When you insert and extract either of the power supplies, the system generates SNMP traps. - Page 30 WITCHING OFTWARE EVISION 3Com recommends that you hot-swap one module at a time (except FESMs and FSMs, as described in the previous System Issue). After you hot-swap one module, wait until the system completes full initialization before you install another module. One indication that initialization is complete is that the Administration Console prompt appears.

The FESM FDDI MAC rxFrames, txFrames, rxBytes, and txBytes statistics can report inaccurate values. CoreBuilder 6000 system software does not route FDDI multicast frames that are larger than 1500 bytes (that is, frames that require fragmentation). The NVRAM conversion for SNMP traps does not adjust correctly after you install CoreBuilder software revision 8.2.3. - Page 33 Known Problems Roving Analysis cannot monitor outgoing routed packets. FCS error statistics report inaccurate values on the TMM-FE’s port. You cannot modify the port specification of an IP interface that is defined on the LMM+ module. To modify the port specification, remove the IP interface and define it again.

(RMON) EMOTE ONITORING ECHNOLOGY This appendix provides an overview of RMON and describes the specific CoreBuilder RMON implementation. ™ What Is RMON? The Remote Monitoring (RMON) Management Information Base (MIB) provides a way to monitor and analyze a local area network LAN from a remote location. -
Page 54: Benefits Of Rmon
You can gain access to the RMON capabilities of the CoreBuilder 6000 system only through SNMP applications such as Transcend® Enterprise Manager software, not through the serial interface or telnet. For more information about the details of managing 3Com devices using RMON, see the user documentation of 3Com’s Transcend Network Management for Windows... -

Page 58: Setting Alarm Thresholds
B: R (RMON) T PPENDIX EMOTE ONITORING ECHNOLOGY When you disable a port, the application might not update some of the statistics counters associated with it. An alarm calculates the difference in counter values over a set time interval and remembers the high and low values. When the value of a counter exceeds a preset threshold, the alarm reports this occurrence. -
Page 59: Rmon Hysteresis Mechanism
RMON Groups You can associate an alarm with the high threshold, the low threshold, or both. The actions taken because of an alarm depend on the network management application. RMON Hysteresis Mechanism The RMON hysteresis mechanism provides a way to prevent small fluctuations in counter values from causing alarms. -
Page 60: Hosttopn Group
LAN separated by a bridge or router, the cost of implementing many probes in a large network can be high. To solve this problem, 3Com has built an inexpensive RMON probe into the Transcend SmartAgent software in each CoreBuilder 6000 system. This probe allows you to deploy RMON widely around the network at a cost of no more than that for traditional network monitors. -
Page 61: Management Information Base (Mib
The organization of a MIB allows a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) network management package such as the Transcend Enterprise Manager application suite to manage a network device without a specific description of that device. 3Com ships SNMP MIB files with CoreBuilder Extended Switching System software as ASN.1 files. -

Page 65: Protocol-Sensitive Vlans
About VLANs Protocol-Sensitive VLANS When the CoreBuilder system receives data that has a broadcast, multicast, or unknown destination address, it forwards the data to all ports. This process is referred to as bridge flooding. Protocol-sensitive VLANs group one or more switch ports together for a specified network layer 3 protocol, such as IP or AppleTalk. -

Page 67: Modifying The Default Vlan
About VLANs Modifying the Default VLAN New switch ports can dynamically appear in the CoreBuilder system if you insert a new switching module (FESM, FSM). When a new switch port that is not part of a default VLAN appears in the system at initialization, the system software adds that switch port to the first default VLAN defined in the system. -

Page 69: Overlapped Ip Vlans
About VLANs Overlapped IP The CoreBuilder system also gives you the ability to assign network layer information to IP VLANs. This capability allows network VLANs administrators to manage their VLANs by subnetwork. Flooding decisions are made by first matching the incoming frame using the protocol (IP) and then matching it with layer 3 subnetwork information. -
Page 70: Routing Between Vlans
C: VLAN PPENDIX S ON THE UILDER YSTEM Routing Between The only way for stations that are in two different VLANs to communicate is to route between them. The CoreBuilder system VLANs supports internal routing among IP, IPX, and AppleTalk VLANs. If VLANs are configured for other routable network layer protocols, they can communicate between them only via an external router. -
