1. About the FrameSaver SLV9128-A2-GB20-80 September 2002 1-7 Integral Modem. Provides an internal 14.4 Kbps modem to support dialing into the unit for out-of-band management and automatic dialing out of SNMPtraps. Modem PassThru. Provides access to another device’s VT100-compatibleuser interface over a dial connection. When this feature is enabled, a logicalconnection between the unit’s modem and COM ports is created, allowingaccess to a collocated device’s serial port via the FrameSaver unit’s internalmodem. This feature is sometimes referred to as the Router Assist feature. Configurable FTP Transfer Rate. Allows you to control the transmit ratewhen downloading firmware into the FrameSaver unit and uploading userhistory statistics to an NMS (Network Management System) via the COM portconnection or a management PVC so the data can be transferred as abackground task using the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) overextended periods of time using low bandwidth. RMON User History Performance Statistics via SNMP Polling. Providesaccess to the physical interface and basic frame relay performance statisticsby polling the FrameSaver unit using SNMP (Simple Network ManagementProtocol). These statistics are available real-time via the Enterprise MIB andhistorically as an RMON2 User History object. Frame Relay Traffic Policing. Ensures proper alignment and correlation ofCIR (Committed Information Rate) values between the FrameSaver unit andthe network switch. When this feature is enabled, the unit can enforce CIR andEIR (Excess Information Rate), marking frames that exceed CIR as DE(Discard Eligible) using the same method used by the switch. Service Provider Support. Provides information and tools useful to networkservice providers, which includes the following:— IP Routing Table – Shows the IP routing table for the FrameSaver unit,with network as well as host routes, the number of hops to the destination,the method by which the route was added to the table, the interface usedto get to the destination, and how long the route has been in existence.— Trap Event Log – Displays the SNMP (Simple Network ManagementProtocol) trap event log for the FrameSaver unit from the menu-driven userinterface, with the most recent events first, keeping a running total for alltrap events stored, the amount of time since the event was logged, plus adescription of the trap.— Troubleshooting PVC – Provides a dedicated troubleshootingmanagement link that helps service providers isolate problems within theirnetwork. ATM VPI/VCI and DLCI Correlation. For networks with both ATM and framerelay-access endpoints, allows the FrameSaver unit to report the originatingVirtual Path and Channel Identifier (VPI/VCI) in the far-end ATM-accessendpoint where the local DLCI is mapped so they can be correlated forOpenLane SLV reports. Dual Flash Memory. Allows software upgrades while the unit is up andrunning. Two software loads can be stored and implemented at the user’sdiscretion.
