NOTE If you are using the SFP uplink port to connect the ReachNXT 100-8t to the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch, you must power the ReachNXT 100-8t using AC power. Support for ReachNXT 100-8t...
  • Page 7: Monitoring The Reachnxt 100-8T

    Monitoring the ReachNXT 100-8t When the ReachNXT 100-8t is operational, it is visible in your network either from the uplinked ExtremeXOS switch or using EPICenter network management software. The ReachNXT 100-8t sends LLDP Data Units (LLDPDUs) to the uplinked switch every 30 seconds. The LLDPDUs contain type-length-value elements (TLVs) for Chassis ID, Port ID, TTL, System Name, and System Description.
