Network Management Module
Figure 1-5. Network Management Module
This switch includes a Network Management Module on the rear panel.
This module can manage the switch and the attached stack. It offers a
variety of management options, including SNMP, RMON and a
Web-based interface. This module also includes an RS-232 port for
out-of-band management. This is an RS-232 serial port with a DB-9
connector. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and
monitoring purposes out-of band via a null modem cable. This allows you
to access the out-of-band interface. (See Apendix B for a description of
wiring options.)
The Network Management Module provides a wide range of advanced
performance-enhancing features. Multicast filtering provides support for
real-time network applications. Port-based and tagged VLANs provide
traffic security and efficient use of network bandwidth. QoS priority
queueing ensures the minimum delay for moving real-time multimedia data
across the network. Flow control eliminates the loss of packets due to
bottlenecks caused by port saturation. And broadcast storm control
prevents broadcast traffic storms from engulfing the network.
