Introduction

The 9E106-06 is a multi-port Ethernet Switch Module for the SmartSwitch 9000

that provides high speed IEEE 802.1D compliant bridging and SecureFast™

Switching (SFS).

Each 9E106-06 is equipped with two advanced Intel i960

RISC microprocessors.

One processor provides the module’s SNMP protocol stack for both IETF and

Enterprise MIB extensions. Additional higher-level management services such as

RMON and Distributed LAN Monitor (DLM) are also provided. The other

processor acts as the primary switching device, continually directing network

trafﬁc to the appropriate destination interface.

The 9E106-06 module provides six user conﬁgurable front panel Ethernet Port

Interfaces Module (EPIM) connections and one backplane connection to the

SmartSwitch 9000 Flexible Network Bus (FNB). The FNB is a dual FDDI

backplane channel that allows for reliable, high-capacity communications

between all FNB modules. Users on all six Ethernet segments can access the hub’s

Flexible Network Bus (FNB) and communicate with users on any other FNB

based Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, ATM or WAN module. Since each FNB

module translates its native user’s data packets to FDDI frames, all modules can

communicate without the use of any external or additional bridge or router

components.

Each EPIM Port is a single network segment that can operate in one of two ways:

as a host to a single user or as a host to multiple users through another multiport

switch, bridge, or repeater device. Ethernet networks are connected to the

9E106-06 using standard Cabletron EPIMs.

The 9E106-06 also features front panel LANVIEW™ Diagnostic LEDs to offer

at-a-glance status information about each front panel port, as well as the

operation of the overall module.

Features

Processors

The 9E106-06 is equipped with dual advanced Intel i960

RISC microprocessors.

One processor provides a platform for all management applications, such as

Spanning Tree, RMON, IETF and Enterprise MIB support. This network

management information is available through a variety of methods. All SNMP

based information is accessible either via an in-band (front panel port), side-band

(SMB-10), or out-of-band via the Environmental Module’s (EM) COM ports. For

more information on the EM’s COM ports or SMB-10 refer to the SmartSwitch

9000 Local Management User’s Guide. The other processor acts as the primary

switching device. This switching device can operate in two modes, as a traditional

bridge, or as a SecureFast Switch (SFS).

System Management

The 9E106-06 provides interfaces to the two System Management Buses (SMB-1

and SMB-10) for intermodule management. The SMB-1 Bus is only accessible to

modules. The SMB-10 Bus is accessible through the EPIM on the front of the

Environmental Module.

Management

The 9E106-06 provides local and remote management functions. Local

management is provided through the RS-232 COM ports on the SmartSwitch 9000

Environmental Module using a standard VT-220 terminal or equivalent, Serial

Line Interface Protocol (SLIP), or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).

Remote management is possible through Cabletron’s SPECTRUM or any SNMP

compliant management tool. Included as management features are the IETF

Standard Management Information Base (MIBs) RMON (RFC 1271), IETF MIB ll

(RFC 1213), IETF Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), FDDI 1512 with SMT 7.3 and a host of

other Cabletron enterprise MIBs. In addition, the front panel provides LEDs to

indicate LINK status per port, as well as transmit and receive activity.

Connectivity

The 9E106-06 module has six user conﬁgurable front panel Ethernet Port Interface

Module (EPIM) connections and one Flexible Network Bus (FNB) backplane

connection. Ethernet networks connect to the 9E106-06 module using standard

Cabletron EPIMs. EPIMs presently available include:

• EPIM-C For Thin-net Coaxial

• EPIM-T For 10Base-T Twisted Pair

• EPIM-F1/EPIM-F2 For Multimode Fiber Optic

• EPIM-F3 For Single Mode Fiber Optic

• EPIM-A For AUI Cable segment

• EPIM-X For AUI Cable segment
