SmartCell Switches
The SmartCell switch module (9A656-04 and
9A686-04) is a single-slot, hot-swappable module
for the SmartSwitch 9000. Each module provides
4.5 Gbps of ATM Switching fabric with 64K cell
output buffers that provide priority queuing and
the ability to communicate with other SmartCell
switches via a unique Cell Transfer Matrix (CTM)
backplane.
Each switch module holds up to four ATM
Network Interface Modules (ANIMs). There are
several different ANIMs available for these
modules that provide interfaces ranging from 45
Mbps up to 622 Mbps. ANIM options include DS-
3/E-3 over coaxial cable, OC-3 over unshielded
twisted pair, multi and single mode fiber, OC-12
over multi and single mode fiber, and OC-48 over
single mode fiber. This interface flexibility permits
scaling to even higher speeds in the future. All
physical interfaces--DS3, OC-3, and OC-12 and
higher--support UNI and PNNI as well as all
relevant ATM standards.
Carrier Module
The 9M426-02 Carrier Module for the
SmartSwitch 9000 combines voice, video, and
data. Technologies such as Frame Relay and
Gigabit Ethernet are integrated into the same
switching chassis. The 9M426-02 provides
securefast support for layer 3 switching as well as
port trunking for established load sharing.
Occupying two slots in the SmartSwitch 9000
chassis and equipped with two HSIM interfaces,
each capable of supporting a wide variety of
flexible LAN, WAN, or ATM options, the 9M426-02
is specifically designed for high-speed,
translational switching in the data center.

A CTM upgrade kit is required for use
with the 9A656-04 and 9A686-04
modules.

Since the Carrier Module (9M426-02)
does not represent a specific-
technology, it is not discussed in any
of the technology sections nor is it
represented in any of the model type
tables.
