2.2 Switch Architecture
The 7210 SAS-M employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits
simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The
switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, that effectively doubles the
bandwidth of each connection.
2.2.1 Network Management Options
The 7210 SAS-M contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for at-a-glance monitoring
of network and port status. It also includes a management agent that enables you to
configure or monitor your switch using its CLI, or by using SNMP applications.
To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-
band Ethernet management port) or you can manage it by using a network
connection (in-band SFP or XFP ports) using Telnet/SSH or SNMP-based network
management software.
The management port provides a dedicated management channel that operates
outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to reconfigure or
troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote connection to the management
port when using the data channel is not possible or deemed insecure.
