Supported Devices

The SPECTRUM management modules SM-1076,
SM-1082, SM-1088 currently allow you to model
the following Chassis and SmartSwitch 6000
devices:
• The 6C105 Chassis (page
modular chassis that can incorporate two
load sharing power supplies and up to five
SmartSwitch 6000 modules.
• The SmartSwitch 6000 Modules (page
which include Ethernet, Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, and Carrier modules.
• Optional High Speed Interface Modules
(HSIM), Very High Speed Interface Modules
(VHSIM), and Fast Ethernet Port Interface
Modules (FEPIM) that plug into the
SmartSwitch 6000 modules and provide high
speed backbone interfaces to Fast Ethernet,
FDDI, ATM, WAN, and Gigabit Ethernet.
This guide does not provide device
management information for the HSIM
and VHSIM Interface Modules.

Networking Characteristics

The SmartSwitch 6000 is designed with a fully
distributed switching architecture within each
module, which allows the modules to be managed
as a single entity, with a single module acting as a
proxy agent for the chassis, see
Modes (page 9).
The SmartSwitch 6000 provides port mirroring,
port trunking, broadcast control, Quality of
Service (QoS), VLAN, and topology protocol, all in
either traditional 802.1d mode or Cabletron's
SecureFast mode. Optional RMON support is also
available.
The SmartSwitch 6000 can provide the following
port connectivities:
• Switched Ethernet
• Switched Fast Ethernet
• MicroLAN Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks
• OC-3, DS-3/E-3, and OC-12 switched ATM
