Introduction Module Descriptions
Device Management Page 11 SmartSwitch 9000/9500 Series
Ethernet MicroLAN Switch
Modules
The Ethernet MicroLAN Switch Module is a four
channel Ethernet to FDDI bridge. Up to three
front panel Ethernet networks can be connected
to this module. These networks can be bridged to
any other Ethernet or FDDI segment, and to any
other MMAC-Plus card via the FNB bus. The
Ethernet MicroLAN device is equipped with an
advanced Intel i960 microprocessor that provides
a platform for all management functions within a
scalable RISC-based architecture. Three 50-pin
front panel ports provide 12 individual Ethernet
connections each. All ports function as repeaters,
for incoming data which retime and retransmit all
packets. Bridging between the front panel
channels and/or to any other module in the
chassis is done via FDDI ring 1 or FDDI ring 2 of
the FNB bus.
