1-1Chapter 1IntroductionThe 9E423-36 (Figure 1-1) is a 36-port switching module. Three RJ-21 Telcoconnectors support 36 10BASE-T ports with a port connecting to the InternalNetwork Bus (INB) backplane interface. This module uses a SmartSwitch ASICdesign and an advanced Intel i960® microprocessor. This microprocessor providesa platform for all management functions within a scalable RISC-Basedarchitecture.The module can operate in two modes: as a 36-port Ethernet traditional switch(using 802.1d standards) with a high speed backbone connection or as a SecureFast Switch (SFS) with 36 Ethernet connections. Each port of the 9E423-36 can beconfigured to operate in the Full Duplex mode. This configuration allows eachport to provide a full 20 Mbps of bandwidth for file servers or high end userintensive workstations.Network management information is available through a variety of methods. Allinformation based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) isaccessible either via an in-band (Front Panel port), Side Band (SMB-10), or via theEnvironmental Module’s COM ports. Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) orPoint-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is supported by the Environmental Module’s COMports. For more information on the SMB-10, SLIP or PPP, refer to the SmartSwitch9000 Local Management User’s Guide.The 9E423-36 also features front panel LANVIEW™ Diagnostic LEDs to offer at-a-glance status information about each front panel port, as well as the operation ofthe overall module.Ethernet networks are connected to the 9E423-36 module through three standardRJ-21 Telco connectors built in the front of the module. Each connector provides12 Ethernet 10BASE-T connections for UTP and STP links up to 100 meters long. |
