Page 17: Theory Of Operation
3 • Theory of Operation The RM921N is a VME‐based managed Ethernet switch with 12/24 port Gigabit, Layer 2/3, supporting IPv6. Moreover, the RM921N supports 100Base-FX interfaces through different hardware configurations. The management entity executes on an embedded processor. With a single slot solution, the baseboard supports 12 ports for GbE or 100Base-FX or a combination of both. -

Page 20: Switch Software Environment
3.2 Switch Software Environment The Switch Control services execute within the context of a standard Linux kernel. Using Linux as the basis for services has a number of advantages. On powerup, the Linux kernel goes through the basic initialization steps. Local configuration information is loaded from files saved on the switch. -
Page 21: Virtual Lan (Vlan)
Layer 3 and above, use information from the IP header. This can be an IP address, optionally qualified by port number. When a packet arrives, where the destination is not in the switch fabric database, it is “flooded” to applicable ports (i.e., VLAN setup may restrict the ports to which the packet will be forwarded). -
Page 22: Port Mirror
3.3.5 Port Mirror A Port Mirror is a mechanism which provides a method to observe traffic that is flowing on one port from another port. This can be very useful in a debug situation. If there is no access to a connection, a mirror‐to port can be created that can be attached to an external analyzer. -
