Welcome to the 2M46-04R/04RDC SmartSwitch 2000 User’s Guide. This guide describes the 2M46-04R and 2M46-04RDC SmartSwitch 2000 devices and provides information concerning network requirements, installation, troubleshooting, and the use of Local Management. The 2M46-04R and 2M46-04RDC have identical features and NOTE functions with the exception of their power source connection.
2M46-04R OVERVIEW The 2M46-04R, shown in switching device that supports traditional switching (bridging), IEEE 802.1Q switching (port based VLANs), and Cabletron Systems SecureFast Switching Virtual Network technology. The 2M46-04R also has redundant power supplies. Ports 1 and 2 on the 2M46-04R support optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and can provide uplinks to 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet networks.
The 2M46-04R is a tabletop unit that can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied rack mounting hardware. The 2M46-04R has two ac power supplies. The power supplies load share 50% (+/-5%) of the power required by the device. If one power supply fails, the remaining power supply assumes the entire load of the device without interruption to network traffic.
All purchased bandwidth is used. • Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance. • Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum flexibility. For more information about SmartTrunk, refer to the Cabletron Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide. 2M46-04R/2M46-04RDC User’s Guide...
1.3.5 Runtime IP Address Discovery This feature enables the 2M46-04R to automatically accept an IP address from a BootP server on the network into NVRAM without requiring the user to enter an IP address through Local Management. When the 2M46-04R is connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the 2M46-04R for an IP address.
MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1271 (RMON), RFC 1317 (RS232 MIB), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB), RFC 1573 (Evolution of MIB II Interfaces), and RFC 1354 (FIB MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.
1.3.11 Optional Features Options for the 2M46-04R include Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and High Speed Interface Modules to add uplink capability. Cabletron Systems provides Fast Ethernet Interface Modules to support uplinks to 100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or high speed connections to local servers. The Fast Ethernet Interface Modules are listed in Table 1-1 Fast Ethernet Interface Modules Description...
