Chapter 1 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.
Introduction 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.
Introduction The FNB backplane connection is a fixed connection to FNB-1 or FNB-2. This connection allows the 9E106-06 to communicate with other SmartSwitch 9000 modules supporting various LAN technologies including: Token Ring, FDDI, Ethernet, WAN and ATM. Bridging/SecureFast™ Switching 9E106-06 operates in two modes, as a traditional bridge, or as a SecureFast Switch. In the traditional bridge mode, the 9E106-06 makes filtering/forwarding decisions based on frame destination address.

Chapter 2 Installing the 9E106-06 Module The 9E106-06 Module may be installed in any of the 14 slots available in the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. To install the 9E106-06 Module, follow the steps below: 1. Remove the blank panel covering the slot that the module is being mounted in. All other slots must be covered, if modules are not being installed, to ensure proper airflow and cooling. 2. Carefully remove the module from the shipping box.

Installing an EPIM The Reset Switch The Reset Switch is located on the front panel, under the top plastic tab, as shown in Figure 2-4. It serves two functions: • Pressing the Reset Switch twice within three seconds resets the module. • Pressing and holding the switch on for three or more seconds causes the module to shutdown. Pressing and holding the switch again for three seconds restarts the module.

Function of DIP Switch Switch Function Description Clear Password-1 This module stores user entered passwords in NVRAM (Nonvolatile Random Access Memory). To clear these passwords, toggle this switch and then reset the module’s processor. Once the module resets, factory default passwords are placed in NVRAM. You can use these default passwords or, if desired, enter new passwords.

Chapter 3 Operation The 9E106-06 module is a seven port device, six front panel ports, each representing a separate Ethernet collision domain, and one backplane connection to FNB-1 or FNB-2. As shown in Figure 3-1, packets received through one of the six front panel Ethernet ports and destined for another SmartSwitch 9000 module are translated by the i960 Switch Processor into a FDDI frame format and then sent to FNB-1 or FNB-2.
Operation 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. SMB-1 Bus The SMB-1 is a 1Mbs 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.
Operation DC/DC Converter The DC/DC converter converts the 48 VDC on the system power bus to the necessary operating voltages for its host network services module. The diagnostic controller monitors and controls the operation of the DC/DC converter. FNB Interface SmartSwitch 9000 modules are designed with one of two attachment policies. One allows dual attachment of a module to either FNB-1 or FNB-2; the second allows dual attachment to both FNB-1 and FNB-2.

Appendix A EPIMs The 9E106-06 Ethernet Switching Module provides one port per channel for Cabletron Systems EPIMs. EPIMs allow connecting to the 9E106-06 using different media types. Cabletron Systems offers a variety of EPIMs whose specifications are explained in the following sections. NOTE Verify that the EPIM is the proper revision before installing it. See Installing the EPIM on page 2-4 for details. EPIM-T The EPIM-T is an RJ-45 connector supporting UTP cabling.
EPIMs EPIM-F1 and EPIM-F2 The EPIM-F1 and EPIM-F2 support Multimode Fiber Optic cabling. Each EPIM has an internal Cabletron Systems FOT-F™ Fiber Optic Transceiver. The EPIM-F1 is equipped with SMA Connectors and the EPIM-F2 is equipped with ST Connectors. Figure A-2 shows both EPIMs. Specifications for the EPIMs are listed in Table A-1. The link distance is up to 2 kilometers on the multimode fiber-optic cable as specified by ANSI MMF-PMD. Figure A-2. EPIM-F1 and EPIM-F2 Table A-1.
EPIM-F3 Table A-2. Transmitter Power Parameters NOTE Parameter Typical Value Worst Case Worst Case Budget Typical Budget 50/125 µm fiber -13.0 dBm -15.0 dBm 13.0 dB 17.5 dB 62.5/125 µm fiber -10.0 dBm -12.0 dBm 16.0 dB 20.5 dB 100/140 µm fiber -7.0 dBm -9.0 dBm 19.0 dB 23.5 dB Error Rate Better than 10 -10 The transmitter power levels and receive sensitivity levels listed are Peak Power Levels after optical overshoot.
EPIMs NOTE Transmitter Power decreases as temperatures rise and increases as temperatures fall. Use the Output Power Coefficient to calculate increased or decreased power output for your operating environment. For example, the typical power output at 25°C is -16.4 dBm. For a 4°C temperature increase, multiply the typical coefficient (-0.15 dBm) by four and add the result to typical output power (4 x 0.15 dBm + -16.4 = -17.0). Table A-3.
EPIM-A and EPIM-X (AUI Port) The link distance is up to 185 meters on the thin-net coaxial cables. Internal Termination Switch = On (internally terminated) = Off (need external termination) Figure A-4. EPIM-C Connector Type This connector type is a BNC receptacle, with gold center contact, for use with BNC type tee-connectors and RG-58 thin-net cable. Grounding For safety reasons, only one end of a thin-net segment should be connected to earth ground.
