13 Basic Administration Protocols
This chapter describes basic administration tasks including:
◆ Event Logging – Sets conditions for logging event messages to system memory
or flash memory, configures conditions for sending trap messages to remote
log servers, and configures trap reporting to remote hosts using Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
◆ Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) – Configures advertisement of basic
information about the local switch, or discovery of information about
neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.

– Sets the priority and power budget for each port.
◆ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) – Configures switch
management through SNMPv1, SNMPv2c or SNMPv3.
◆ Remote Monitoring (RMON) – Configures local collection of detailed statistics
or events which can be subsequently retrieved through SNMP.
◆ Switch Clustering – Configures centralized management by a single unit over a
group of switches connected to the same local network.
◆ Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) – Configures a protection switching
mechanism and protocol for Ethernet layer network rings.
◆ Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) – This protocol provides proactive
connectivity monitoring using continuity check messages, fault verification
through loop back messages, and fault isolation by examining end-to-end
connections between provider edge devices or between customer edge
devices.
◆ Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) – Provides remote
management tools required to monitor and maintain the links to subscriber
CPEs (Customer Premise Equipment).
◆ UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) – Detects general loopback conditions
caused by hardware problems or faulty protocol settings.
