1-5 Introduction Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-specific extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by setting an RMON Event and/or Alarm. An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a br oadcast threshold is crossed.
Introduction 1-6 Switching Options The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 provide IEEE Standar d-based 802.1 switching or SecureFast Switching V irtual Network Services. In the 802.1 mode (the default mode of operation), the switch functions as an 802.1D switch. When until VLANs are configur ed, it operates as an 802.
1-7 Introduction Optional HSIM and VHSIM The modules provide a slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) or V ery High Speed Interface Module (VHSIM) for additional connectivity to various networking technologies. The Release Notes that are shipped with the product list exceptions to the HSIMs and VHSIMs that operate in the modules.
