Introduction
The 9F106-01 module, shown in Figure 1-1, is a two port FDDI router. One front
panel network connection can be made to this module and routed to any other
MMAC-Plus module via the FNB bus.
Chapter 1
Features
Processor
The 9F106-01 is equipped with an advanced IDT R4600 Fourth Generation 64 bit
RISC microprocessor. This microprocessor provides a platform for all
management functions within a scalable RISC-based architecture.
System Management
The 9F106-01 provides an interface to the System Management Bus (SMB-1) for
intermodule management.
Connectivity
The 9F106-01 provides one dual attached FDDI interface using two standard
Cabletron FPIMs.
Routing
The 9F106-01 provides Routing between the front panel interface 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.

Introduction
Management Information Base (MIB) Support
The 9F106-01 module provides MIB support including the following:
• IETF FDDI MIB
• IETF MIB II
NOTE
For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the
module package.
LANVIEW LEDs
The 9F106-01 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.
Hot Swapping
The 9F106-01 can be installed or removed from the chassis while the MMAC-Plus
is powered up without affecting the operation of the remaining modules in the
chassis.
