Fast Ethernet Repeater Management

Netelligent 2624 and 3612 repeaters contain a Management Daughtercard
(MDC100) that provides SNMP management through both in-band and out-of-
band communications. The 2624 uses a host/target management architecture.
The 3612 repeater uses a host/target management architecture in conjunction
with the repeater hardware to provide four-group RMON support (Statistics,
History, Alarm, and Event) in a stack of 100Base-T repeaters.
In addition to normal repeater operation, both managing repeaters (2624 and
3612) provide in-band and out-of-band management through a dedicated local
MAC port and the front panel DB9 COM port, described as follows:
In-band (or out-of-band via SLIP): SNMP, RMON (Model 3612), Telnet
console, and TFTP download
Out-of-band via VT100 interface: Same console as Telnet and firmware
upgrades
You can perform the following operations through the Compaq Netelligent
Management Software or other network management application:
Both 2624 and 3612 Models
Model 3612
Model 2624
NOTE: The repeater retains most configuration settings when powered down and
automatically re-initializes during the power-up cycle.
For more information about the repeater's management capabilities, see
Chapter 4, "Repeater Management."
