Chapter 1: Introduction The 2E43-51R has two power supplies. The power supplies load share 50% (+/-5%) of the power required by the device. If one power supply fails, the remaining power supply assumes the entire load of the device without interruption to network traffic. Each power supply module supports its own ac input connection, which allows the user to connect each power supply to a different ac power circuit. 1.3.1 Connectivity The 2E43-51 connects to Ethernet networks or w

2E43-51 Overview When Auto-Negotiation is supported at both ends of a link, the two devices dynamically adjust to full or half duplex operation based on the maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. If the device connected to the FE-100TX cannot auto-negotiate, the FE-100TX Fast Ethernet Interface Module operates according to the capabilities of the other device. 1.3.4 SmartTrunk SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ termi

Chapter 1: Introduction The RAD requests start out at an interval of 1 second. The interval then doubles after every transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300 seconds. The RAD requests continue until an IP address is received from a BootP server, or an IP address is entered using Local Management. 1.3.6 Management Management of the 2E43-51 is accomplished using SNMP compliant management tools for in-band Local Management.
