Features
Quality of Service
Although the XP-2000 supplies non-blocking high-speed throughput, you can configure the XP-
2000 to apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to specific
hosts, applications, and flows (source-destination pairs). This is especially useful in networks
where the traffic level can exceed the network medium’s capacity.
The XP-2000 QoS is based on four queues: control, high, medium, and low. Control traffic has the
highest priority, high the second highest, and so on. The default priority for all traffic is low.
You can configure QoS policies for the following types of traffic:
•
Layer-2 prioritization (802.1p)
•
Layer-3 source-destination flows
•
Layer-4 source-destination flows
•
Layer-4 application flows
Statistics
The XP-2000 can provide extensive statistical data on demand. You can access the following types
of statistics:
•
Layer-2 RMON and MIB II Statistics – Port statistics for normal packets and for errors (packets
in, packets out, CRC errors, and so on)
•
Layer-3 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for ICMP, IP, IP-interface, IP routing, IP multicast,
VLAN
•
Layer-4 RMON v2 Statistics – Statistics for TCP and UDP
Management Platforms
You can manage the XP-2000 using the following management platforms:
•
Command Line Interface (CLI) – An EMACs editor-like interface that accepts typed commands
and responds when applicable with messages or tables. You will use the CLI to perform the
basic setup procedures described in Chapter 3 of this guide.
•
SNMP MIBs and traps – The XP-2000 supports SNMP v1 and many standard networking
MIBs. You can access the XP-2000’s SNMP agent using Enterasys integration software for HP
OpenView 5.x on Windows NT or Solaris 2.x, or Enterasys Spectrum on Solaris 2.x.
Chapter 3,
Firmware Installation and Setup
, in this guide explains how to set up SNMP on the XP-2000.
