user-defined threshold.
Port Mirroring
ROX™II can be configured to duplicate all traffic on one port
to a designated mirror port. When combined with a network
analyzer, this can be a powerful troubleshooting tool.
Port Configuration and Status
ROX™II allows individual ports to be ‘hard’ configured for
speed, duplex, auto-negotiation, flow control and more. This
allows proper connection with devices that do not negotiate
or have unusual settings. Detailed status of ports with alarm
and SNMP trap on link problems aid greatly in system
troubleshooting.
Port Statistics and RMON (Remote Monitoring)
ROX™II provides continuously updating statistics per port
that provide both ingress and egress packet and byte
counters as well as detailed error figures. Also provided is
full support for the RMON statistics, history, alarms, and
event groups. RMON allows for very sophisticated data
collection, analysis and detection of traffic patterns.
Event Logging and Alarms
ROX™II records all significant events to a non-volatile
system log allowing forensic troubleshooting. Events
include link failure and recovery, unauthorized access,
broadcast storm detection, and self-test diagnostics among
others. Alarms provide a snapshot of recent events that
have yet to be acknowledged by the network administrator.
An external hardware relay is de-energized during the
presence of critical alarms allowing an external controller
to react if desired.
