    These modules can operate in two modes: either as a 12/36 port Ethernet traditional switch (using 802.1d standards) with a high speed backbone connection, or as a Secure Fast Switch (SFS) with 12/36 Ethernet connections. Each port can be configured to operate in the Full Duplex mode. This configuration allows each port to provide a full 20 Mbps of bandwidth for file...

    Spanning Tree, RMON, and MIB support, within a scalable RISC-Based architecture. Fast Packet Switching The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 modules incorporate a hardware based switch design referred to as the SmartSwitch ASIC, a collection of custom ASICs designed specifically for high speed switching. Because all frame translation, address lookups, and forwarding decisions are performed in hardware, these modules can obtain a throughput performance of greater than 750K pps.

    SmartSwitch ASIC The SmartSwitch ASIC is a hardware-based switch design that is the key building block of the SmartSwitch 9000 hub. The SmartSwitch ASIC makes all filtering/ forwarding decisions in custom hardware as opposed to software like in traditional bridges. This custom hardware enables the SmartSwitch ASIC to process over 750K frames per second.

  • 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 side-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. INB Interface The INB Backplane is designed to transport fixed length data blocks between modules in the SmartSwitch 9000 using an INB Time Division Multiplexing (ITDM) design.

    Operation Round Robin Arbitration (Level 2) This level makes use of idle time slices. There is a token passed on every time slice to modules participating in this level of arbitration. Only one module has the token at any one time slice. If the module assigned to the next time slice is not requesting then the module with the token will be granted access if it is requesting.
