Table 1-2 IntraCore 6524 Features
Security Node summary tracks MAC and IP addresses per device, for mul-
tiple devices on each port. The Port Security feature provides per-
port security, allowing the network manager to specify which
MAC is authorized on each port. Only the device with that MAC
address is allowed to connect to that specific port.
Web Based Management Built-in Web-based interface is provided for chassis management,
module management, port-level control, and monitoring. The
IntraCore 6524 can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or third
party SNMP console.
VLANs Supports up to 64 port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q compliant)
for security, logical network design, and the control of broadcast
traffic. The 802.1Q standard specifies VLAN tagging for trunking
VLANs from switch to switch, or switch to router. Compatible
with all 802.1Q equipment for easy integration into existing net-
works.
Multicast Control The IntraCore 6524 supports standards based IGMP snooping for
control of multicast traffic generated by bandwidth-hungry appli-
cations such as video, ensuring maximum application and net-
work performance.
RMON The administrator can use an RMON probe for in-depth traffic
analysis, with support for four groups of RMON.
Spanning Tree Protocol Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) detects and eliminates data loops to
prevent broadcast storms from overwhelming your network.
Y2K compliance All IntraCore series modules are Y2K compliant.
