DRAFT 1 Introduction This chapter introduces the IntraSwitch 5308FL Ethernet switch. It provides an overview of the IntraSwitch 5308FL and describes its features, management and configuration capabilities, switching capacity, and factory default settings.
Introduction IntraSwitch 5308FL The Asanté IntraSwitch 5308FL is a high-performance, manageable Ethernet switch that offers eight 10Base-FL ports, one 10/100TX port, and two optional Media Independent Interface (MII) expansion slots. The MII expansion slots allow for the addition of 10/100TX, 100Base-FX, or 10Base-FL connections. See page 2-6 for more information.
IntraSwitch 5308FL Components IntraSwitch 5308FL Components 10/100TX Port The single auto-negotiating 10/100TX port allows for the connection of a 10Base-T or 100Base-T (Fast Ethernet) device. See “10/100TX Port” on page 2-9 for more information. 10Base-FL Ports The eight 10Base-FL ports with ST connectors allow for the connection of 10Base-FL Ethernet devices. See “10Base-FL Ports” on page 2-9 for more information.
Introduction Power Supply Connector The 5-volt power supply connector provides the IntraSwitch 5308FL’s power connection. See Appendix C,“Technical Specifications” for more information.
Configuration/ Management Configuration/ Management The IntraSwitch 5308FL can be managed through standard outof-band sessions through the unit’s Console port, via in-band Telnet sessions, via any supported World Wide Web browser, or via any SNMP-based management software program (such as IntraSpection™ Web-based network management). Console/Telnet Management The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to manage the IntraSwitch 5308FL.
Introduction Switching Capacity Each 10Base-FL port forwards Ethernet minimum-sized 64-byte packets at the maximum attainable rate of 14,880 packets per second (pps). The 10/100 port can forward 64-byte packets at 148,000pps. The IntraSwitch 5308FL fully supports the 802.1d transparent Ethernet bridging standard. IEEE 802.1d compliance provides automatic address learning, packet filtering, and the Spanning Tree Protocol.

Appendix A Troubleshooting This section provides some diagnostic tips for troubleshooting problems with your network and the IntraSwitch 5308FL. LED Indicators The following table describes some possible errors and solutions for troubleshooting problems via the IntraSwitch 5308FL’s LEDs. Table A-1 Troubleshooting Tips LED Error Type/Cause Solution (Options or Steps) Power LED does not come on when the power cord is connected to an outlet ❏ AC power source is not operational.
LED Error Type/Cause Solution (Options or Steps) Max Util (maximum utilization) LED for the port never blinks (steady light) ❏ Port is overloaded. ❏ Check the port statistics for the amount of traffic, errors, etc. being transmitted on the port. Link LED for the port goes off Page A-2 ❏ Cable connection is broken. ❏ Make sure connectors are seated correctly in the equipment at both ends of the cable. Check the continuity of the wires in the cable and the pin assignments on the RJ-45 connectors.
Appendix B Supported MIBs The IntraSwitch 5308FL supports the following MIBs (Management Information Bases): ❏ ❏ ❏ RMON (RFC 1757) MIB II (RFC 1213) Bridge MIB (RFC 1493) This section describes each supported MIB and its groups. RMON (RFC 1757) The IntraSwitch 5308FL supports four groups of Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) MIB objects.
Supported MIBs History Group The History group records periodic statistical samples from the collision domain and stores them in an SNMP table for later retrieval. The History group allows the manager to set a timer to record samples of Ethernet statistics. It allows baselining of network activity over time. Once samples are taken, the sample data is stored in an entry in a media-specific table.
MIB II (RFC 1213) Event Group The Event group controls the generation and notification of events from the switch. Each entry in the eventTable describes the event’s parameters that can be triggered. The switch generates an event when an associated condition is present in the MIB. The event can trigger a related function in the MIB. Each eventEntry can specify that, when an event occurs, a log entry and an SNMP trap message is created for the event.
Supported MIBs Address Trans Group The Address Translation group collects information about the capability to translate physical and network IP addresses. This group contains the following items: interface index, physical address, and network address for the MIB. IP Group The IP group contains information about the Internet Protocol functions for the selected network object. This group contains the following items: fields for forwarding and the default time-to-live for the system.
MIB II (RFC 1213) TCP Group The TCP group contains information that relates to Transmission Control Protocol, such as algorithm, minimum and maximum for retransmission time-outs, monitoring connections, failures, established resets, input and output data, and retransmitted segments. TCP Connection Table The TCP Connection Table group contains data about each TCP connection, with a field for the state of the connection and fields for the local IP address, local port, remote IP address and remote port.
Supported MIBs Bridge MIB (1493) The IntraSwitch 5308FL supports the following Bridge MIB group: Base Port The Base Port group enables and disables ports.
