The router module includes two ports:
An external synchronous WAN port supporting RS-232/V.24/V.28,
V.35, X.21, or RS-422/RS-449/V.36 interfaces at speeds of 9.6 Kbit/s to
2.048 Mbit/s. These allow HP Point-to-Point, PPP, V.25 bis
(dial-up/ISDN), SMDS, frame relay, and LAPB (X.25) connections to
other routers, over point-to-point or switched circuits.
An internal Ethernet/802.3 LAN port, through which the router
module communicates with the hub.
The router provides both bridging and routing capabilities and supports
the following routing services:
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP protocol suite)
DECnet Phase IV
Xerox XNS
Novell IPX
AppleTalk Phase 2
Transparent Bridging with Spanning Tree
The router module can be configured and managed in various ways:
Through the hub’s RS-232 Distributed Management port, connected
(locally, or through a modem) to a PC running the HP Stack Manager
software supplied with the router module.
Through any standard SNMP network management software, such
as HP OpenView Interconnect Manager in HP-UX.
Through Telnet access over the network.
Additional features include:
“SmartBoot”, which allows another HP router or a Bootp server on
the network to automatically configure the router module when it is
first booted after installation. This eliminates the need for expert
personnel at the site where the router module is installed.
HP EASE (Embedded Advanced Sampling Environment).
The ability for enhancements to the router module’s operating
system to be downloaded to the router module through the hub’s
RS-232 Distributed Management port.
