The price of Cabletron Systems Inc’s RISC-based 24-port 10BaseT hubs has been reduced by 30%. The MRXI-22 and -24 support the Rochester, New Hampshire company’s newly-announced Distributed LAN Monitoring software and cost $110 – UKP125 – per port. With the optional distributed local network monitoring software, the MRXI-24 can be configured to poll and monitor any Simple Network Management Protocol or Internet Protocol device locally on the network, reducing network management traffic to the management system.
