Manageability
The Switch 9300 provides full support for VLANs
and RMON Version 1, as well as a roving analysis
port through SNMP management.
Switch 9300 System Management
Switch 9300 systems include integrated management
to provide fault tolerance and maximum network
availability. This management is accessible in two
ways:
■
Switch 9300 Administration Console
■
Standard network managers based on SNMP, such
as 3Com’s Transcend
®
Network Control Services,
Sun’s SunNet Manager, HP OpenView, and IBM’s
NetView AIX applications
Network Configuration Example
This section discusses one way to place the
Switch 9300 in your network.
Speeding Up Server Access
To centralize your servers for easier service and
support, use a configuration like the one in Figure 4.
Suppose all of your organization’s servers are located
in the same physical space. These servers must
support a large number of clients that are distributed
throughout the organization’s campus. The client
connections are switched Fast Ethernet.
You can multiplex the traffic from each grouping of
desktop clients into one higher-bandwidth stream
through a SuperStack II Switch 3900.
Each Switch 3900 can, in turn, pass its traffic along to
a Switch 9300, which multiplexes the traffic into
Gigabit Ethernet streams for the servers.
This architecture eliminates bottlenecks that are
caused by each Fast Ethernet device as it vies for
access to the server.
You can also use the Switch 9300 for many other
applications, such as to consolidate LAN backbones or
to provide more flexible trunking configurations.
