Introduction Supported Devices

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.

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

This guide does not provide device
management information for the HSIM

and VHSIM Interface Modules.

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

Introduction Supported Devices

Management Modes

You can configure the SmartSwitch 6000 to
operate in three management modes: Distributed,
Standalone, and Mixed.

Refer to the appropriate SmartSwitch
6000 module user’s guides for

Note:

Note:

Distributed Mode

In this mode, the 6C105 chassis can be viewed as
a single entity with a single IP address. The
chassis management functions are distributed to
all installed modules. This means that a single
module in the chassis (such as a 6E233-49) can
be used to manage all installed modules. You
configure all of the modules in the chassis to the
Distributed mode and assign a single IP address
to the chassis. SPECTRUM discovery and
modeling results in a single Device icon being
created in the Topology view for each
management module. This icon represents the
managing module. SPECTRUM management of
the modules is through these Device icons.

instructions on configuring the modules
for these management modes.

Standalone Mode

In this mode, each installed module provides its
own management functions. You configure all of
the modules in the chassis to Standalone mode
and assign separate IP addresses for each
module. SPECTRUM management is through the
representative Device icons created for each
module during discovery and modeling.

Mixed Mode

This mode provides a method of operationally
isolating a module (or modules) for security
purposes. You set an IP address for the chassis
and configure all non-secure modules in
Distributed mode. The secure module gets its own
IP address and is configured in Standalone mode.
SPECTRUM management is through the
representative Device icons created.

Introduction Supported Devices

6C105 Chassis

Figure 1 shows the chassis with two power

supplies installed and no SmartSwitch 6000
modules installed.

When installed, the modules interface to the
Frame Transfer Matrix (FTM) backplane in the
chassis, thus each module has a separate,
independent backplane connection to every other
module in the chassis.

The SPECTRUM Model

SPECTRUM lets you model and manage
individual modules or groups of modules on a
network installed in, or connected to, the chassis.
The models provide access to the information
needed to manage the modules, including
software emulation of the actual module

Spectrum Enterprise Manager Page12 SmartSwitch 6000

Introduction The SPECTRUM Model

attributes and functionality. Refer to Modeling

(page 61) for modeling instructions.

The model type designators for the SmartSwitch
6000 use an underbar to replace the dash in the
device model number. For example, 6E122_26
refers to the model type for the 6E122-26 module.

SPECTRUM’s AutoDiscovery (as well as manual
modeling procedures) results in the creation of
Device icons that represent the modules. These
icons provide double-click zones and Icon
Subviews menus that let you access views
displaying performance and configuration
information.

Figure 2 shows examples of the icons and Icon

Repeater Labels

The 6E123-50, 6E133-49, 6H123-50, and 6H133­37 modules have repeater ports. The repeater
ports on the 6E123-50 and 6E133-49 have a fixed
port speed of 10Mb while those on the 6H123-50
and 6H133-37 can be switched between 10 Mb
and 100 Mb. The repeater application
(CsRipEnetRptr) is used for 10 Mb and 100 Mb
support on all of these modules, see the

CsRipEnetRpt Repeater Application (page 46).

The Chassis Module Icon provides repeater
management via the Repeater labels, which
display repeater status and provide access to
views that display performance, configuration,
and frame statistics information.

The Repeater labels also let you control what type
of status is displayed on the Repeater Port labels
(administrative, link, or speed status), see

Repeater Port Display Form (page 27). The
Repeater Port Labels (page 28) let you set the

repeater port speed. The Repeater labels contain
the following labels.

Repeater Status

Displays the repeater operational status and
provides double-click access to the Performance

This view displays a statistical breakdown of
frame sizes and protocols for a selected repeater
port. The frame size and protocol breakdowns are
displayed in the form of pie charts and tables (as
described above for the Repeater Frame & Error
Breakdown view).

Repeater Port Display Form

This option on the Repeater label Icon Subviews
menu provides three choices: Admin, Link, and
Speed. These choices determine which
operational condition is displayed on the
associated Repeater Port labels. For example, if

Spectrum Enterprise Manager Page27 SmartSwitch 6000

Device Views Chassis Device View

you select Admin via the E1 Repeater label, the
Repeater Port labels associated with E1 (i.e., Ports
1 through 12) will display the administrative
status.

Repeater Port Labels

The 6E123-50 and 6E133-49 modules have 10
Mb repeater ports while the 6H123-50 and
6H133-37 modules have the capability of
switching ports between 10 Mb and 100 Mb
repeaters. For example, a 6H133_37 model would
have three 100 Mb repeater models, but
depending on the configuration, it might have six
repeater models, three at 10 Mb and three at 100
Mb. The CsRipEnetRptr application is used for all
these modules for either 10 Mb or 100 Mb
support.

The Chassis Module Icon provides Repeater Port
labels, which allow you to perform repeater port
management. The views accessible from the

This section provides a brief description of the Model Information view available for the models of SmartSwitch
6000 devices in SPECTRUM.

Model Information views provide descriptive and
configuration information about SPECTRUM
models of individual devices, interfaces, and
applications. Figure 17 shows an example of the
Model Information view accessed from the Icon
Subviews menu for the 6E132_25 model’s Device
Icon. Model Information views are also available
for each of the Interface icons in the Interface
Device and Device Topology views, and for each of
the Application icons in the Application view.
Although these views may vary slightly depending
on the particular entity being modeled, their basic
layout and content are similar for most
SPECTRUM management modules. Therefore
these views are described in the more detail in the
SPECTRUM Views documentation.

Modeling

This section describes how to manuallymodel a6C105 chassis and a SmartSwitch 6000 module installed in the
chassis and place the resulting device icons in their proper SPECTRUM views.

Modeling

Introduction

The following topics are covered in this section:

• AutoDiscovery vs. Manual Modeling (page 61)

• Manual Modeling Overview (page 62)

• Preparation for Modeling (page 63)

• Modeling Using the Chassis IP (page 63)

• Positioning the Chassis Device Icon (page 66)

AutoDiscovery vs. Manual Modeling

SPECTRUM’s AutoDiscovery is recommended if
you are modeling a network for the first time or
want to discover and model a network segment
after making changes to it.

AutoDiscovery is not recommended for use when
the SmartSwitch 6000 is in Mixed Management
mode, see Management Modes (page 9).

Autodiscovery involves manually modeling a seed
router, bridge, or switch (if such a model does
exist) and then running AutoDiscovery one or
more times to complete the network model. You
then refine your autodiscovered network model to
improve management capabilities.

Refer to Getting Started with
SPECTRUM for Administrators and

Note:

Note:

The manual modeling procedures described in
this section should be used when making minor
changes to the network. This includes such
actions as placing an already discovered module
in Mixed Management mode or adding a new
chassis or module to the network.

How to Manage Your Network with
SPECTRUM for instructions on using

AutoDiscovery and refining your
network model.

Spectrum Enterprise Manager Page61 SmartSwitch 6000

Modeling Manual Modeling Overview

For proper device management, the module’s
Device icons appear in a Topology view and you
may place the chassis’s Device icon in a Room
Location view. This is true whether you use
AutoDiscovery or manual modeling, In some
instances, this may require you to copy and paste
Device icons into the proper SPECTRUM views.
The manual modeling instructions given in this
section describe how this is accomplished.

Manual Modeling Overview

The following alternatives exist for modeling your
network components manually.

• Modeling using the chassis IP address in a
Location View. Create a chassis model within
a Room Location view using the chassis’s IP
address. Once the chassis is modeled,
SPECTRUM’s distributed management
feature identifies and models the modules
contained in the chassis and places their
Device icons in the chassis’s Container view.
You then copy and paste the Device icons into
the Topology view.

• Modeling using in the Topology view. You
can also create the chassis IP address in the
Topology view by modeling with the chassis’s
IP address in the Topology view and all the
models in the chassis will appear here. Locate

the chassis Device icon in the Find view.
Access the Find you by selecting View>New
View> Find. Select an attribute by which you
can search for your Chassis. Create a Room
Location view and copy the chassis Device
icon into the Room Location view.

This only works when models are in

Container View

Access: From the Icon Subviews men for the Chassis

Device icon, select Container.

This view (Figure 18) displays Location view
Device icons for each module modeled in
SPECTRUM and contained in the chassis.

Preparation for Modeling

Before modeling the chassis, you should be
familiar with the process of creating models and
accessing views. Refer to Getting Started with

SPECTRUM for Administrators and How to
Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM for

instructions. You should also be familiar with any
network management and firmware requirements
described in the 6C105 chassis firmware
documentation.

For proper modeling, the chassis and its
installed modules must not be in Mixed
Management mode. Each module should

Caution:

Caution:

have its own IP address or the chassis
should be configured with a single IP
address.

Modeling Using the Chassis IP

The chassis model can only be place in a Room
Location view. The Room Location view is created
by starting at the Universe level view and navigate
into the Room Location level, as described below.

1 At the Universe level, select View > New View

> Location.

This places you at the top level of the Location
views.
