Introduction Configuration/ The IntraSwitch 5324 can be managed through standard out-of- band sessions through the Console port, via in-band Telnet Management sessions, or via any SNMP-based management software program (such as IntraSpection™). Console/Telnet Management The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to manage the IntraSwitch 5324. The SNMP agent supports database objects that are defined in the following Management Information Bases (MIBs): ❏ MIB II (RFC 1213) ❏ Br

Switching Capacity Switching Each 10Base-T port forwards Ethernet minimum-sized 64-byte packets at the maximum attainable rate of 14,880 packets per Capacity second (pps). The 10/100 port can forward 64-byte packets at 148,000pps. The IntraSwitch 5324 fully supports the 802.1d transparent Ethernet bridging standard. IEEE 802.1d compliance provides automatic address learning, packet filtering, and the Spanning Tree Protocol. Page 1-5
