Table 1-2 IntraCore 8000 Features

Security

Node summary tracks MAC and IP addresses per device, for
multiple devices on each port. The Port Security feature pro-
vides per-port security, allowing the network manager to spec-
ify which MAC is authorized on each port. Only the device with
that MAC address is allowed to connect to that specific port.

Web Based Manage-
ment

Built-in Web-based interface is provided for chassis manage-
ment, module management, port-level control, and monitoring.
The IntraCore 8000 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 broad-
cast 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 networks.

Multicast Control

The IntraCore 8000 supports standards based IGMP snooping
and GMRP for control of multicast traffic generated by band-
width-hungry applications such as video, ensuring maximum
application and network performance.

RMON

The administrator can use an 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 IntraCore 8000 modules are Y2K compliant.
