Management

Management of the 6H123-50 and 6H133-37 is accomplished using
SNMP compliant management tools for in-band Local Management.
Out-of-band Local Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port
on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.
In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant
Network Management Software.
Local Management provides the ability to manage the 6H123-50 and
6H133-37 and any of the optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules
installed in slots 5 and 6 of the 6H123-50, or an optional High Speed
Interface Module (HSIM) in a 6H133-37.
The associated HSIM user's guide provides detailed information about
the HSIM Local Management.
1.3.6

Switching Options

The 6H123-50 and 6H133-37 provide 802.1D switching, 802.1Q
switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all
of the front panel interfaces including Fast Ethernet Interface Modules
installed in a 6H123-50 or an HSIM installed in a 6H133-37.
IEEE 802.1Q switching and SecureFast switching allow for future
migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the
replacement of existing equipment.
1.3.7

Standards Compatibility

The 6H123-50 and 6H133-37 are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3
standard and the IEEE 802.3u standard. The optional Fast Ethernet
Interface Modules are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard.
The 6H123-50 and 6H133-37 provide IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree
Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network
and protect against "loop" conditions. The 6H123-50 and 6H133-37
support a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213
(MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) and RFC 1354
(FIB MIB). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a
wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.
