| *VNswitch 900FX* - A high-throughput, SNMP manageable, multiport Fast Ethernet/FDDI switch | |
Ports
Two Fast Ethernet ports
One DAS/SAS FDDI port
Configuration Can be configured:
In a MultiSwitch 900 or
As a standalone unit in a DEChub ONE or DEChub ONE-MX
docking station
Description
===========
The VNswitch 900FX is a high-throughput, Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) manageable, multiport network switch for linking Fast Ethernet and
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks. The VNswitch 900FX module
provides two Fast Ethernet ports and one Dual Attachment Station (DAS)
/Single Attachment Station (SAS) FDDI port. The VNswitch 900FX can be
configured in a DIGITAL MultiSwitch 900 or as a standalone unit in a DEChub
ONE or DEChub ONE-MX docking station.
Features
========
Hot-swapping capabilities
Configuration and management options:
Auto-configuring at power-up
Support for up to 256 internal addresses for management and
other purposes
Manageability via SNMP and the Command Line Interface (CLI)
management via Telnet or an attached terminal device, or both
Upgradeable device firmware (in nonvolatile flash memory)
using TFTP with clearVISN Flash Loader or in a DEChub ONE through
the OBM port with any TFTP server
A built-in SNMP management agent supporting a comprehensive
graphical user interface (GUI), using the DIGITAL clearVISN
MultiChassis Manager, that is identical for both in-band and
out-of-band management
Support for up to approximately 8,000 network addresses
Support for a Load/Dump/Management (LDM) port that allows
upline dumps and downline loads of operational images
User-configured rate limiting for broadcast and multicast
packets by address and specified protocol
Support for backplane LANs by allowing all ports to be
directed (through management software, such as the clearVISN
MultiChassis Manager) to the MultiSwitch 900 backplane
Usable with other VNswitch 900 modules to create various
configurations involving Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, FDDI, and ATM by
connecting over the 400 Mb/s VNbus
The following bridging features and options are available:
High-speed local traffic filtering and forwarding
Full line-rate bridge forwarding - up to 750,000
packets-per-second per module
Compliant with the spanning tree loop detection protocol,
IEEE 802.1d
Support for multiple spanning trees with the ability to turn
off the spanning tree algorithm on individual switch ports on a
per-port basis
The following Ethernet features are available:
Half- and full-duplex operation over the Fast Ethernet ports
Using 100BaseTX, 10/100 Mb/s autosensing over the Fast
Ethernet ports
The following FDDI features are available:
Full-duplex FDDI
Translation between FDDI and 802.3 Ethernet frame format for
direct transparent connections, translation of AppleTalk 1 and 2 ARP
packets, and handling of Novell IPX raw 802.3 packets
Operable in either an FDDI tree or dual-ring configurations
Built-in SNMP agent and can be managed by any generic SNMP
management application
SNMP support for GETs and for the following standard traps,
along with many proprietary traps
VLAN Secure Domain
Includes a large address table (approximately 8,000 entries)
