    RISC-Based Architecture. This module can operate in two modes: either as a 28-port Ethernet traditional switch (using 802.1d standards) with a high speed backbone connection, or as a Secure Fast Switch (SFS) with 28 Ethernet connections. Each port can be configured to operate in the Full Duplex mode.
  • Page 12: Features

    Spanning Tree, RMON, and MIB support, within a scalable RISC-Based architecture. Fast Packet Switching The 9H423-28 module incorporates 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.
  • Page 13 negotiate duplex, both the 9H423-28 and the attached device must be configured for auto-negotiation. If only the 9H423-28 is configured for auto-negotiation, the module will set the connection to half duplex at either the 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps rate. This technology is similar to how modems negotiate transmission speed, finding the highest transmission rate possible.
  • Page 14 RAM is for the next time slice, not the current time slice. LANVIEW LEDs The 9H423-28 module uses LANVIEW – the Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify, at a glance, system status as well as the device, port, and physical layer status.

    2. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). 3. Carefully examine the module, checking for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module. Contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support immediately. Installing an FEPIM The 9H423-28 provides a slot for a Cabletron FEPIM (Fast Ethernet Port Interface Module).
  • Page 18: User Accessible Components

    User Accessible Components Figure 2-2 shows the various components that can be accessed by users. These consist of an eight-position dip switch (explained in the next section), replaceable PROMs, and sockets for memory and flash upgrades. These will be used for future upgrades.
  • Page 19: Setting The Module Dip Switch

    The DIP switch on the 9H423-289 module (Figure 2-2 ), is an eight-switch DIP located near the right and center of the module. Each switch is set according to the functions described in Table 2-1. If switch settings are changed, the processor on the module must be reset, using the reset switch or repowering the module, for changes to take effect.

  • Page 25: Chapter 3 Operation

    Chapter 3 Operation The 9H423-28 module is a twenty-nine port device. Two front panel RJ21 connectors support twenty-four 10BASE-T ports, along with two RJ45 connectors, ST fiber connectors and a slot for an FEPIM that support four 100BASE-T ports. Each of these twenty-eight ports is a separate collision domain, while the 29th port connects to INB-B.

    Operation i960 Core The i960 core provides the SNMP protocol stacks to support industry-standard MIBs. Additionally, Cabletron enterprise extension MIBs are supported for each media type. Advanced management services, such as the Distributed LAN Monitor, telnet and network address to MAC address mapping, are also provided by the i960 core.
  • Page 31: Smb-10 Bus

    SMB-10 Bus The SMB-10 is a 10Mbs management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This bus is used for inter-chassis communication of modules as well as serving as an side-band management channel into the SmartSwitch 9000. The SMB-10 is externalized from the chassis via an optional Ethernet Port Interface Module (EPIM) located on the front of the Environmental Module.
  • Page 32: Itdm Arbitration Levels

    Operation Arbitration for the backplane is accomplished in the INB Time Division Multiplexing (ITDM) logic. The arbitration is a three-level scheme that ensures that no one can get the backplane for more than one time slice at a time. The ITDM RAM contains 256 4-bit locations. This RAM is used to hold slot numbers of modules participating in INB backplane arbitration.
