MONITORING AND MANAGING
YOUR FN10
Monitoring the FN10 consists of collecting and analyzing statistics and
system status information. Additional statistics gathered by the FN10 are
the result of user-configurable filters. See Chapter 5, FN10 Filters, for
information on setting up FN10 filters.
You can use the Select button on the front panel of the FN10 to monitor
segment status on any of the Ethernet ports. Refer to Section 2.1 for a
description of the segment status options.
Basic management of the FN10 consists of disabling or enabling Ethernet
ports, changing subnet masks, setting the community name for the FN10,
and changing the baud rate for your Local Console Manager (LCM)
connection.
4.1 FN10 MANAGEMENT TOOLS
LCM is a command-line interface built into the FN10 that enables you to
monitor and manage the FN10 through the out-of-band RS232C
connection attached to any non-intelligent terminal. You can also use one
of the following Cabletron Systems Network Management Stations
(NMSs), or a standard SNMP-based NMS to manage the FN10:
• Any SNMP-based NMS.
4.2 FN10 STATISTICS
The FN10 gathers statistics that can help you build a comprehensive
profile of the network traffic flow between each Local Area Network
(LAN) you are connecting, as well as the network traffic flow to and from
each Ethernet port on the FN10.
FN10 statistics are divided into five groups:
• System statistics
• Ethernet port statistics
