Managing Your Network with the
Management Module
By adding the optional HP J3210A Management Pack to any hub in your stack,
you can configure, diagnose, and troubleshoot your stack of hubs.
The features of this module are:
■ Port Switching. The ability to distribute any stack ports onto 4
available segments. By distributing ports onto different collision
domains, the number of collisions are reduced and bandwidth in-
creases for each user.
■ Network Management through Two Included Software Inter-
faces. Segment, diagnose, configure, and manage your stack of hubs
through either the ASCII console (through a serial cable or by using
Telnet) or through the graphical software package, HP AdvanceStack
Assistant. Using either interface from a network management station
that supports Management over IP (using the configured IP address)
or Novell NetWare (IPX), you can remotely manage the stack of hubs.
The Management Module has SNMP, RMON, and HP EASE (Embed-
ded Advanced Sampling Environment).
■ Segment Display. The Management Module has a Segment Display
button. By pressing the Segment Display button one time for each
segment, all Port LEDs in the entire stack will reflect which segment
each port is on. After 60 seconds, the Port LEDs revert to displaying
their connection status information rather than segment information.
■ Security Multiple levels of security and network management autho-
rization for every port in the stack. The console can also be configured
to have a password before the user logs in.
■ Redundant backup link to another device to enhance network fault
tolerance for every port in the stack.
■ Redundant Management Modules. If you insert two Management
Modules into a stack, the second module will take over if the first one
fails to give you uninterrupted management.
