SmartTrunk SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple links of any technology together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link.
  • Page 16 The 9E531-24 supports all nine Ethernet RMON groups. The Statistics, Alarms, Events and History groups are enabled on all ports by default. Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-specific extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by setting an RMON Event and/or Alarm.
  • Page 17 The 9E531-24 provides IEEE Standard-based 802.1 switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services. In the 802.1 mode (the default mode of operation), the switch functions as an 802.1D switch. When VLANs are configured, it operates as an 802.1Q switch. Transmit Queue...

    Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module Using DIP Switch 6 The purpose of DIP switch 6 is to force a Flash download from a BootP server through the EM-EPIM. The first step in this process is to configure the BootP server. Configurations of BootP servers can differ from platform to platform and from one operating system to another.

    SecureFast switching. The module supports only one of these modes of operation at any one time. When operating in traditional IEEE 802.1 switch mode, the 9E531-24 makes filtering/forwarding decisions based on Destination Address (DA), with standard IEEE 802.1D learning. 802.1Q VLANs are also supported.
  • Page 28: System Management Buses

    Technical Overview 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. Figure 3-1. Block Diagram...

    SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps 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. The SMB-1 transports inter-chassis information between system components, such as power and environmental information, as well as diagnostic messages.
