These layers are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) 7-layer reference model. Here is an example of that model. The RS 1000 operates within the layers that are not shaded. Notice that layer 2 is divided into a MAC layer, an LLC layer, and an LLC2 layer. The RS 1000 operates at the MAC and LLC layers.
Introduction SPECIFICATIONS The RS 1000’s hardware provides high-speed performance regardless of any performance monitoring, filtering, Quality of Service (QoS), or Access Control Lists (ACLs) enabled through the software. Performance is not compromised. The following table lists the RS 1000’s technical specifications.

L2 lookup table on the line card that received the packet from the network. The L2 lookup table indicates the exit port(s) for the bridged packet. If the packet is addressed to the RS 1000’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather than bridged.
Page 25
Note By default, the RS 1000 uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The RS 1000 can be configured to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for each IPX interface. When the RS 1000 receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one of the RS 1000’s IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the line card that...
Layer-4 Flows – The RS 1000 can store layer-4 flows on each line card. A layer-4 flow consists of the source and destination addresses in the IP or IPX packet combined with the TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for IP) or the source and destination socket (for IPX).
2.3.7 Statistics The RS 1000 can provide extensive statistical data on demand. You can access the following types of statistics: Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets in, packets out, CRC errors, and so on) Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics –...
Chapter 4, "Initial Configuration." SNMP MIBs and traps – The RS 1000 supports SNMP v1/v2 and many standard networking MIBs. The RS 1000’s SNMP agent is accessed using integration software such as HP OpenView 5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or Aprisma SPECTRUM on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x.
Section 2.4.4, "Line Cards." External Controls and Connections The RS 1000 has the following external controls and ports used for managing the RS 1000: • Male DB-9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software.
2.4.3 Power Supplies The RS 1000 uses one power supply, either an AC power supply or a DC power supply. You can make a choice of supply depending on your needs. AC Power Supply A single AC power supply provides enough current to operate a fully configured chassis. On the back end of the supply is the AC power cord socket.
(–) terminal, marked RTN; and a safety ground, marked GND. The DC supply is designed to be powered by a 48 Volt DC source. Use 12-gauge to 14-gauge wire to connect the 48-Volt source to the RS 1000’s DC power supply. Use 12- to 14-gauge wire for the safety ground.
3 inches of clearance on each side of the chassis. 2.4.4 Line Cards The following section describes the various line cards that can be installed in the RS 1000: 100BASE-FX Line Card The 100BASE-FX line card uses multimode fiber cable (MMF) to connect to the network.

• Never operate the RS 1000 with exposed expansion slots. • Never operate the RS 1000 if it becomes wet or the area where it has been installed is wet. 3.1.2 Preventing Equipment Damage To prevent damage to the RS 1000 components, observe the following warnings.
3.3.1 Verifying Your Shipment Before you begin installing your RS 1000, check your shipment to ensure that everything you ordered arrived securely. Open the shipping box(es) and verify that you received the following equipment: 3-2 Riverstone Networks RS 1000 Switch Router Getting Started Guide...
Installing Line Cards Before installing the RS 1000 into an equipment rack, it is recommended that you first install any expansion line cards that you may have ordered with the unit. Installing expansion line cards before rack mounting will prevent the need to remove the RS 1000 from its rack and remove the mounting hardware from the RS 1000 chassis.
Figure 3-1 Removing the RS 1000’s cover Slide the cover away from the front of the RS 1000 about one-half inch (1/2”), then lift the cover away. Be careful not to damage or remove any EMI gaskets around the edges of the cover.

Installing the RS 1000 into an Equipment Rack The RS 1000 is designed to be installed in a standard 19” equipment rack. To install the RS 1000 in an equipment rack, use the following procedure. You will need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver to perform this procedure.
RS 1000 is powered off. Align one of the mounting brackets over the corresponding holes in the side of the RS 1000. The mounting bracket is correctly positioned when the side with two open mounting holes is flush with the front of the RS 1000.
Connecting the Serial Management Cable Use the serial cable to connect the RS 1000 to a terminal (or to a PC running terminal emulation software) to perform initial setup and configuration. The RS 1000’s serial cable is a female to female DB-9 crossover cable.
Unused Unused a. The left hand column pin assignments are for the male DB-9 connector on the RS 1000. Pin 2 (TXD or “transmit data”) must emerge on the management console’s end of the connection as RXD (“receive data”). Connecting a 10/100BASE-TX Management Cable Use the RJ-45 10/100BASE-TX DTE port for connecting the RS 1000 to your network for in-band management through either Telnet or SNMP.

SETTING UP SNMP To use SNMP to manage the RS 1000, you need to set up an SNMP community and specifying the IP address of the target host for SNMP traps. Otherwise, the RS 1000’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode, unless disabled using the command.
Applying ACLs to SNMP When using SNMP v1 or v2, it is important to protect your RS 1000 by applying an Access Control List (ACL) to the SNMP agent to prevent unauthorized access and route your SNMP traffic through trusted networks only.
Initial Configuration Setting Up SNMP For additional information about RS 1000 security and ACLs, see the Riverstone RS Switch Router User Guide. 4.6.3 Supported MIBs The following lists the MIBs that are supported by the RS 1000 SNMP agent. Table 4-4...
For example, you can use a device’s name (which the DNS server knows) when using the command. ping If you want the RS 1000 to access a DNS server, use the following procedure to specify the domain name and IP address for the DNS server. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the command in the CLI.
