  • Page 11: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Introduction The 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 (Figure 1-1) are switching modules for the SmartSwitch 9000. Each module has 18 ports. The 9H531-18 has: • 16 MT-RJ 100 Mbps multimode fiber Ethernet ports • 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports supporting hot-swappable GPIMs of either multimode or single mode fiber The 9H532-18 has: •...

  • Page 12: Features

    Introduction Features Processor The 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 modules are equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all management functions such as Spanning Tree, RMON, and MIB support, within a scalable RISC-Based architecture. Management Management of the 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 modules and SmartSwitch chassis and any optional equipment is accomplished using the Local Management application or remote SNMP management stations.

  • Page 14 Introduction Auto-negotiation The auto-negotiation feature allows the module to automatically use the fastest rate supported by the device at the other end (either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps at either half or full duplex). To negotiate duplex, the 9H532-18 module and the attached device must be configured for auto-negotiation.
  • Page 15 The 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 provide 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 until VLANs are configured, it operates as an 802.1Q switch.
  • Page 16 Introduction GARP Switch Operation Some or all ports on the switch may be activated to operate under the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) applications, GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) and/or GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP). GARP is a protocol, or set of rules, that outlines a mechanism for propagating the port state and/or user information throughout a bridged LAN to keep track of users and VLANs on the network fabric.

  • Page 21 The DIP switch on the module (Figure 2-1), is an eight-switch DIP located near the left, bottom 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 repowering the module, for changes to take effect.

  • Page 22: Using Dip Switch 6

    Installing the 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.
