SynOptics Communications' System 5000(tm) network management modules
deliver a robust solution for managing, troubleshooting and
analyzing multiple networks in SynOptics System 5000 network
center applicans. Residing in the Model 5000 hub, the modules
collect and process core performance statistics from rings and
segments operating within the hub, enabling network managers to
monitor and control System 5000 networks with precision. With
on-board Data Collection Engines, the modules also provide a
platform for performing high-performance traffic analysis
functions.
THE SYSTEM 5000 SOLUTION
The Model 5000, working with the
LattisSphere(tm) system comprised of existing SynOptics hub
products, representhe industry's first structured networking
solution that supports today's legacy networks while providing a
migration path to future LAN technologies.
The Model 5000 intelligent hub platform is designed to support
highly-segmented enterprise networks by providing a central point of
integration and administration for distributed environments. Residing
in the network center, the Model 5000 unites distributed System 3000-
and System 2000-based Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI networks as a
single, cohesive system, optimizing the use of centralized
network resources such as servers, bridges and routers.
The Model5000 also includes a built-in path to the high-speed switching
technologies of the future, enabling customers to incrementally
migrate their shared-media LANs to switched backbone networks
without sacrificing existing investments.
SYSTEM 5000 NETWORK MANAGEMENT MODULES
System 5000 network
management modules provide the Optivity(tm) network management
system with information regarding the Ml 5000 and all
supported media, enabling network managers to monitor network
performance and control hub and network configuration.
All modules installed in the hub, including the Model 5110
Supervisory Module and System 5000 host modules, regularly
collect and maintain fault, performance and configuration data at
the network, hub, board and port levels. This information is
forwarded to the network management modules over the Common
Management Bus (CMB), a 32 megabit per second (Mb/s) bus that
spans all 14 slots on the Model 5000 backplane. The network
management modules process and condense the data and, using the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), forward it to the
network management station for review.
Both Ethernet and Token Ring versions of the modules are available
for managing all segments and rings supported by the Model 5000 hub.
MODEL 5310 ETHERNET NETWORK MANAGEMENT MODULE
The Model 5310 Ethernet Network Management Module attaches to the
Model 5000 backplane to collect segment and port performance and activity
data from intelligent host modules, providing core management of
up to 52 Ethernet segments supported by the hub.
Each Model 5310 includes a central 32-bit, 25 Mhz processor offering
high-speed, 22 million-instructions-per-second (MIPS) performance for
computing and processing complex traffic data. The modules
feature 1 Mb of Flash EEPROM, 128K of non-volatile RAM and 256K
of Boot EPROM for on-board storage of agent software and
configuration images.
All management information is sent to the
Optivity network management system in-band using SNMP. An
external RS-232-C port on the module is also available to support
out-of-band SNMP management operations at speeds up to 38.4
kilobytes per second (Kb/s). Module configuration and diagnostic
testing can be performed at the hub site using a front-panel DB-9
service port maintained by the hub's Supervisory Module.
MODEL 5510 TOKEN RING NETWORK MANAGEMENT MODULE
The Model 5510 Token Ring Network Management Module attaches to the
Model 5000 backplane to gather ring-level performance and activity data
from intelligent host modules, providing core management for up to 26
Token Ring networks operating within the hub.
The Model 5510 features a central 32-bit, 25 Mhz processor supporting 22
million- instructions-per-second (MIPS) performance for computing
and processing complex traffic data. Like the Model 5310, the
Model 5510 also includes 1 Mb of Flash EEPROM, 128K of
non-volatile RAM and 256K of Boot EPROM for on-board storage of
agent software and configuration images.
In-band SNMP communications are supported for sending management data to
the Optivity network management system. A front-panel RS-232-C port
is also available to support out-of- band SNMP management
operations at speeds up to 38.4 Kb/s. Module configuration and
diagnostic testing can be performed at the hub site using a
front-panel DB-9 service port maintained by the hub's Supervisory
Module.
DATA COLLECTION ENGINES
System 5000 network management modules
employ a multi-processor architecture, each featuring a dedicated
custom Frame Processing Unit (FPU), a 13 MIP, 32-bit digital
signal processor (DSP) and a network interface. Together, these
elements comprise the Data Collection Engine (DCE). DCEs
captures frames, computes RMON type statistics and passes the
resulting data to the module's central processor, providing the
network manager with extensive management capabilities.
Each System 5000 Ethernet and Token Ring network management module
comes preconfigured with a single DCE, relieving the central
processing unit (CPU) from low-level packet processing chores.
Because each managed segment or ring requires its own DCE to
provide detailed packet analysis, System 5000 network management
modules include an expansion feature that allows users to install
additional DCEs on the existing hardware.
MODEL 5311 ETHERNET AND MODEL 5511 TOKEN RING DATA COLLECTION ENGINES
The Model 5310 Ethernet Network Management Module offers
sockets for holding two additional Model 5311 DCEs, providing a
cost-effective method for extensive analysis and management of up
to three Ethernet segments from a single module. The Model 5510
Token Ring Network Management Module offers a single socket for
supporting one additional Model 5511 DCE, providing analysis and
management for up to two Token Ring networks.
The Model 5311 Ethernet and the Model 5511 Token Ring DCEs incorporate a
32-bit digital signal processor (DSP), providing a dedicated engine for
processing frame segments and computing MAC- and ring-level
statistics at speeds up to 11,000 packets per second. The Model
5511 utilizes a SynOptics-developed application specific
integrated circuit (ASIC) to serve as an FPU that promiscuously
captures and passes frames to the DSP at full network speeds.
The Model 5311 employs a unique dual National Semiconductor NIC
design, with one NIC dedicated to promiscuous packet capture and
the second reserved for in-band SNMP communications.
DCEs are assigned to analyze specific segments or rings through the
Optivity network management system. Users choose how the DCEs
are assigned through a simple software operation, lending
additional configuration flexibility to the System 5000
application.
LED DISPLAYS
The Model 5310 Ethernet and Model 5510 Token Ring
network management modules include an LED matrix display to
indicate the modules' operational status at a glance.
Both the Model 5310 and the Model 5310 include a top-level "annunciator"
LED to report the modules' overall status. In addition, the
Model 5310 includes a bi-color LED matrix display to indicate
which of the 12 backplane Ethernet segments are in use and their
current status.
The Model 5510 offers a bi-color LED display to
report which of the nine backplane Token Ring networks are being
used, as well the rings' speeds.
In addition, both the Model 5310 and the Model 5510 include a
four-character alphanumeric display associated with each DCE to
report current module status, network utilization and network error
conditions.
