Monitoring Hub Performance 2-19
Using the FRX4000, FRX6000, and SmartSwitch 1800 Hub View
¥ If LLC2 is conÞgured, Bridge must also be conÞgured. For the FRX6000, both
protocols should be, but do not have to be, on the same RLP. Having them on
the same RLP should provide better performance.
¥ If NVSP is conÞgured, LLC2 and Bridge must also be conÞgured. For the
FRX6000, all three protocols can be, but do not have to be, on the same RLP.
¥ For the FRX6000, IP, SNMP, RIP, IPX, LLC2, NVSP, and Bridge cannot be
conÞgured on more than one RLP each. However, more than one of these can
be on the same RLP. Performance can be enhanced by conÞguring these
protocols on the same RLPs that contain the frame relay ports that will
transport the protocols.
To change or add protocols for the selected RLP:
1. Display the Configuration window for the selected RLP. Each protocol field will
display either a configured protocol or None.
2. To change a protocol, click on the menu button to display a list of options, then
drag up or down to select the option you want.
3. Click on Apply to save your changes.
Configuring Serial Port Protocols
The Port ConÞguration window lets you conÞgure a protocol for the selected
port.
To access the window:
1. In the Hub View, click on the appropriate Port Index or Port Status text box to
display the Port Menu (see
Figure 2-3 , page 2-6 ).
2. Drag down to Configuration, and release. The Port Configuration window,
Figure 2-9 , will appear.
NOTE
Changing the protocols in the RLP ConÞguration window will enable the protocols on
that RLP, but to make the protocols actually operational you must reboot the device.
