EME Network Management Functions
The EME provides the following management and
control capabilities:
Configurations — When you are logged in using
the Administer password, you can configure the
EME and monitor the chassis environment.
Inventory — The EME provides a complete
inventory of Switch contents, including fans and
power supplies. The inventory lists current
software revisions for all installed modules. The
inventory system also supports a scratchpad
feature so that you can add custom information to
the EME display.
Power Management — With EME commands,
you can manage how the Switch reacts to low
power situations. The Switch can also provide
fault-tolerant power, which protects the Switch
against power supply failures.
SNMP Support — SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) is a protocol that the
Internet Engineering Task Force defined. The EME
acts as an agent in an SNMP-managed
environment. The agent responds to SNMP
requests and generates SNMP traps.
Telnet Support — With the EME
command, you can connect an EME to any other
Telnet device. The EME also supports incoming
Telnet sessions so that you can manage an EME
from a workstation with Telnet support or from
another EME.

In-Band and Out-of-Band Download — The
EME provides both in-band and out-of-band
downloads. In-band download uses TFTP (Trivial
File Transfer Protocol) through a network
connection. Out-of-band download uses
XMODEM software and the RS-232 serial port on
the front panel of the EME. The EME allows you to
download to multiple modules using a single
command.
Web Management Support — You can monitor
and manage the EME through the
CoreBuilder 9000 Web Management suite of
applications.
Transcend Network Control Services
Support — You can also monitor and manage the
EME through the 3Com Transcend Network
Control Services.
The backplane of the CoreBuilder 9000 8-slot
Enterprise Switch incorporates 280 Gbps of
bandwidth capacity in a passive and redundant
design. The backplane uses a dual, star-wired
interconnect scheme to connect each payload slot to
the primary and backup switch fabric module.
The backplane of the CoreBuilder 9000 8-slot
Enterprise Switch is constructed from a non-blocking,
passive, fully redundant design.
Five of these links (5 traces, each 2 Gbps) are
star-wired to each of the slots for the switch fabric
