Page 16: Connectivity
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3.1 Connectivity The 6E128-26 and 6E138-25 connect to Ethernet networks or workstations through 24 ST ﬁber optic ports on the front panel. These ports support multimode ﬁber optic cables at lengths up to 2 kilometers. The ports are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-F compliant. The 6E129-26 and 6E139-25 connect to Ethernet networks or workstations through 24 ST ﬁber optic ports on the front panel.
Page 17: Switching Options
1.3.4 Switching Options The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 provide 802.1D switching (bridging), 802.1Q switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel interfaces including Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and High Speed Interface Modules (HSIMs). SecureFast switching and 802.1Q switching allow for future migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.
Page 18: Runtime Ip Address Discovery
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.3.8 Runtime IP Address Discovery This feature enables the modules to automatically accept an IP address from a BootP server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local Management. When the modules are connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the modules for an IP address.
Page 19: Remote Monitoring (Rmon)
1.4.2 Remote Monitoring (RMON) The 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 supports all Ethernet RMON groups, which include Statistics, Alarms, Events and History. These groups are enabled on all ports by default. Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor speciﬁc extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable.
Page 20: Smarttrunk
Chapter 1: Introduction 1.4.5 SmartTrunk SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple links of any technology together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link.
Page 21: Optional Features
OPTIONAL FEATURES Options for the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 are Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and High Speed Interface Modules, which add remote uplink capability. Cabletron Systems provides Fast Ethernet Interface Modules for the 6E12X-26 to support uplinks to 100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or high speed connections to local servers.
