Supported Devices

The SPECTRUM management modules SM-1076, SM-1082, SM-1088 currently allow you to model the following Chassis and SmartSwitch 6000 devices:

•The 6C105 Chassis (page 10), which is a modular chassis that can incorporate two load sharing power supplies and up to five SmartSwitch 6000 modules.

•The SmartSwitch 6000 Modules (page 11), which include Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and Carrier modules.

•Optional High Speed Interface Modules (HSIM), Very High Speed Interface Modules (VHSIM), and Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules (FEPIM) that plug into the SmartSwitch 6000 modules and provide high speed backbone interfaces to Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, WAN, and Gigabit Ethernet.

This guide does not provide device management information for the HSIM

Note:t : and VHSIM Interface Modules.

Networking Characteristics

The SmartSwitch 6000 is designed with a fully distributed switching architecture within each module, which allows the modules to be managed as a single entity, with a single module acting as a proxy agent for the chassis, see odesManagement Modes (page 9).

The SmartSwitch 6000 provides port mirroring, port trunking, broadcast control, Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN, and topology protocol, all in either traditional 802.1d mode or Cabletron’s SecureFast mode. Optional RMON support is also available.

The SmartSwitch 6000 can provide the following port connectivities:

•Switched Ethernet

•Switched Fast Ethernet

•MicroLAN Ethernet or Fast Ethernet

•Gigabit Ethernet uplinks

•OC-3, DS-3/E-3, and OC-12 switched ATM
