  • Page 9: Chapter 1 Introduction

    The module can operate in two modes: as a 36-port Ethernet traditional switch (using 802.1d standards) with a high speed backbone connection or as a Secure Fast Switch (SFS) with 36 Ethernet connections. Each port of the 9E423-36 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 servers or high end user...

  • Page 10: Features

    IEEE 802.1d bridging, including Spanning Tree Algorithm, is supported. Connectivity The 9E423-36 module has one interface to the INB and three front panel RJ-21 Telco connectors. The INB interface is a fixed connection to INB-2 that allows the 9E423-36 to communicate with other SmartSwitch 9000 modules supporting various LAN technologies, including Token Ring, FDDI, Ethernet, WAN and ATM.
  • Page 11 For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the NOTE 9E423-36 package. The 9E423-36 attaches to INB2 of the SmartSwitch 9000 Backplane. The INB has a capacity of 2.5 Gbps to interconnect SmartSwitch 9000 modules supporting Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, WAN and ATM networks. The INB transports fixed length data blocks between modules in the SmartSwitch 9000 hub using a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) design.

    Installing the 9E423-36 Module The 9E423-36 module occupies a single slot in the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. The INB Terminator Modules are purchased separately and must be installed on the rear of the chassis before powering up this module. Refer to the INB Terminator Modules NOTE Installation Guide for information and installation procedure.
  • Page 16 Installing the 9E423-36 Module The DIP switch on the 9E423-36 Module (shown in Figure 2-1), is an eight switch DIP located near the bottom left corner 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 by repowering the module, for the changes to take effect.

  • Page 24: Enib

    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.

  • Page 25: Inb Nib

    The Host engine sends and receives packets via the CPU’s SmartSwitch ASIC Interface. This allows the bridge to perform spanning tree protocol and other bridging functions. The SMB Interfaces provide communication to the Host Engine for management functions. INB NIB Each module that attaches to the Internal Network Bus (INB) has an INB Network Interface Block (NIB).
