Introduction
IntraSwitch 5308FL
The Asanté IntraSwitch 5308FL is a high-performance,
manageable Ethernet switch that offers eight 10Base-FL ports,
one 10/100TX port, and two optional Media Independent
Interface (MII) expansion slots.
The MII expansion slots allow for the addition of 10/100TX,
100Base-FX, or 10Base-FL connections. See page 2-6 for more
information.

port can be used for out-of-band management of
MII Expansion Slots
The two Media Independent Interface (MII) expansion slots
allow for the addition of various Asanté access modules,
including: 10/100TX, 100Base-FX, 10Base-FL, or BNC. See “MII
Ports” on page 2-6 for more information.
Redundant Power Supply Connector
The redundant power supply connector can be used to connect
to an Asanté external RPSU 6000 redundant power supply (sold
separately).
The RPSU 6000 provides the IntraSwitch 5308FL with power in
the event that the units’s main power connection fails.
For more information on the RPSU 6000, see the RPSU’s
Installation Guide. For part number information, see Appendix
C in this manual.
Power Switch
The power switch turns the IntraSwitch 5308FL on or off. See
“Connecting Power” on page 2-8 for instructions on powering
on the IntraSwitch 5308FL.
Page 1-3
Introduction
Power Supply Connector
The 5-volt power supply connector provides the IntraSwitch
5308FL’s power connection. See Appendix C, “Technical
Specifications” for more information.
Page 1-4
Configuration/ Management
Configuration/
Management
The IntraSwitch 5308FL can be managed through standard outof-band sessions through the unit’s Console port, via in-band
Telnet sessions, via any supported World Wide Web browser, or
via any SNMP-based management software program (such as
IntraSpection™ Web-based network management).
Console/Telnet Management
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to
manage the IntraSwitch 5308FL. The SNMP agent supports
database objects that are defined in the following Management
Information Bases (MIBs):
MIB II (RFC 1213)
❏
❏ Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)
❏ RMON, 4 groups (RFC 1757)
The SNMP agent can be accessed via an out-of-band Console
connection or through in-band Telnet sessions. See Chapter 4,
“Setting Up For Management,” for information on connecting
via one of these two methods.
See Appendix B, “Supported MIBs” for more information on the
MIBs supported by the IntraSwitch.
Web Browser Management
The IntraSwitch 5308FL has an HTTP server which allows it to
be management via any supported World Wide Web browser.
See the “Manual Addendum: Web Browser Management”
included in this package for information on accessing and
managing the IntraSwitch 5308FL with a Web browser.
SNMP-Based Management
Any SNMP-based network management application, such as
IntraSpection™ Web-based network management software, can
be used to manage the IntraSwitch 5308FL. See “In-Band
Management” on page 4-7 for more information.
Page 1-5
Introduction
Switching
Capacity
Each 10Base-FL port forwards Ethernet minimum-sized 64-byte
packets at the maximum attainable rate of 14,880 packets per
second (pps).
The 10/100 port can forward 64-byte packets at 148,000pps.
The IntraSwitch 5308FL fully supports the 802.1d transparent
Ethernet bridging standard. IEEE 802.1d compliance provides
automatic address learning, packet filtering, and the Spanning
Tree Protocol.
Page 1-6
