1.6 NMC (SNMP) The FRM220 must be ordered with an NMC Card. The card is placed in the far left, number one card slot. Management is accomplished either via local control on the asynchronous RS-232 port with an ASCII terminal or via Ethernet and any standard SNMP network management software that supports MIB-II.
See below for a brief of the linecards at the time of this printing. Please refer to the latest version of FRM220 NMC User Manual for details of all the line card options for the FRM220.
The 10/100iS-2 card is managed by an on-card CPU when installed in the FRM220 CH20 chassis. There are no DIP switches or manual settings. If the MC is placed stand-alone, without local or remote connection to FRM220 NMC management, the two separate MC run with default parameters. The default parameters are: switch mode, auto-negotiation, LFP disabled, ALS (Auto Laser Shutdown) disabled, and no bandwidth limit.
