Introduction1-2FeaturesProcessorThe 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 modules are equipped with an advanced Intel i960microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all managementfunctions such as Spanning Tree, RMON, and MIB support, within a scalableRISC-Based architecture.ManagementManagement of the 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 modules and SmartSwitch chassisand any optional equipment is accomplished using the Local Managementapplication or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management isaccessible through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a local VT100terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via aTelnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMPcompliant Network Management Software.Local Management provides the ability to manage the 9H531-18 and 9H532-18.Local Management information for non-Ethernet HSIMs or VHSIMs is includedin their respective user’s guide. For details on how to get manuals, refer to theRelated Manuals section in the Introduction.WebViewThe 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 modules can be managed by Cabletron WebView, abrowser-based utility. There is no software to install as this managementcapability is built into each module. For more information see the CabletronSystems WebView User’s Guide.ConnectivityThe 9H531-18 and 9H532-18 modules have two interfaces to INB A and Bbackplanes, and 18 front port connections. The INB interfaces are fixedconnections to INB-A and B that allow the modules to communicate with otherSmartSwitch 9000 modules supporting various LAN technologies including,Token Ring, FDDI, Ethernet, WAN, Fast Ethernet and ATM. The 9H531-18 isconfigured with sixteen MT-RJ multimode fiber connectors (compliant with the802.3u IEEE 100Base-FX specifications) and two Gigabit Uplink Ports. The9H532-18 is configured with sixteen RJ45 UTP connectors and two Gigabit UplinkPorts. The sixteen RJ45 connectors (compliant with IEEE 802.3u) provide sixteenIEEE 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet ports. The two Gigabit, GPIM connectors(compliant with IEEE 802.3z) provide support for multimode, single mode fiber.GPIMs are not included with the module and are purchased separately. GPIMsare Hot Swappable, i.e., the user can plug a GPIM into the front of the modulewithout taking the module out of the chassis. Currently supported GPIMsinclude: multimode fiber (GPIM-01) and single mode fiber (GPIM-09).
