Product Introduction
What Are the SmartSwitch Router 510 and
SmartSwitch Router 520?
The SmartSwitch Router SSR-510 and SmartSwitch Router SSR-520 (also
referred to in this manual as the SSR-510 and SSR-520 routers) provide
multiprotocol routin g for linking Ethernet LA Ns to corporate Wide Area
Networks (WAN).
The routers offer fle xi ble sof twa re s uppo rt tha t ca n be tai lo re d to t he n eeds of
specific remote environments.
The SSR-510 and SSR-520 routers are ava ilable with Multi protocol Softwa re.
Protocol support, for your package, is described in the Cabletron Distributed Routing Software Release Notes.
The SSR-510 and SSR-520 standards-compliant technology ensures
interoperability in multivendor netwo rks.
SSR-510 Router
The SSR-510 router has the following port connections:
•One Ethernet interface, in either dedicated Ethernet (10Base2) or twisted
pair (10BaseT)
•One synchronous serial WAN port capable of T1/EI data rates
•One ISDN b asic rate interface (BRI) S/T-interface
SSR-520 Router
The SSR-520 router has the following port connections:
•One Ethernet interface, in either dedicated Ethernet (10Base2) or twisted
pair (10BaseT)
•Two synchronous WAN ports capable of T1/EI rates

Features
The SSR-510 and SSR-520 routers include the following features.
Performance and Memory
The SSR-510 and SSR-520 ro uters contain the following perf ormance and
memory features:
•Industry-standard processors operating at 22.5 MHz clock rates, and
utilizes 32-bit address and data buses for maximum bus bandwidth.
•4 MB of system flash memory.
•4 MB of system memory using PC compatible memory DSIMMS.
•Memory accesses are parity protected on a byte wide basis.
Configuration and Management
Product Introduction
The following configuration and management options are available:
•Support for the following configuration options:
–– EasyStart configuration loader
–– Graphical User Interface (GUI) using the clearVISN Router
Configurator tool
–– Command Line Interface (CLI) using the console port
–– CLI using Telnet
•Upgradeable device firmware (in nonvolatile Flash memory) using
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for monitoring.

Product Introduction
EasyStart
EasyStart is a feature tha t allows you to downlin e load confi gurat ion file s
that are stored on a server via BOOTP/TFTP.
Using EasyStart and the clearVISN Router Configurator eliminates the
need for configuring the router using the Command Line Interface (CLI).
When the router is booted, it autoconfigures all interfaces and sends out
requests to load its configuration file. Once the file is received, the router
automatically res tarts so that th e configur atio n parameter s specif ied in t he
file take effect.
Refer to the SmartSwitch Router 500 Series System Software Guide fo r
information about using the EasyStart feature.
