How to Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM
This chapter introduces the SPECTRUM Management Module for 3Com
PortSwitch Hubs. It describes the following:
• 3Com PortSwitch Hubs
• SPECTRUM Model Type
• Accessing SPECTRUM views
• SPECTRUM Views Roadmap
3Com PortSwitch Hubs
The 3Com PortSwitch Hubs are stackable Fast Ethernet hubs that provide
Fast Ethernet uplinks. This device provides 12 or 24 ports for twisted pair
connections via RJ-45 connectors.
SPECTRUM Model Type
The model type Hub3ComPortSw refers to the management module
software package used to specify attributes, actions, and associations for the
physical 3Com PortSwitch Hub device using the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) and Management Information Bases (MIBs)
for that device.
