This chapter gives an overview of the Revision 8.3.1 Extended Switching
software and describes the enhanced Administration Console menus.
The CoreBuilder 2500 Extended Switching software replaces your
™
existing CoreBuilder 2500 software and adds new functionality to your
system. Extended Switching software contains all of the features of
CoreBuilder 2500 Intelligent Switching software and adds these features:
Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Internet Protocol (IP) routing, an enhanced version that includes:
UDP Helper support for overlapped IP interfaces
Enhanced IP Routing Information Protocol (RIP) administration
IP multicast routing
Classical IP routing over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
Internet Packet Exchange (IPX) routing
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing
AppleTalk routing
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
The RMON feature is available only through an SNMP connection, not
through the Administration Console. See Chapter 15 for details.
For information about how to gain access to online help, use scripts, and
use the Administration Console, see the CoreBuilder 2500 Administration
Console User Guide.
for information about how to install Extended Switching software on
your CoreBuilder 2500 system, see the CoreBuilder 2500 Extended
Switching Software Installation and Release Notes.
