Chapter 1 Introduction The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17, shown in Figure 1-1, are SmartSwitch® Modules for the SmartSwitch 9000. The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 are seventeen port switch modules, with sixteen 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX ports and one VHSIM (Very High Speed Interface Module), on the front panel. The VHSIM port accepts either HSIM or VHSIM, multi-technology interface modules. This provides support for Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, Fast Ethernet, FDDI and WAN.

Introduction Auto-Negotiation - Speed/Duplex Mode The twisted pair ports on the front panel of the 9H532-17 module have the ability to auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information “telling” each other what their operating capabilities are. The AutoNegotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached between the two devices.
Introduction SmartTrunk SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple links of any technology together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link. All links are user-configurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links.
Introduction Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-specific extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by setting an RMON Event and/or Alarm. An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a broadcast threshold is crossed.

Priority Queuing Configuration Priority Indicator Transmit Queue 7 3 6 3 5 2 4 2 3 1 2 0 1 0 0 1 Switching Options The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 provide IEEE Standard-based 802.1 switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services. In the 802.1 mode (the default mode of operation), the switch functions as an 802.1D switch. When until VLANs are configured, it operates as an 802.1Q switch.
Introduction Optional HSIM and VHSIM The modules provide a slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) or Very High Speed Interface Module (VHSIM) for additional connectivity to various networking technologies. The Release Notes that are shipped with the product list exceptions to the HSIMs and VHSIMs that operate in the modules.

Chapter 2 Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module Only qualified personnel should perform installation procedures. Unpacking the Module 1. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box. (Save the box and packing materials in the event the module must be reshipped.) 2. Remove the module from the plastic bag. Observe all precautions to prevent damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). 3. Carefully examine the module, checking for damage. If any damage exists, DO NOT install the module.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module 2. Attach the antistatic wrist strap (refer to the instructions outlined on the antistatic wrist strap package). 3. Unlock the top and bottom plastic locking tabs of the module faceplate. 4. Slide out the module, and place it on its side with the internal components facing up. 5. Remove and save the two faceplate mounting screws securing the HSIM/VHSIM coverplate and remove the coverplate. 6. Remove and save the two standoff screws. 7.

Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module An eight-position DIP switch is located on the module card as shown in Figure 2-1. The function of the switches are listed in Table 2-1. See the Cautions at the end of this table. Table 2-1. Function of DIP Switch Switch Function Description 8 Clear Password 1 When toggled, this switch clears user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM, and restores the default passwords. Once reset you can use the defaults or enter new passwords.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module ! 1. Caution: Do not toggle Switch 8 unless you intend to reset the userconfigured passwords to their factory default settings. CAUTION 2. Caution: Do not toggle Switch 7 unless you intend to reset the user parameters to the factory default settings. Using DIP Switch 6 The purpose of DIP switch 6 is to force a Flash download from a BootP server through the EM-EPIM. The first step in this process is to configure the BootP server.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module Installing the Module into the SmartSwitch 9000 Chassis To install the SmartSwitch 9000 module, follow the steps below: NOTE The INB Terminator Modules must be installed on the rear of the fourteen slot chassis before powering up this module. The INB Terminator Modules are not required on the six slot chassis. Refer to the INB Terminator Modules Installation Guide for information and installation procedure. 1.

Lock down the top and bottom plastic tabs at the same time, applying even pressure. Figure 2-2.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module The Reset Switch The Reset switch is located under the top plastic tab as shown in Figure 2-3. Use the reset switch to reset the module’s processor, shutdown (power down) the module, and/or restart the module. • • • To reset the module’s i960 processor, press the reset switch twice within three seconds. To shut down the module, press and hold the reset switch for three or more seconds. To restart the module, press the reset switch momentarily.
Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module Cabling Requirements 10BASE-T Network When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to the front panel ports of a 9H532-17 module, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T. If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3 cabling can be used.

Chapter 3 Technical Overview SmartSwitch Architecture The SmartSwitch Architecture of the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 modules, as shown in Figure 3-1, are configurable for one of two modes of operation: traditional IEEE 802.1 switching, or SecureFast switching. The modules support only one of these modes of operation at any one time. When operating in traditional IEEE 802.1 switch mode, the 9H531-17 and 9H53217 make filtering/forwarding decisions based on Destination Address (DA), with standard IEEE 802.

Technical Overview System Management Buses There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and inter-module management communication. SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity modules, power supply modules and the environmental module.
Technical Overview System Diagnostic Controller This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its supporting logic. The diagnostic controller is designed to control the power-up sequencing of modules, monitor the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 input and output power parameters, keep watch over the main host processor, as well as monitor the temperature and control the SMB LANVIEW diagnostic LED.
Chapter 4 LANVIEW LEDs The front panel LANVIEW LEDs indicate the status of the module and may be used as an aid in troubleshooting. Figure 4-1 shows the LANVIEW LEDs of the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 modules. The LED Mode Switch The 9H532-17 has an LED mode switch, located on the front panel, that allows the user to change the function of the switch port LEDs. Refer to Figure 4-1. When the switch is in the UP position, the LEDs indicate the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) status of the fixed ports.
