The power supplies load share 50% (+/-5%) of the power required by the device.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3.4 SmartTrunk SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple physical links together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link. All links are user-configurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links.
2H28-08R Overview 1.3.6 Management Management of the 2H28-08R is accomplished using SNMP compliant management tools for in-band Local Management. Out-of-band Local Management is provided through the RJ45 COM port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3.10 Port Redirect Function The port redirect function, also referred to as “Port Mirroring,” is a troubleshooting tool used to map traffic from a single source port or multiple source ports to a destination port(s) within the chassis. This feature functions at the bit level, which allows all packets, including those with errors, to be copied and sent to an analyzer or RMON probe.
