Feature (Cont.) Definition (Continued)
Reliability and Redun-
dancy For maximum uptime and minimum network disruption, the
interface and management modules are hot-swappable. Configu-
ration options include support for up to two load-sharing, hot-
swappable power supplies.
Installation Options The system can be rack-mounted to save space.
Security Node summary tracks MAC and IP addresses per device, for mul-
tiple devices on each port. The New Node Detection feature pro-
vides per-port security, allowing the network manager to specify
which MAC is authorized on each port. Only the device with that
MAC address is allowed to connect to that specific port.
Web Based Management Built-in Web-based interface is provided for chassis management,
module management, port-level control, and monitoring. The
IntraChassis 9000 can also be managed via Telnet, Console, or
third party SNMP console.
VLANs Supports up to 64 port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q compliant)
for security, logical network design, and the control of broadcast
traffic. The 802.1Q standard specifies VLAN tagging for trunking
VLANs from switch to switch, or switch to router. Compatible
with all 802.1Q equipment for easy integration into existing net-
works.
Multicast Control The IntraChassis 9000 supports standards based IGMP snooping
and GMRP for control of multicast traffic generated by band-
width-hungry applications like video, ensuring maximum applica-
tion and network performance.
RMON The administrator can use a RMON probe for in-depth traffic
analysis, with support for four groups of RMON.
Spanning Tree Protocol Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) detects and eliminates data loops to
prevent broadcast storms from overwhelming your network.
Y2K compliance All IntraChassis 9000 modules are Y2K compliant.
