CHAPTER 2NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

Before installing the 6H12X-08 or Fast Ethernet Interface Modules,

review the requirements and speciﬁcations referred to in this chapter

concerning the following:

•SmartTrunk (Section 2.1)

•10BASE-T Twisted Pair Network (Section 2.2)

•100BASE-TX Twisted Pair Network (Section 2.3)

•100BASE-FX Fiber Optic Network (Section 2.4)

The network installation must meet the guidelines to ensure satisfactory

performance of this equipment. Failure to follow the guidelines may

produce poor network performance.

2.1 SmartTrunk

To connect the 6H12X-08 to a network so it can take advantage of the

SmartTrunk feature, there are certain rules concerning port connections

and conﬁgurations that must be followed for proper operation. Refer to

the Cabletron Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide for additional

information.

2.2 10BASE-T NETWORK

When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to an optional FE-100TX, ensure

that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE

802.3 standard for 10BASE-T. Refer to the Cabletron Systems Cabling

Guide for details.
