Introduction

The 9E132-15, 9E133-36, 9E138-12, and 9E138-36 MicroLAN™ Switch Modules, shown in Figure 1-1, are four channel Ethernet bridges and routers. Up to three front panel Ethernet networks can be connected to this module and they can be bridged/routed to any other Ethernet segment and to any other SmartSwitch 9000 module via the FNB bus (acting as the fourth port).
Chapter 1

Features

The 9E132-15, 9E133-36, 9E138-12, and 9E138-36 MicroLAN™ Modules will
NOTE
be referred to collectively as the Ethernet MicroLan Modules.
Processor
The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules are equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all management functions within a scalable RISC-based architecture.
System Management
The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules provide interfaces to the two System Management Buses (SMB-1 and SMB-10) for intermodule management.
Connectivity
The 9E132-15 provides four RJ-45 ports and one EPIM slot for each of the three channels. See Chapter 5 for information on the use of EPIMs.
The 9E133-36 has one 50-pin front panel for each of the three channels, providing 12 individual Ethernet connections each.
The 9E138-12 provides four ST-type multi-mode fiber optic connections for each of the three channels, for a total of 12 connections.
1-1
Introduction
The 9E138-36 provides 12 ST-type multi-mode fiber optic connections for each of the three channels, for a total of 36 connections.
All ports function as repeaters for incoming data which retime and retransmit all packets.
Bridging/Routing
The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules provide Bridging/Routing between the front panel channels and/or to any other module in the chassis via FNB -1 or FNB -2 of the FNB bus. IEEE 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol is supported in all bridging functions.
Management Information Base (MIB) Support
All concentrator modules provide MIB support including the following:
NOTE
IETF FDDI MIB
IETF MIB II
Cabletron Enterprise MIBs
For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the module package.
RMON
RMON support (RFC1271).
LANVIEW LEDs
The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules use 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.
Hot Swapping
The Ethernet MicroLan Switch Modules can be installed or removed from the chassis while the SmartSwitch 9000 is powered up without affecting the operation of the remaining modules in the chassis.
