Command Line Interface
The Centillion command line interface (CLI) provides an out-of-band interface
for the initial setup of basic configuration parameters such as IP address and
bridging mode. For more information about the CLI structure and commands,
refer to Reference Guide for the Centillion Command Line Interface 4.2.
MCP Modules
Each EtherSpeedII switch module maintains its own switch tables for directing
traffic. A central supervisor, the master control processor (MCP), consolidates
these distributed tables into master tables that are accessible to other modules
within a chassis or within a network of System 5000 hubs or Centillion switch
modules. The MCP also handles the switch-wide housekeeping functions such as
network management.
SNMP MIB Support
The Centillion switch modules support a Simple Network Management Protocol
(
SNMP)-compatible agent with private MIB extensions. Built-in SNMP agent
support ensures compatibility with existing network management tools. The MCP
modules support MIB-I and MIB-II (RFC 1213) standards that provide access to
detailed management statistics.
Using SpeedView, you can configure SNMP traps to be generated automatically
for conditions such as unauthorized access attempts or changes in operating status
on individual ports.
