Making Connections

you can use a TELNET program (in a VT-100 compatible terminal mode) to
access and control the hub. All of the screens are for the most part identical,
whether accessed from the diagnostic port or from TELNET.
A console device can manage a DFE-2600 series master hub operating in
a stack master or stand-alone master role. Use the on-board console pro-
gram for out-of-band management or D-View (included with DFE-2600
series master hubs) for in-band or out-of-band management. Other
SNMP management software will also work fine.
A console device can only manage a DFE-2600 series hub if it is stacked
with a DFE-2600 series master hub. Use either the on-board console pro-
gram or an SNMP-based network management program to manage the
stack.
Hub to End-Station Connection
After installing the hub properly, it can support up to sixteen (DFE-2616,
DFE-2616x, DFE-2616i, DFE-2616ix) or twenty-four (DFE-2624, DFE-
2624x, DFE-2624i, DFE-2624ix) end-station connections. Fast Ethernet
