  • Page 8: Introduction

    OptiSwitch-100/100F Introduction The OptiSwitch-100/F is a robust switch platform, representing the next generation in switching technology. It boasts a combination of cutting-edge hardware architecture, a rich set of Virtual LAN (VLAN) options and advanced network management features. The functional difference between the OptiSwitch-100 and the OptiSwitch-100F is that the latter supports one high density fiber optic module in the free slot and is slightly taller.

    (dport) for accommodating an optional module. Typical Configuration The OptiSwitch-100/F switch can connect up to twenty-four 10/100Mbps ports and with a slot (dport) for accommodating an optional module Figure 2 illustrates various connection possibilities: Two OptiSwitch-100/F switches ,with Gigabit Ethernet uplink modules, located in different buildings can be connected via MM or SM fiber optic cable to a Gigabit Ethernet backbone.

  • Page 48: Spanning Tree Protocol (Stp)

    OptiSwitch-100/100F Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) The switch software supports {xe "Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)"}IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) which ensures the existence of a loop-free topology in networks that contain any arrangement of devices. STP produces a logical tree topology to ensure that a single path exists between any two end stations on an interconnected network.

  • Page 49: Parameters

    They are not compatible with other STP versions that do not conform to this specification (for example, the DEC STP implementation). If you install a OptiSwitch-100/F switch in a network where other devices are using non- conforming (i.e., not 802.1D) STP, you must make sure that no loops exist in the network topology.
  • Page 50 OptiSwitch-100/100F • A Root interface gives up its Root status and the topology state is changing. • A switch receives a TCN BPDU from another unit via a non-Root interface.

  • Page 51: Using Stp To Manage Redundant Links

    OptiSwitch-100/100F • An interface's state changes (it enters the Forwarding state) . When a Root interface receives a TCN BPDU, it sets a Topology Changing flag in its Hello BPDU for an interval that is twice the length of the Forward Timer. When a non-Root interface receives a Hello BPDU with this flag set, it quickly ages its dynamic filter s so that it can relearn its filters based on the new topology.

    OptiSwitch-100/100F SNMP Community strings authenticate access to the MIB (Management Information Base). Community strings function as passwords embedded in every SNMP packet. The community string must match one of the two community strings configured in the switch for the message to be processed.

  • Page 87: Snmp Traps

    OptiSwitch-100/100F SNMP Traps{xe "SNMP Traps"} Traps are notices that the switch sends to an SNMP manager indicating a specific event has occurred, or the condition of a unit has changed significantly. SNMP Traps are disabled by default. NOTE: Trap messages do not provide an entirely reliable event notification mechanism; they can get dropped, and are not acknowledged or retransmitted once dropped.
