Introduction

NOTE

The 9E138-36 provides 12 ST-type multi-mode fiber optic connections for each of the three channels, for a total of 36 connections.

All ports function as repeaters for incoming data which retime and retransmit all packets.

Bridging/Routing

The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules provide Bridging/Routing between the front panel channels and/or to any other module in the chassis via FNB -1 or FNB -2 of the FNB bus. IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol is supported in all bridging functions.

Management Information Base (MIB) Support

All concentrator modules provide MIB support including the following:

•IETF FDDI MIB

•IETF MIB II

•Cabletron Enterprise MIBs

For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the module package.

RMON

RMON support (RFC1271).

LANVIEW LEDs

The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules use LANVIEW: the Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify the device, port, and physical layer status at a glance.

Hot Swapping

The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules can be installed or removed from the chassis while the SmartSwitch 9000 is powered up without affecting the operation of the remaining modules in the chassis.
