OverviewIntroduction 1-71.1.14 Distributed Chassis ManagementFrom a management perspective, the 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis can be viewed as a singleentity with a single IP address. Its systems management functions are distributed to all modules.The chassis can be managed using a single IP address, or the modules can be managed separatelyby individual IP addresses. When using a single IP address, system wide settings can be done fromthe chassis menu in Local Management, while module settings are done by selecting the specificmodule to be modified and changing the settings for that module.1.1.15 Optional HSIMsThe 6E233-49 provides a slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) for additionalconnectivity to various networking technologies. Any exceptions to the HSIMs that operate in the6E233-49 SmartSwitch are listed in the Release Notes. The 6E233-49 is not capable of supportingVHSIMs.1.1.16 Standards CompatibilityThe 6E233-49 SmartSwitch is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3x, 802.3u, 802.1D, andespecially 802.1Q standards. The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning TreeAlgorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against“loop” conditions. The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBsincluding RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB), RFC 1354 (FIBMIB) and RFC 1190 (Path MTU Discovery).
