Fast Ethernet Repeater Management

The managed 100Base-T repeater (Model 3612) contains a Management
Daughtercard (MDC100), which provides SNMP management through both in-
band and out-of-band communications. This repeater uses a master/slave
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, all managing repeaters provide in-
band and out-of-band management via a dedicated local MAC port and the
front panel, DB9, COM port:
You can perform the following operations via a network management
application, such as the HubView Network Management System:
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."

Internal DIP Switch

If management is not available for the repeater, you can isolate a repeater's
collision domain from the other repeaters in the stack by setting an internal DIP
switch. This switch is accessible through the Power Supply A or B opening.
In-band (or out-of-band via SLIP): SNMP, RMON, Telnet console, and
TFTP download
Out-of-band via VT100 interface: Same console as Telnet and firmware
upgrades
Select the backplane
Enable or disable ports
Enable port intrusion and security
Monitor port link status, port partition/enable status, and port statistics
