2.2.4 System Management

The GRF currently supports the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) Version 1, which provides a mechanism for remote query or setting
operational parameters for the device. Media cards collect network statistics,
which can be reported to network management packages via the Router
Manager on the IP Switch Control Board. In addition to collection statistics
and other management information, the SNMP agent is also capable of
issuing traps. For more information, see Section 2.4.5, "SP Extension Node
SNMP Manager" on page 58.

2.3 GRF Hardware

As already mentioned, the unique GRF switching architecture is specially
designed for high-performance packet forwarding. The following sections give
you more details about the various hardware components.
