Introduction  
The 9M426-02 SmartSwitch Module shown in Figure 1-1, is a three port switch  
module with two front panel HSIM interfaces and one INB-2 backplane interface.  
With the proper HSIM, this module may be used as an ATM uplink for the  
SmartSwitch 9000 chassis.  
Features  
Processor  
The 9M426-02 is equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This  
microprocessor provides a platform for all management functions within a  
scalable RISC-based architecture.  
Packet Switch Engine  
The 9M426-02 module incorporates the SmartSwitch ASIC, a collection of custom  
ASlCs designed specifically for high speed switching. The SmartSwitch ASIC bus  
is 64 bits wide with a bandwidth of 320 Mbps. Since all frame translation, address  
lookups, and forwarding decisions are performed in hardware, the 9M426-02 can  
obtain a throughput performance of greater than 750K pps.  
Management  
The 9M426-02 module supports SNMP for local and remote management. Local  
management is provided through the RS-232 Com ports on the SmartSwitch 9000  
Environmental Module using a standard VT-220 terminal or emulator. Remote  
management is possible through Cabletrons SPECTRUM or any SNMP  
compliant management tool as well as telneting to the module. Management  
features including module MAC placement, front panel/ FNB configuration, and  
SMT statistics. Switching statistics on both HSIM interfaces provide frames  
filtered, frames forwarded, and all Spanning Tree Protocol parameters. The  
9M426-02 module supports the IETF MIB ll (RFC-1213), IETF BRIDGE MIB  
(RFC-1493), and a host of Cabletron enterprise MIBs. In addition, the front panel  
provides LEDs for transmit and receive activity.

Operation  
The 9M426-02 FDDI SmartSwitch Module is a three port switch module with two  
front panel HSIM interfaces and one INB-2 backplane interface. This module,  
with the proper HSIM, may be used for an FDDI, ATM, WAN and other  
high-speed connectivity for the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis.  
System Management Buses  
There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the  
SMB-1 and the SMB-10. These buses provide out-of-band management and inter-  
module management communication.  
SMB-1 Bus  
The SMB-1 is a 1Mbs management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000. This  
bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity  
modules, power supply modules and the environmental module. The SMB-1  
transports inter-chassis information between system components, such as power  
and environmental information, as well as diagnostic messages. Periodic  
loop-back tests are performed by all modules which share this bus to ensure the  
validity of SMB-1. In the event a failure is detected on SMB-1, the SMB-10 may be  
used as an alternate communication channel.  
SMB-10 Bus  
The SMB-10 is a 10Mbs management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000  
which is also used for inter-chassis communication of modules as well as serving  
as an out-of-band management channel into the SmartSwitch 9000. The SMB-10 is  
externalized from the chassis via an optional Ethernet Port Interface Module  
(EPIM) located on the front of the Environmental Module. Through an EPIM  
connection, full SNMP management of the SmartSwitch 9000 is available out-of-  
3-1  
 
       
Operation  
band from user data. Modules which share the SMB-10 bus periodically send out  
loop-back packets to ensure the validity of SMB-10. In the event a fault is detected  
on the SMB-10, the SMB-1 can be used as an alternate communication channel by  
the modules.  
System Diagnostic Controller  
This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its  
supporting logic. The diagnostic controller is designed to control the power-up  
sequencing of modules, monitor the 9M426-02 input and output power  
parameters, keep watch over the main host processor, as well as monitor the  
temperature and control the SMB LANVIEW diagnostic LED. Although the  
diagnostic controller and the main host processor can operate independent of  
each other if needed, they exchange information about each others status and  
overall module condition. The information gathered by the diagnostic controller  
is available to the network manager via local/ remote management and the LCD  
located on the environment module. The 9M426-02 has been designed so that in  
the event of a diagnostic controller fault, the 9M426-02 will continue to function.  
DC/DC Converter  
The DC/ DC converter converts the 48 VDC on the system power bus to the  
necessary operating voltages for its host network services module. The diagnostic  
controller monitors and controls the operation of the DC/ DC converter.  
INB Interface  
Each module that attaches to the INB has an INB Network Interface Block (NIB).  
The INB NIB converts canonical frames to fixed length data blocks for  
transmission onto the INB. For data blocks received from the INB, the INB NIB  
reassembles the data blocks received from the INB back into canonical frames for  
transmission to the SmartSwitch ASIC then from the SmartSwitch ASIC to the  
front panel ports.  
SecureFast Switch  
The SmartSwitch ASIC is a hardware based switch design that is the key building  
block of the SmartSwitch 9000. All filtering/ forwarding decisions are made in  
hardware as opposed to software as in traditional switches. This custom  
hardware allows the SmartSwitch ASIC to process over 150K frames per second.  
The SmartSwitch ASIC is designed to support up to 64 ports that are shared  
3-2  
 
       
Operation  
between the host processor, the INB backplane, and LAN/ WAN interfaces on the  
front panel of SmartSwitch 9000 modules. The SmartSwitch ASIC can operate in  
two modes: as a traditional switch, or as a SecureFast Switch (SFS). When  
operating in traditional switch mode, it makes filtering/ forwarding decisions  
based on Destination Address (DA), with standard IEEE 802.1d learning. When  
operating in SecureFast Switch mode, all filtering/ forwarding decisions are made  
based on a DA-SA pair and its receive port. These DA-SA pairs with the  
associated receive port are programmed into the switch using Cabletrons  
SecureFast Virtual Network Server (SecureFast VNS). This provides the network  
administrator with the ultimate network security without the performance  
degradation found when using routers or traditional switches with special  
filtering capabilities. The SmartSwitch 9000 enterprise switching system can  
support modules operating in traditional switch mode and SecureFast Switch  
mode simultaneously providing security when/ where needed and ease of  
configuration where security is not required.  
i960 Core  
The i960 core provides the SNMP protocol stacks, to support industry standard  
MIBs. Additionally, Cabletron enterprise extension MIBs are supported for each  
media type. Advanced management services, such as the Distributed LAN  
Monitor, telnet and network address to MAC address mapping, are also provided  
by the i960 core.  
The Host engine sends and receives packets via the CPU SmartSwitch ASIC  
Interface. This allows the traditional switch to perform spanning tree protocol and  
other traditional switching functions. The SMB Interfaces provide communication  
to the Host Engine for management functions and communication with other  
modules in the chassis.
