Overview

1.1.14 Distributed Chassis Management

From a management perspective, the 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis can be viewed as a single entity 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 separately by individual IP addresses. When using a single IP address, system wide settings can be done from the chassis menu in Local Management, while module settings are done by selecting the specific module to be modified and changing the settings for that module.

1.1.15 Optional HSIMs

The 6E233-49 provides a slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) for additional connectivity to various networking technologies. Any exceptions to the HSIMs that operate in the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch are listed in the Release Notes. The 6E233-49 is not capable of supporting VHSIMs.

1.1.16 Standards Compatibility

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3x, 802.3u, 802.1D, and especially 802.1Q standards. The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm (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 MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB), RFC 1354 (FIB MIB) and RFC 1190 (Path MTU Discovery). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting. For information on how to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact Cabletron Systems.

1.1.17 LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs

LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations. Chapter 4 provides details about the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch LANVIEW LEDs.

1.1.18 Year 2000 Compliance

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch module and 6C105 chassis have an internal clock that can maintain the time and date beyond the year 1999.
