Introduction This section introduces SPECTRUM Device Management documentation for SmartSwitch 6000 devices. This introduction to the Device Management documentation for Smart Switch 6000 devices contains the following information: • • • • explanations of basic SPECTRUM functionality and navigation techniques, refer to the documentation listed under Required Reading.
Supported Devices Networking Characteristics The SPECTRUM management modules SM-1076, SM-1082, SM-1088 currently allow you to model the following Chassis and SmartSwitch 6000 devices: The SmartSwitch 6000 is designed with a fully distributed switching architecture within each module, which allows the modules to be managed as a single entity, with a single module acting as a proxy agent for the chassis, Management Modes on Page 8.
Management Modes Standalone Mode You can configure the SmartSwitch 6000 to operate in three management modes: Distributed, Standalone, and Mixed. In this mode, each installed module provides its own management functions. You configure all of the modules in the chassis to Standalone mode and assign separate IP addresses for each module. SPECTRUM management is through the representative Device icons created for each module during discovery and modeling.
6C105 Chassis Figure 1: SmartSwitch 6000 Chassis Figure 1 shows the chassis with two power supplies installed and no SmartSwitch 6000 modules installed. When installed, the modules interface to the Frame Transfer Matrix (FTM) backplane in the chassis, thus each module has a separate, independent backplane connection to every other module in the chassis.
SmartSwitch 6000 Modules 6E Ethernet Modules The modules are divided into three groups representing three technologies: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Carrier. The groups are supported by SPECTRUM Management Module products as listed in Table 1. These modules provide the front panel ports and interface uplink connectivities listed in Table 2.
6H Fast Ethernet Modules Table 3: These modules provide the front panel ports and interface uplink connectivities listed in Table 3.
to manage the modules, including software emulation of the actual module attributes and functionality. Refer to Modeling on Page 60 for modeling instructions. Figure 2: IP Address 6H203_24 The model type designators for the SmartSwitch 6000 use an under bar to replace the dash in the device model number. For example, 6E122_26 refers to the model type for the 6E122-26 module. IP Address 10 1 .1 .

Undefined 1 Undefined The Repeater Configuration view provides information on the configuration and operating status of the selected repeater interface. This view is divided into the four areas described below (Repeater Management, Trap Management, Alarm Configuration, and Error Source).
Trap Configuration Traffic Alarms Allows you to enable or disable detection of Traffic Alarms. This area of the Repeater Configuration view allows you to enable or disable the following traps. Traffic Threshold Displays the threshold value for the number of packets that can be transmitted during the Timebase before generating a traffic alarm. This field is user-configurable from 1 to 4 billion. Link Traps Allows all packets indicating a change in link status to be reported within the trap database.
Error Alarms Allows you to enable or disable detection of Error Alarms. Possible menu selections are: Enable and Disable. No_Resource The number of times the module ran out of resources (i.e., lack of buffer space) and could not accept packets.

Model Information View This section provides a brief description of the Model Information view available for models of SmartSwitch 6000 devices in SPECTRUM. Model Information views provide descriptive and configuration information about SPECTRUM models of individual devices, interfaces, and applications. Figure 17 shows an example of the Model Information view accessed from the Icon Subviews menu for the 6E132_25 model’s Device Icon.
Modeling This section describes how to manually model a 6C105 chassis and a SmartSwitch 6000 module installed in the chassis and place the resulting device icons in their proper SPECTRUM views. Introduction AutoDiscovery is not recommended for use when the SmartSwitch 6000 is in Mixed Management mode, see Management Modes. The following topics are covered in this section: • AutoDiscovery vs.
actions as placing an already discovered module in Mixed Management mode or adding a new chassis or module to the network. • Modeling using the Chassis IP Address in the Topology view. You can also create the chassis IP address in the Topology view by modeling with the chassis’s IP address in the Topology view and all the models in the chassis will appear here. Locate the chassis Device icon in the Search Manager. Select an attribute by which you can search for your Chassis.
Figure 18: Preparation for Modeling Chassis Container View Before modeling the chassis, you should be familiar with the process of creating models and accessing views. Refer to Getting Started with SPECTRUM for Administrators and How to Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM for instructions. You should also be familiar with any network management and firmware requirements described in the 6C105 chassis firmware documentation.
