Introduction

The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 (Figure 1-1) are switching modules that

provide either 12 or 36 ports, depending on the module. The 9E428-12/36 provide

Ethernet ﬁber-optic 10Base-FL connectivity via multimode ST (straight through)

connectors, while the 9E429-12/36 modules use single mode ST connectors. There

are two ST connectors for each port, one for transmit and one for receive. Each

module also provides an additional port that connects directly to the Internal

Network Bus (INB) backplane interface. These modules use a SmartSwitch ASIC

design and an advanced Intel i960

microprocessor. This microprocessor provides

a platform for all management functions within a scalable RISC-Based

Architecture.

These modules can operate in two modes: either as a 12/36 port Ethernet

traditional switch (using 802.1d standards) with a high speed backbone

connection, or as a Secure Fast Switch (SFS) with 12/36 Ethernet connections.

Each port can be conﬁgured to operate in the Full Duplex mode. This

conﬁguration allows each port to provide a full 20 Mbps of bandwidth for ﬁle

servers or high-end, user-intensive work stations.

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

information based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is

accessible either via an in-band (front panel port), Side Band (SMB-10), or via the

Environmental Module’s COM ports. Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is supported by the Environmental Module’s COM

ports. For more information on the SMB-10, SLIP or PPP, refer to the SmartSwitch

9000 Local Management User’s Guide.

The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 also feature front panel LANVIEW™

Diagnostic LED’s to offer at-a-glance status information about each front panel

port, as well as the operation of the overall module.

Introduction

Features

Processor

The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 modules are equipped with an advanced Intel

i960 microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all management

functions such as Spanning Tree, RMON, and MIB support, within a scalable

RISC-Based architecture.

Fast Packet Switching

The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 modules incorporate a hardware based switch

design referred to as the SmartSwitch ASIC, a collection of custom ASICs

designed speciﬁcally for high speed switching. Because all frame translation,

address lookups, and forwarding decisions are performed in hardware, these

modules can obtain a throughput performance of greater than 750K pps.

Management

The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 feature 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. 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

(RFC1271), IETF MIB II (RFC-1213), IETF Bridge MIB (RFC-1493), and a host of

other Cabletron enterprise MIBs. These modules also offer you a wide variety of

statistical network management information to enhance network planning and

troubleshooting. The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 provide information for each

front panel Ethernet 10BASE-FL port, including packet counts along with errored

frame information such as collisions, CRCs, and Giants, via a variety of industry

standard and private MIBS. Industry standard IEEE 802.1d bridging, including

Spanning Tree Algorithm, is supported.

Connectivity

The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 modules have one interface to the INB and

either 12 or 36 front port ST connectors. The INB interface is a ﬁxed connection to

INB-B that allows the 9E428 and 9E429 modules to communicate with other

SmartSwitch 9000 modules supporting various LAN technologies including:

Token Ring, FDDI, Ethernet, WAN and ATM. The 9E428-12/36 multimode ST

connectors provide 12 or 36 Ethernet 10BASE-FL connections, with links up to

2000 meters in length, when operating in half duplex. The 9E429-12/36 single

mode ST connectors provide 12 or 36 Ethernet 10BASE-FL connections, with links

up to 5000 meters in length, when operating in half duplex.

Standard Ethernet/Full Duplex Operation

The 9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 modules support 10BASE-FL. The use of

10BASE-FL allows each port on the modules to be conﬁgured, through local and

or remote management (SNMP), to operate in standard Ethernet mode (simplex)
