Chapter 1 Introduction The 9M426-02 SmartSwitch Module shown in Figure 1-1, is a three port switch module with two front panel HSIM interfaces and one INB-2 backplane interface. With the proper HSIM, this module may be used as an ATM uplink for the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. Features Processor The 9M426-02 is equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all management functions within a scalable RISC-based architecture.
Introduction Connectivity The 9M426-02 module has one interface to the INB-2 and two front panel HSIM interfaces. Management Information Base (MIB) Support For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the 9M426-02 package. LANVIEW LEDs The 9M426-02 uses LANVIEW – the Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify the device, port, and physical layer status at a glance.

Introduction Related Manuals The manuals listed below should be used to supplement the procedures and technical data contained in this manual.
Chapter 2 Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module This module uses HSIMs for the front panel connections. They are not shipped with the module and must be purchased separately. For installation information, refer to the manual supplied with the HSIM. 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.

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 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 chassis before powering up this module. Refer to the INB Terminator Modules Installation Guide for information and installation procedure. 1. Remove the blank panel covering the two slots in which the module is being installed.

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 shutdown the module, press and hold the reset switch for three or more seconds. To restart the module, press the reset switch momentarily.
Chapter 3 Operation The 9M426-02 FDDI SmartSwitch Module is a three port switch module with two front panel HSIM interfaces and one INB-2 backplane interface. This module, with the proper HSIM, may be used for an FDDI, ATM, WAN and other high-speed connectivity for the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. 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 intermodule management communication.
Operation band from user data. Modules which share the SMB-10 bus periodically send out loop-back packets to ensure the validity of SMB-10. In the event a fault is detected on the SMB-10, the SMB-1 can be used as an alternate communication channel by the modules. System Diagnostic Controller This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its supporting logic.
Operation between the host processor, the INB backplane, and LAN/WAN interfaces on the front panel of SmartSwitch 9000 modules. The SmartSwitch ASIC can operate in two modes: as a traditional switch, or as a SecureFast Switch (SFS). When operating in traditional switch mode, it makes filtering/forwarding decisions based on Destination Address (DA), with standard IEEE 802.1d learning.
