Introduction The 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 shown in Figure 1-1, are 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interface modules for the Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. The 9H532-24 provides 24 RJ45 10/100 Ethernet ports and the 9H533-24 provides 24 10/100 Ethernet ports via two RJ21 Telco ports. The 9H531-24 provides 24 MTRJ MMF switched ports and the 9H539-24 provides 24 SMF switched ports.

Introduction Auto-Negotiation The twisted pair ports on the front panel of the 9H532-24 and 9H533-24 modules have the ability to auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information ÒtellingÓ each other what their operating capabilities are. The Auto- Negotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached between the two devices.

Introduction single link. All links are user-conÞgurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links. The beneÞts of SmartTrunking include the following: ¥ All purchased bandwidth is used. ¥ Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance. ¥ Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum ßexibility.

Introduction Broadcast Suppression Broadcast Suppression enables a user to set a desired limit of receive broadcast frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports on the module up to the set limit. Any broadcast frames above this speciÞed limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched.

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).
Introduction take part in the registration and de-registration of GARP attributes such as VLAN and multicast group membership. LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations.
User Accessible Components Figure 2-1 shows the various components that are accessible to the user. These consist of an eight-position DIP switch, replaceable PROMs and sockets for RAM. These components will be used for future upgrades. Instructions for installing the components will be supplied with the upgrade kit.

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 Þrst step in this process is to conÞgure the BootP server. ConÞgurations of BootP servers can differ from platform to platform and from one operating system to another.

3. Grasp the module and slide it into the slots. Make sure that the moduleÕs circuit card is between the card guides, as shown in Figure 2-2. Check both the upper and lower tracks of the card. Take care that the module slides in straight and engages the backplane connectors properly.
¥ To reset the moduleÕs i960 processor, press the reset switch twice within three seconds. ¥ To shut down the module, press and hold the reset switch for three or more seconds. ¥ To restart the module, press the reset switch momentarily.
Cabling Requirements 10BASE-T Network When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to the front panel ports of a 9H532-24 or a 9H533-24 module, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T. If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used.
IEEE 802.1 switching, or SecureFast switching. The modules support only one of these modes of operation at any one time. When operating in traditional IEEE 802.1 switch mode, the 9H532-24, 9H533-24, 9H531-24 and 9H539-24 make Þltering/forwarding decisions based on Destination Address (DA), with standard IEEE 802.1D learning.
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.
Technical Overview 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 Each module attaches to both INB A and INB B and has two INB ASICs.
The 9H532-24 and 9H533-24 have an LED mode switch, located on the front panel, that allows the user to change the function of the switch port LEDs. Refer to Figure 4-1. When the switch is in the UP position, the LEDs indicate the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) status of the Þxed ports.
