Manageability

● SNMP and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management, and a CLI management console provides detailed out-of-band management.

● An embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (history, statistics, alarms, and events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis.

● A Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) port can mirror traffic from one or many ports to another port for monitoring all nine RMON groups with an RMON probe or network analyzer.

● Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.

● Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent time stamp to all switches within theintranet.

● Two LEDs per port provide convenient visual indication of the port link and inline power status.

● Crash information support helps enable a switch to generate a crash file for improved troubleshooting.

● Show-interface capabilities provide information about the configuration capabilities of any interface.

● The Response Time Monitoring (RTTMON) MIB allows users to monitor network performance between the HWIC switch and a remote device.

Connectors and Cabling

● 10BASE-T ports: RJ-45 connectors, two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling

● 100BASE-TX ports: RJ-45 connectors; two-pair Category 5 UTP cabling

Indicators

● Link status LED: One LED per port for indicating link status

● Inline power LED: One LED per port system for inline power status indication
