Introduction

How to use this guide; related guides; software conventions; getting help; ATX Switch ﬁrmware version

information

Welcome to the NetSight Element Manager for the ATX User’s Guide. We have

designed this guide to serve as a simple reference for using NetSight Element

Manager for the ATX Switch.

The ATX Switch comprises a ﬁve-slot chassis along with a high-capacity Packet

Processing Engine (PPE), which occupies an additional top slot. The ATX Switch

is a multiprotocol LAN switch that enables high-bandwidth switching between

Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI and 100Base-T LANs, with full connectivity to ATM.

The PPE uses a dual RISC processor design combined with specialized switching

hardware to provide wire-speed performance, the intelligence to manage the

bandwidth gained through switching, and the ability to perform core switching

functions (e.g., bridging, routing, programmable ﬁltering, and statistics

gathering).

Up to ﬁve modules in any combination can be installed in the ATX Switch chassis,

including Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, Fast Ethernet, and ATM modules. The

individual modules, each with at least one RISC CPU of its own, handle interface

control and translation functions at the port level.

The ATX, with its 1.6 Gbps internal bandwidth, combined with each LAN

module’s 400 Mbps bandwidth, offers a total system bandwidth exceeding 3.6

Gbps.

Introduction

1-2 Using the ATX Switch User’s Guide

Using the ATX Switch User’s Guide

Each chapter in this guide describes one major functionality or a collection of

several smaller functionalities of the ATX Switch. This guide contains information

about software functions which are accessed directly from the device icon; for

information about functions which are accessed via the NetSight Element

Manager platform, consult the User’s Guide and Tools Guide both of which are

included in this package.

Chapter 1, Introduction, provides a list of related documentation, describes

certain software conventions, and shows you how to contact the Enterasys Global

Call Center.

Chapter 2, The ATX Switch Chassis View, describes the visual display of the ATX

Switch and explains how to use the mouse within the Chassis View; the operation

of enabling and disabling ports is also described here.

Chapter 3, Using ATX Trunking, describes the trunking table and how to enable

and disable trunking on each interface on your ATX.

Chapter 4, Using ATX Port Filtering, describes how to use the Port Filtering

window to create custom ﬁlters and discard or forward trafﬁc based on the

speciﬁed criteria.

Chapter 5, Workgroup Conﬁguration, describes how to set up virtual work

groups on your ATX.

Chapter 6, ATX Port Mirroring, provides instructions for setting up port

mirroring on your ATX; you can conﬁgure a diagnostic port as either a local port

or a remote port on another ATX in your network.

Chapter 7, IPX Routing Tables, describes the IPX Tables window, which contains

statistics about IPX Routing on your ATX.

Chapter 8, ATX Bridging, provides a comprehensive look at all management

options associated with the bridge portion of the ATX, including Spanning Tree,

and the Filtering Database.

We assume that you have a general working knowledge of Ethernet IEEE 802.3,

Token Ring, Fast Ethernet, and FDDI type data communications networks and

their physical layer components, and that you are familiar with general bridging

and switching concepts.
