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 full-
handshaking null modem cable. You can also make a remote
connection to this port via modems. 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
