Welcome to Cabletron Systems

7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch

Installation Guide

. This manual is a simple installation and reference

guide. The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is a unique self-contained

module that can be placed into an MMAC series chassis

1.1 USING THIS MANUAL

Chapter 1,

Introduction

, discusses the features of the 7C03

MMAC SmartSwitch.

Chapter 2,

Installation

, explains the process of inserting the 7C03

MMAC SmartSwitch in an MMAC chassis.

Chapter 3,

Technical Specifications

, explains the physical and

operational speciﬁcations for the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch.

1.2 USING THE SMARTSWITCH MANUAL SET

Each SmartSwitch interface module that can be inserted in the

7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is shipped with a module user’s guide.

For example, the

7E03-24 Ethernet SmartSwitch Interface Module

User’s Guide

explains the physical characteristics, speciﬁcations,

and installation procedures of the 7E03-24 Module.

The management module of the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is

described in the

7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module User’s Guide.

The user’s guide explains the 7X00 Module’s physical

characteristics, installation procedures, and how to locally manage

the SmartSwitch interface modules in the chassis.

Refer to Chapter 2 of this installation guide for information and

considerations regarding the placement of a 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch in

an MMAC series chassis.

Introduction

In addition, any local management information that is speciﬁc to a

particular SmartSwitch interface module is described in a module

speciﬁc local management appendix. For example, the

7E03-24

Ethernet SmartSwitch Interface Module Local Management Appendix

explains information that is speciﬁc to local management of the

7E03-24 Module only.

1.3 7C03 MMAC SMARTSWITCH OVERVIEW

The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch (Figure 1-1) is a metal enclosure

that can be placed into two module slots of an MMAC chassis. The

7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch attaches to the MMAC chassis’ power

bus, but does not attach to the data channels on the chassis’

backplane. The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch can be installed or

removed from the MMAC chassis at any time without affecting the

operation of the rest of the network.

The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch has three module slots. The left-

most slot (slot one) is reserved for the 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller

Module, a management module that contains a Smart Switching

engine. The other two slots can support any combination of

Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and ATM SmartSwitch interface

module

Spanning the rear wall of the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is the

SmartSwitch Bus. All modules that are inserted into the 7C03

MMAC SmartSwitch connect to the SmartSwitch Bus. All

communication between modules within the 7C03 MMAC

SmartSwitch is achieved via the SmartSwitch Bus.

All data and management information from SmartSwitch interface

modules within the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is relayed along the

SmartSwitch Bus to the 7X00 Module. All switching functions are

performed by the 7X00 Module. Thus, within the conﬁnes of the

7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch, data can be freely transmitted

regardless of front panel technology. With no external bridges or

routers, the transfer of data from one point to another within the

7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is virtually direct.

Introduction

1-3

Figure 1-1. 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch

Because the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch does not attach to the data

channels on the backplane of an MMAC chassis, data can not be

transmitted

internally

from SmartSwitch interface modules to the

other modules in the MMAC chassis. However, data can be

transmitted

externally

from SmartSwitch interface modules to any

other destination (in the same chassis or elsewhere) via

connections to the front panel of any SmartSwitch interface

module.

Introduction

1.3.1 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module

The 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module is the only processing

and management element in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch. The

7X00 Module has no front panel data ports. All data enters and

exits the 7X00 Module via the SmartSwitch Bus on the 7C03

MMAC SmartSwitch’s backplane. The 7X00 Module directs

incoming data to its intended destination by using a group of

Application Speciﬁc Integrated Circuits (ASICs) collectively

known as the SmartSwitch Core. All packet switching functions

are performed in the module’s SmartSwitch Core. The

SmartSwitch Core is capable of switching up to 750,000 frames per

second. The ﬁrmware on a 7X00 Module determines the

SmartSwitch Core’s operating mode (traditional switch or

SecureFast Packet Switch). The module’s CPU (an i960

microprocessor

) is used to collect management data of the

SmartSwitch system.

Note:

The 7X00 Module is not hot-swappable. Because the 7X00

Module is the only processing/management module in the 7C03

MMAC SmartSwitch, removing the 7X00 Module will sever

communications to all

SmartSwitch interface modules in the

7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch.

1.3.2 SmartSwitch interface modules

SmartSwitch interface modules in a 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch

communicate freely with each other via the 7C03’s SmartSwitch

Bus and 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module. SmartSwitch

interface modules can be installed or removed from the 7C03

MMAC SmartSwitch at any time without impacting the rest of the

network.
