  • Page 9: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction The 9E106-06 is a multi-port Ethernet Switch Module for the SmartSwitch 9000 that provides high speed IEEE 802.1D compliant bridging and SecureFast™ Switching (SFS). ® Each 9E106-06 is equipped with two advanced Intel i960 RISC microprocessors. One processor provides the module’s SNMP protocol stack for both IETF and Enterprise MIB extensions.

  • Page 10: Features

    Introduction Features Processors The 9E106-06 is equipped with dual advanced Intel i960 One processor provides a platform for all management applications, such as Spanning Tree, RMON, IETF and Enterprise MIB support. This network management information is available through a variety of methods. All SNMP based information is accessible either via an in-band (front panel port), side-band (SMB-10), or out-of-band via the Environmental Module’s (EM) COM ports.
  • Page 11 For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the 9E106-06 package. LANVIEW LEDs The 9E106-06 uses LANVIEW – the Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify the device, port, and physical layer status at a glance.

  • Page 25: Chapter 3 Operation

    Operation The 9E106-06 module is a seven port device, six front panel ports, each representing a separate Ethernet collision domain, and one backplane connection to FNB-1 or FNB-2. As shown in Figure 3-1, packets received through one of the six front panel Ethernet ports and destined for another SmartSwitch 9000 module are translated by the i960 Switch Processor into a FDDI frame format and then sent to FNB-1 or FNB-2.

  • Page 26: System Management Buses

    Operation System Management Buses There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and inter- module management communication. SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1Mbs management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system, including connectivity modules, power supply modules and the environmental module.

  • Page 27: Dc/Dc Converter

    DC/DC Converter The DC/DC converter converts the 48 VDC on the system power bus to the necessary operating voltages for its host network services module. The diagnostic controller monitors and controls the operation of the DC/DC converter. FNB Interface SmartSwitch 9000 modules are designed with one of two attachment policies. One allows dual attachment of a module to either FNB-1 or FNB-2;...

  • Page 38: Epim-C

    EPIM-C The EPIM-C supports thin-net coaxial cabling and is equipped with an internal Cabletron Systems TMS-3™ Transceiver. You can use the TERM switch on the front of the EPIM-C to set the internal 50-ohm terminator. This eliminates the need to connect the port to a tee-connector and terminator. Figure A-4 shows the setting for the terminator switch.

  • Page 39: Connector Type

    The link distance is up to 185 meters on the thin-net coaxial cables. Connector Type This connector type is a BNC receptacle, with gold center contact, for use with BNC type tee-connectors and RG-58 thin-net cable. Grounding For safety reasons, only one end of a thin-net segment should be connected to earth ground.
