Features of the CoreBuilder 2500 System

The CoreBuilder 2500 system combines Ethernet,
FDDI, and Fast Ethernet switching, Ethernet-to-FDDI
transparent bridging, VLAN, ATM, and intranetwork
routing in a single system. These concepts are
described in detail in the CoreBuilder 2500
Operation Guide and the CoreBuilder 2500
Extended Switching User Guide. By choosing the
right mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, and ATM
plug-in modules, you can maximize the performance
of your network.
CoreBuilder switching hubs include integrated
management to provide fault tolerance and
maximum network availability. System management
is accessible using:
CoreBuilder system's Administration Console
Transcend Enterprise Manager for UNIX and
Windows, 3Com's SNMP-based network
management software for LAN switching systems
Standard network manager based on SNMP,
such as SunNet Manager, HP OpenView, or IBM's
Netview AIX
The following sections identify and describe the
major components of the CoreBuilder 2500 system.
