Using the FRX4000, FRX6000, and SmartSwitch 1800 Hub View
2-18 Monitoring Hub Performance
LIC 1 Type/LIC 2 Type Displays the type value for each Line Interface Card
(LIC) installed on the selected RLP: RS232, HS RS232,
v.35, RS422, Voice or Universal. The Universal LIC is
shipped as the Base LIC on the FRX4000 and the
SmartSwitch 1800. It has four ports: port 0 can be
conÞgured for RS232 operation; port 1 can be conÞgured
for RS232 and CSU/DSU operation; ports 2 and 3 can be
conÞgured for RS232, v.35, RS449, RS530, or x.21
operation (depending on the attached cable type).
Protocols Displays the protocols that have been loaded onto the
selected RLP.
On the FRX4000 and SmartSwitch 1800, a
maximum of 11 protocols can be loaded on to RLP0. A
maximum of nine protocols can be loaded on to an FRX
6000 RLP. If less than the maximum number have been
loaded, some of the protocol Þelds will display
None.
Only protocols which have been loaded onto the RLP can
be conÞgured to run over that RLPÕs serial ports. You can
change or add protocols for the selected RLP.
Follow these guidelines when conÞguring protocols:
¥ RIP is a valid choice only if IP is already conÞgured on the same RLP.
¥ If SNMP is conÞgured, IP must also be conÞgured. For the FRX6000, SNMP
and IP can be, but do not have to be, on the same RLP.
NOTE
You must have 8 megabytes of memory installed on at least one RLP in the FRX to run
Þrmware version 4.0. If you have RLPs with only 4 megabytes of memory and want to
upgrade them to 8 megabytes, contact CabletronÕs Global Call Center or your local service
representative for more information.
NOTE
On
For the FRX4000 and the SmartSwitch 1800, the RLP ConÞguration window and
protocol menu will display all the protocols shown in
Figure 2-7 , but only those protocols
that were purchased will be conÞgurable.
For the FRX6000, all supported protocols will Þt on one 8-megabyte RLP; however, it is
recommended that no more than seven protocols be conÞgured on any one RLP.
WARNING
The X.25 protocol is always loaded on every RLP; it is a necessary protocol for use by
internal FRX and SmartSwitch 1800 trafÞc and
must not be deleted.
