2.3
Management
The R Class Falcon can be remotely managed via a variety of mechanisms/ platforms at virtually no
integration efforts:
IP Based (in-band): SNMP (v1/v2/v3), Telnet, SSH, Web (HTTP, HTTPS).
Console (RJ-45): RS-232 (115,200Bd), CLI (Cisco like).
OAM/IEEE802.3ah: when connected to third party edge switch that supports the standard.
Management integration
Integration with 3
rd
party network management systems can be achieved via SNMP protocol, in
addition to the following standards: NTPV4, SYSLOG, RADIUS, TACACS, DHCP, LACP, LLDP.
OAM & Diagnostics:
•
IEEE802.3ah link OAM
•
IEEE802.1ag CFM
•
ITU-T Y.1731 PM (HW based measurements)
•
Copper TDR
•
SFP diagnostics (SFF-8472)

Traffic mirroring
2.4
R Class Falcon port features
R Class ports can be configured to support special data-plain functions. extended traffic handling
capabilities, more functionality and processing power. These capabilities are Software and Firmware
based and therefore field upgradeable and configurable.
The following special features are supported by the R Class series models ports:
•
Synchronous Ethernet
•
IEEE1588-2008 - PTP.
•
MEF 20: specifies MEF User to Network Interface (UNI) Type 2.
