Introduction

Document Objectives

This document, the SmartSwitch 9500 9A656-04 ATM Module Hardware and

Installation Guide , contains introductory, installation and speciÞcation information

for the support of the 9A656-04 SmartSwitch Module. Use this guide to learn about the following topics:

Chapter 1

NOTE

¥ Overview of the 9A656-04

¥ Installing the 9A656-04 in the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis

¥ Installing ATM Network Interface Modules (ANIMs)

¥ Learning the hardware speciÞcations of the 9A656-04 and the available ANIMs

Prior to installing the 9A656-04, 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 9A656-04 modules installed.

1-1

Introduction

Overview

The 9A656-04 (shown in Figure 1-1) is a 4.5 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 9A656-04 to provide front panel connectivity to the network. Cabletron Systems ANIMs can support up to 622 Mbps of bandwidth per port. The 9A656-04 switches data between the ANIMs and the Cell Transfer Matrix (CTM) backplane in the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis. This allows for high-speed switching of data between modules installed in the same chassis that connect to the CTM backplane. The CTM provides a dedicated 1.6 Gbps link between each 9A656-04 module.

Through its distributed switching architecture, the 9A656-04 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 and the CTM backplane interfaces 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 9A656-04 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.

¥ LANE 1.0 for the management LAN Emulation Client.

Introduction

Features

The features of the 9A656-04 are described in the sections below:

Processor

The 9A656-04 is equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This microprocessor provides signalling, SNMP management, and serves as the in-band management LAN Emulation Client (LEC).

Cabletron Systems ASICs

The 9A656-04 contains Þve different Cabletron Systems designed ASICs that provide a variety of switching services. For more information on these ASICs refer to Chapter 3.

System Management

The 9A656-04 connects to the two System Management Buses (SMB-1 and SMB-10) for module management. Management features include the following:

¥ Power and environmental status monitoring ¥ PNNI and ILMI conÞguration ¥ SmartSwitch 9500 chassis IP address assignment ¥ Ability to conÞgure the in-band management LAN Emulation Client ¥ SmartSwitch 9500 chassis and 9A656-04 SNMP community names and trap IP

address assignment

¥ Ability to access Local Management screens of any module installed in the

chassis

Connectivity

The 9A656-04 can be equipped with a variety of front panel interfaces called ATM Network Interface Modules (ANIMs). ANIMs provide a variety of physical layer cabling options, including the following:

¥ Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) ¥ Multimode Fiber Optic Cable (MMF) ¥ Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable (SMF) ¥ Coaxial Cable

1-4

ANIMs are also capable of handling varying amounts of bandwidth including SONET OC3/SDH, and STS-3/STM-1 (155 Mbps), SONET OC12/SDH (622 Mbps) and DS3 (45 Mbps). In addition to ANIMs the 9A656-04 is physically connected to the Cell Transfer Matrix Backplane (CTM), which provides a dedicated 1.6 Gbps link between all 9A656-04 modules.

LANVIEW LEDs

The 9A656-04 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.
