This document, the SmartSwitch 9500 9A600ATM Module Hardware and Installation

Guide , contains introductory, installation and speciÞcation information for the

support of the 9A600 SmartSwitch Module. Use this guide to learn about the
following topics:

Chapter 1

NOTE

¥ Overview of the 9A600

¥ Installing the 9A600 in the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis

¥ Installing ATM Network Interface Modules (ANIMs)

¥ Learning the hardware speciÞcations of the 9A600 and the available ANIMs

Prior to installing the 9A600, you should have a working knowledge of ATM
networking principles.

In this document, the Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 9000 chassis is referred to
as the “SmartSwitch 9500 chassis” which indicates a SmartSwitch 9000 chassis
with one or more 9A600 modules installed.

The 9A600 may also be installed in a SmartSwitch 9000 chassis, which indicates
a chassis without a Cell Transfer Matrix (CTM) backplane.

1-1

Introduction

Overview

The 9A600 (shown in Figure 1-1) is a 5.4 Gbps, single slot module for the
SmartSwitch 9500 chassis. Up to four ATM Network Interface Modules (ANIMs)
of any type can be plugged into the 9A600 to provide front panel connectivity to
the network. Cabletron Systems ANIMs can support up to 622 Mbps of
bandwidth per port. The 9A600 switches data between the ANIMs that are
installed in the module.

Through its distributed switching architecture, the 9A600 allows all the modules
in the chassis to appear as a single entity, with a single IP address and a single
ATM address. The individual i960 processors are transparent to the network
manager and management applications. A fully loaded SmartSwitch 9500 chassis
appears as a single switch, with one IP address, and one ATM address.

The 9A600 is fully compatible with the following ATM Forum speciÞcations:

¥ Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI) 4.0 for autoconÞguration.

¥ UNI v3.0 /3.1 and v4.0 for signalling.

¥ ATM Forum P-NNI 1.0 and IISP 3.0/3.1 routing speciÞcations for establishing

connections between ATM switches.

¥ IETF AToM MIB (RFC 1695) and AToM II MIB.

Related Manuals

Early Packet Discard (EPD) and Partial Packet Discard (PPD)

The 9A600 supports early and partial packet discard to help ensure that quality of
service parameters are met for all connections. EPD and PPD, in conjunction with
trafÞc policing, discard ATM cells that the end device would have to retransmit
(due to buffer overload, line loss, line bit errors, faulty cells etc.) thereby limiting
the amount of bad trafÞc present on the ATM network.

LANVIEW LEDs

The 9A600 uses LANVIEW, The Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic and
status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify the
device, port, and physical layer status at a glance.

Operation

ATM Cell Traffic Flow in the 9A600

The 9A600 SmartSwitch utilizes several innovative features that result in a
completely redundant, fault-tolerant design. The most important hardware facets
of the 9A600 features are the Cabletron Systems ASICs, and the i960 HD RISC
Processor.

Cabletron Systems ASICs

The 9A600 SmartSwitch utilizes four separate Cabletron Systems designed ASICs
to perform switching functions. Refer to Figure 3-1 to see how these four ASICs
work together to provide proper trafÞc ßow. The deÞnitions for these ASICs are as
follows:

Queue ASIC

The 9A600 has four Queue ASICs installed on the motherboard. These ASICs
support 16 priority queues each. The Queue ASICs support all classes of ATM
service including Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR), Available Bit
Rate (ABR) and UnspeciÞed Bit Rate (UBR). The Queue ASICs also manage all cell
transfers to the Utopia ASICs, using a weighted round-robin algorithm.

TDM (Time Division Multiplexer) ASIC

The TDM ASIC is the central switching engine of the 9A600. The TDM ASIC
maintains the connection table, gathers statistics, and provides Usage Parameter
Control (UPC) policing. The TDM ASIC supports up to 128k virtual connections.

SARI (Segmentation and Reassembly Interface) ASIC

The SARI ASIC is the interface that controls the data ßow between the TDM Bus
and the i960 Host Processor. The SARI ASIC has a 768-cell queue and provides the
trafÞc management features of the 9A600.

Utopia (Universal Test and Operation Physical Interface) ASICs

The 9A600 has four Utopia ASICs whose role is to process ATM cells from the
ANIMs to the TDM Bus, and vice versa. In addition, the Utopia ASICs are
responsible for performing path lookups and outbound header translation.

i960HD Processor

The i960HD processor, working with the four types of ASICs deÞned earlier, is
responsible for distributed management functions, signalling, SNMP
management and serving as the in-band management LAN Emulation Client
(LEC) for the module. The i960 also supports out-of-band management interfaces.

3-2

System Management Buses

There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9500 system:

¥ SMB-1
¥ SMB-10

These buses provide out-of-band management and inter-module management
communication.

SMB-1 Bus

The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9500
chassis. This bus is used by all diagnostic controllers in the system, including the
following:

¥ Connectivity modules
¥ Power supply modules
¥ 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 that share this bus to
ensure the validity of SMB-1. In the event a failure is detected on SMB-1, the SMB­10 may be used as an alternate communication channel.

System Management Buses

SMB-10 Bus

The SMB-10 is a 10 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9500
chassis, which is also used for inter-chassis communication of modules, as well as
serving as an out-of-band management channel into the SmartSwitch 9500. 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 9500 is available
out-of-band from user data. Modules that share the SMB-10 bus periodically send
out loopback packets to ensure the validity of the 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.

3-3

Operation

System Diagnostic Controller

This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its
supporting logic. The diagnostic controller performs the following:

¥ Controls the power-up sequencing of modules
¥ Monitors the 9A600 input and output power parameters
¥ Keeps watch over the main host processor
¥ Monitors the temperature
¥ Controls the SMB LANVIEW diagnostic LED

Although the diagnostic controller and the main host processor can operate
independently of each other if needed, they exchange information about each
otherÕs 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 environmental module. The 9A600 has
been designed so that in the event of a diagnostic controller fault, the modules
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 controls the operation of the dc/dc converter.

3-4

LANVIEW LEDs

The front panel LANVIEW LEDs indicate the status of the module and may be
used as an aid in troubleshooting. Shown in Figure 4-1 are the LANVIEW LEDs of
the 9A600 module. Refer to Table 4-1 for the full deÞnitions of 9A600 LED states.
