CHAPTER 2: Introduction
The RISC Router Expandable currently supports the following wide-area
network protocols:
• X.25
• Frame Relay
• Point-to-point
• HDLC raw
The RISC Router Expandable is equipped with 1 CPU board, 1 PROM card,
and up to eight expansion cards. A network control port is standard and
supports a user-interface via any VT100™ compatible terminal. Each Ethernet
card is equipped with an Ethernet terminator switch. The RISC Router
Expandable operates on 90-132/175-264 VAC, (47-440 Hz) and meets all
regulatory power-safety requirements.
The Network Control program is the user interface to the RISC Router
Expandable and provides the software tools for the internetworking platform.
Depending on the hardware and software configuration of the RISC Router
Expandable, Network Control provides the following:
• TCP/IP routing, IPX/NetWare
®
routing
• Protocol-transparent, high-speed bridging
• Multiple logical bridges
• Ethernet switching
• Telnet™, SNMP
• Spanning Tree
• Custom-address filtering
• Network statistics
• Password-protected security
