Introduction

The 9A426-01 ATM SmartSwitch Module is a hardware-based switching module

that supports multiple interfaces simultaneously. The module’s interconnecting

interfaces include:

• A front panel ATM interface via a user-installed ATM Port Interface Module

(APIM)

• A ﬁxed interface to the SmartSwitch 9000 Internal Network Bus (INB)

• A user-conﬁgurable interface to the SmartSwitch 9000 Flexible Network Bus

(FNB-1 or FNB-2).

Each data packet, regardless of the interface in which the packet enters the

module (ATM, FNB, or INB), is initially converted into a common format known

as a canonical frame. Each canonical frame’s header section contains source and

destination information. All canonical frames are forwarded to the module’s

group of SmartSwitch Application Speciﬁc Integrated Circuits (ASICs)

collectively known as the SmartSwitch Core.

The SmartSwitch Core can process data in two modes:

• Traditional Switch - When operating as a traditional switch, the Fast Packet

Switch makes ﬁltering/forwarding decisions based on Destination Address,

with standard IEEE 802.1d learning.

• Secure Fast Switch (SFS) - When operating in SFS mode, all ﬁltering/

forwarding decisions are based on a Destination Address-Source Address pair,

and the associated receive/transmit port.

Canonical frames that enter the 9A426-01 Module via the backplane interface

(FNB or INB) and are destined for the module’s front panel interface(s), are

converted by the module’s ATM Network Interface Block (ANIB) into 53 byte

ATM cells. The ANIB uses a separate set of ASICs to perform hardware-based

packet to cell conversions. This conversion process is an integral part of the

module’s ability to provide high-performance interconnections between legacy

LANs and ATM attached networks.

1-2

Conversely, canonical frames destined for the FNB bus on the SmartSwitch 9000

backplane are converted into FDDI packets via the 9A426-01 Module’s FDDI

Network Interface Block (FNIB), and then forwarded onto the FNB.

Canonical frames destined for the INB bus on the SmartSwitch 9000 backplane are

converted into ﬁxed length data packets via the 9A426-01 Module’s INB Network

Interface Block (INB NIB), and then forwarded onto the INB.

Features

Processor

The 9A426-01 Module is equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor.

This microprocessor provides a platform for all management functions within a

scalable RISC-based architecture.

SmartSwitch Core

The 9A426-01 Module incorporates the SmartSwitch Core, a collection of custom

Application Speciﬁc Integrated Circuits (ASICs) designed speciﬁcally for high

speed switching. The SmartSwitch ASIC bus is 64 bits wide with a bandwidth of

640 Mbps. Since all frame translation, address lookups, and forwarding decisions

are performed in hardware, the 9A426-01 Module can obtain a throughput

performance of greater than 750K pps.

Management

The 9A426-01 Module has one full implementation of SMT (Version 7.3) and

SNMP for local and remote management. Local management is provided through

the RS-232 COM ports on the SmartSwitch 9000 Environmental Module using a

standard VT-220™ terminal or emulator, or via telnet. Remote management is

achieved through Cabletron’s SPECTRUM or any SNMP-compliant management

tool. Switching statistics of the selected FNB interface include frames ﬁltered,

frames forwarded, and all Spanning Tree Protocol parameters.

Connectivity

The 9A426-01 Module is designed to accept two standard Cabletron ATM Port

Interface Modules (APIMs). However, only one APIM can be active at one time (a

second APIM becomes active whenever the ﬁrst APIM becomes inactive). Thus,

the second APIM is not necessary, but can be installed if physical layer

redundancy is desired. This redundancy protects against loss of data due to cable

failure, ATM Switch failure or APIM failure. If two APIMs are installed in the

9A426-01 Module, the second APIM does not have to be the same as the ﬁrst

APIM. For example, you can place an APIM-21 (multimode ﬁber) in one APIM

port, and an APIM-29 (single mode ﬁber) in the module’s second APIM port.

Cabletron APIMs are designed to accept a variety of cable types including: single

mode ﬁber, multimode ﬁber, twisted-pair, and coaxial.
