPECIFICATIONS The RS 2000 provides high-speed switching and full non-blocking throughput. The hardware provides high-speed performance regardless of the performance monitoring, filtering, and Quality of Service (QoS) features enabled by the software. You do not need to accept performance compromises to run QoS or Access Control Lists (ACLs).

L2 lookup table on the line card that received the packet from the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit port(s) for the bridged packet. If the packet is addressed to the RS 2000’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather than bridged.
Page 27
Note By default, the RS 2000 uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The RS 2000 can be configured to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for each IPX interface. When the RS 2000 receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one of the RS 2000’s IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the line card that...
Layer-4 Flows – The RS 2000 can store layer-4 flows on each line card. A layer-4 flow consists of the source and destination addresses in the IP or IPX packet combined with the TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for IP) or the source and destination socket (for IPX).
2.3.7 Statistics The RS 2000 can provide extensive statistical data on demand. You can access the following types of statistics: Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets in, packets out, CRC errors, and so on) Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics –...
"RS 2000 Initial Configuration." SNMP MIBs and traps – The RS 2000 supports SNMP v1/v2 and many standard networking MIBs. The RS 2000’s SNMP agent is accessed using integration software such as HP OpenView 5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or Aprisma SPECTRUM on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x.

• Never operate the RS 2000 with exposed expansion slots. • Never operate the RS 2000 if it becomes wet or the area where it has been installed is wet. 3.1.2 Preventing Equipment Damage To prevent damage to the RS 2000 components, observe the following warnings.
This section provides detailed information regarding these procedures. 3.3.1 Verifying Your Shipment Before you begin installing your RS 2000, check your shipment to ensure that everything you ordered arrived securely. Open the shipping box(es) and verify that you received the following equipment: •...
Installation Before installing the RS 2000 into an equipment rack, it is recommended that you first install any expansion line cards that you may have ordered with the unit. Installing expansion line cards before rack mounting will prevent the need to remove the RS 2000 from its rack and remove the mounting hardware from the RS 2000 chassis.
Use the screws provided and the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to affix the line card’s face plate to the chassis.

Line up the two screw holes at the back of the line card and insert the vertical female connector at the back of the line card into the male connector on the RS 2000’s motherboard. The female and male connectors are not keyed, so it is possible to misalign Warning the connection.
Figure 3-1). Slide the cover away from the front of the RS 2000 about one-half inch (1/2”), then lift the cover away. Be careful not to damage or remove any EMI gaskets around the edges of the cover. Use the #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four mounting screws that secure the cover plate...
Installing the RS 2000 into an Equipment Rack The RS 2000 is designed to be installed in a standard 19” equipment rack. To install the RS 2000 in an equipment rack, use the following procedure; you will need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to perform this procedure.

The commands from the Startup configuration file and any configuration commands that you have made active from the scratchpad. Startup The configuration file that the RS 2000 uses to configure itself when the system is powered on. The active configuration remains in effect only during the current power cycle. Caution If you power off or reboot the RS 2000 without saving the active configuration changes to the Startup configuration file, the changes are lost.

SETTING UP PASSWORDS You can password-protect CLI access to the RS 2000 by setting up passwords for User mode access and Enable mode access. Users who have a User password but not an Enable password can use only the commands available in User mode.
Setting Up Passwords 4.5.1 If You Forget Your Passwords If you forget your passwords follow this procedure to regain access to your RS 2000. To perform this procedure, you must use a terminal or PC running terminal Note emulation software that is connected directly to the RS 2000 through its DB-9 console port.

SETTING UP SNMP To use SNMP to manage the RS 2000, you need to set up an SNMP community and specifying the IP address of the target host for SNMP traps. Otherwise, the RS 2000’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode, unless disabled using the command.
Applying ACLs to SNMP When using SNMP v1 or v2, it is important to protect your RS 2000 by applying an Access Control List (ACL) to the SNMP agent to prevent unauthorized access and route your SNMP traffic through trusted networks only.
RS 2000 Initial Configuration Setting Up SNMP For additional information about RS 2000 security and ACLs, see the Rivertsone Networks RS Switch Router User Guide. 4.6.3 Supported MIBs The following lists the MIBs that are supported by the RS 2000 SNMP agent.
For example, you can use a device’s name (which the DNS server knows) when using the command. ping If you want the RS 2000 to access a DNS server, use the following procedure to specify the domain name and IP address for the DNS server. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the command in the CLI.
