Chapter 4:

Application Examples

FiberLinX can be used in many configurations based upon application,

network architecture and management security requirements. The following

are several examples of how you can use FiberLinX in your network.

Example 1:

Direct Fiber Switch Connection from Central to Remote Site

To achieve remote management and monitoring capabilities, directly

connect a FiberLinX to a fiber-based switch. All SNMP management traffic

and data traffic goes straight into the switch at the Central site via the fiber

port. SNMP management traffic is imbedded within the corporate network,

but no management data passes to the Remote site.

Configure FiberLinX to accept SNMP management traffic from the fiber

port. In this application, FiberLinX is neither a Host nor Remote unit. The

twisted pair management port on this FiberLinX is unused.
