Chapter 1: Introduction

1.3.3Distributed Chassis Management

From a management perspective, the 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis can be viewed as a single entity with a single IP address. Its management functions are distributed to all modules. This means a single module in the chassis, such as the 6H122-16, can be used to manage the entire chassis, and any other attached module through Local Management, SNMP, or Telnet applications.

1.3.4Switching Options

The 6H122-16 provides 802.1D switching, 802.1Q switching, or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel interfaces.

SecureFast switching and 802.1Q switching allow for future migration to Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.

1.3.5Full Duplex Switched Ethernet

Ports 1 through 14 support Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE) operation if the port is operating in Standard Ethernet mode (10 Mbps). This provides up to 20 Mbps of bandwidth. Ports 15 and 16 also support Full Duplex operation in Fast Ethernet mode (100 Mbps). This provides up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth.

1.3.6Remote Monitoring

The 6H122-16 supports all Ethernet Remote Monitoring (RMON) groups, which include Statistics, Alarms, Events and History. These four groups are enabled on all ports by default.

Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-speciﬁc extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON Event and/or Alarm. An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a broadcast threshold is crossed.
