This chapter describes:
• Installing SMMi Modules on page 157
• Removing SMMi Modules on page 159
NOTE
Read the information in this chapter thoroughly before you attempt to install or remove the Alpine Switch
Management Module (SMMi).
The Switch Management Module (SMMi) is responsible for upper-layer protocol processing and switch
management functions in the Alpine 3808 and Alpine 3804 chassis. The SMMi can store two
ExtremeWare software images (version 6.0 or later) and two switch configurations.
NOTE
The Alpine 3802 switch does not require a separate Switch Management Module. All upper-layer
protocol processing and switch management functions are part of the integrated Switch Management
Module that is located in the chassis.
Figure 70 shows the SMMi.
