Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 Ethernet manual Other FNB Modules

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

When frames have destination addresses for a different bus:

•the sending RIC MIM transmits the frames over its designated Ethernet bus;

•the other RIC MIMs on this bus receive the frames, and repeat them;

•the EMM-E6, after determining the source and destination, forwards the traffic accordingly.

In addition to providing management for these modules, the EMM-E6 also gathers Network, Board, and Port Level performance and error statistics for each individual RIC MIM on Channels B and/or C.
