  • Page 194: Overview

    The TL1 infrastructure on Remote RMX-3200 consists of TL1 multiplexers and virtual TL1 NEs (VNEs). A TL1 multiplexer is a software component that uses TIDs to multiplex several TL1 data streams onto a single TCP connection. It can be configured to connect to varbinds, real TL1 NEs and scripts that generate TL1.

Command level authorization requires Remote RMX-3200 to contact the TACACS+ server for each command the user runs. Individual commands are then allowed or denied. Privilege level authorization configures the TACACS+ authorization method based on the privilege returned from the TACACS+ server.

    The SNMP trap queue saves SNMP traps when network connectivity is lost. When the network comes back up, the SNMP traps are sent. This feature accommodates wireless connections on Remote RMX-3200, which are less reliable than regular connections. When trap queuing is enabled, pings are sent to SNMP hosts before traps are sent.
