Chapter 2 Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module

Introduction

Chapter 1

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17, shown in Figure 1-1, are SmartSwitch the SmartSwitch 9000.

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 are seventeen port switch modules, with sixteen 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX ports and one VHSIM (Very High Speed Interface Module), on the front panel. The VHSIM port accepts either HSIM or VHSIM, multi-technology interface modules. This provides support for Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, Fast Ethernet, FDDI and WAN.

This module connects to the SmartSwitch 9000 INB-A and -B backplane interfaces.

Introduction

Auto-Negotiation - Speed/Duplex Mode

The twisted pair ports on the front panel of the 9H532-17 module have the ability to auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information “telling” each other what their operating capabilities are. The AutoNegotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached between the two devices. For example, the module adjusts to 100 Mbps when the device on the other end of the connection can also adjust between 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. If the device on the other end of the connection can only operate at 10 Mbps, then the 9H532-17 adjusts to 10 Mbps operation.

When Auto-Negotiation is supported at both ends of a link, the two devices dynamically adjust to full or half duplex operation based on the maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. If the device connected to the 9H532-17 cannot auto-negotiate, the 9H532-17 interface operates according to the capability of the other device.

The 9H531-17 supports FDSE with 100 Mbps operation only. On the 9H532-17, each switched Fast Ethernet port can be conﬁgured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE) mode, with 10 or 100 Mbps operation. FDSE allows each port to provide up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth.

Runtime IP Address Discovery

This feature enables the modules to automatically accept an IP address from a Boot Strap Protocol (BootP) server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local Management.

When the modules are connected to the network and powered up, Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the modules for an IP address. If one has not yet been assigned (module and SmartSwitch 9000 chassis IP address set to 0.0.0.0), RAD checks to see if any of the module interfaces have a link. If so, RAD sends out Reverse Address Resolution Pr otocol (RARP) and BootP requests to obtain an IP address from a RARP or BootP server on the network.

The RAD requests start at an interval of one per second. The interval then doubles after every transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300 seconds. The RAD requests continue until an IP address is received from a RARP or BootP server, or an IP address is enter ed using Local Management.

Introduction

SmartTrunk

SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple links of any technology together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link. All links are user-conﬁgurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links. The beneﬁts of SmartT r unking include the following:

• All purchased bandwidth is used.

• Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance.

• Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum ﬂexibility.

NOTE

For information on SmartTrunk conﬁguration, refer to the SmartTrunk User’s Guide.

Management

Management of the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 modules and SmartSwitch chassis and any optional equipment is accomplished using the Local Management application or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the Environmental Module using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through WebView or any SNMP-compliant Network Management Software.

Local Management provides the ability to manage the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17. Local Management information for non-Ethernet HSIMs or VHSIMs is included in their respective user’s guide. For details on how to get manuals, refer to the Related Manuals section in the Introduction.

WebView

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 modules can be managed by Cabletron WebView, a browser-based utility. There is no software to install as this management capability is built into each module.

1-4

Remote Monitoring (RMON)

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 support all nine Ethernet RMON groups. The Statistics, Alarms, Events and History groups are enabled on all ports by default.

Introduction

Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor-speciﬁc extension of RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by setting an RMON Event and/or Alarm. An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a broadcast threshold is crossed.

Broadcast Suppression

Broadcast Suppression enables a user to set a desired limit of receive broadcast frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports on the module up to the set limit. Any broadcast frames above this speciﬁed limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched.

Port Redirect Function

The Port Redirect function, also referred to as “Port Mirroring,” is a troubleshooting tool used to map trafﬁc from a single source port to a destination port within the chassis. This feature allows all packets, including those with errors, to be copied and sent to an analyzer or RMON probe. The analyzer or RMON probe will see the data as if it is directly connected to the LAN segment of the source port.

Flow Control

Flow Control is a method of managing the ﬂow of frames between two devices. It ensures that a transmitting device does not overwhelm a receiving device with data. This enables the receiving device to communicate with the transmitting device, and to have it pause its transmission while the receiving device processes the frames already received. Flow control can be enabled or disabled on a port-byport basis. Both devices must support the IEEE 802.3x standard for ﬂow control to work.

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 support the following two types of ﬂow control:

• Frame based 802.3x

• Back pressure Frame based 802.3x ﬂow control is supported on all Ethernet ports operating in

the full duplex mode. Back pressure ﬂow control is supported on all Ethernet ports operating in the

standard mode of operation.

802.1p Port Priority

The IEEE 802.1p standard is used to assign a default priority to the frames received without priority information in their tag header, and to map prioritized frames to the appropriate transmit queues.

The default priority-to-queue mappings are shown in Table 1-1. This conﬁguration can be changed by the administrator.

Switching Options

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 provide IEEE Standard-based 802.1 switching or SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services. In the 802.1 mode (the default mode of operation), the switch functions as an 802.1D switch. When until VLANs are conﬁgured, it operates as an 802.1Q switch.

Standards Compatibility

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3x,

802.3u, 802.1Q, and 802.1p standards. The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 provide IEEE

802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability

of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. The 9H531-17 and 9H53217 support a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1573 (MIB II), RFC 1271 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB), RFC 1354 (FIB MIB), and RFC 1190 (Path MTU Discovery). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting. For information about how to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact Cabletron Systems.

1-6

GARP Switch Operation

Some or all ports on the switch may be activated to operate under the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) applications, GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) and/or GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP).

GARP is a protocol, or set of rules, that outlines a mechanism for pr opagating the port state and/or user information throughout a bridged LAN to keep track of users and VLANs on the network fabric. MAC bridges and end users alike can take part in the registration and de-registration of GARP attributes such as VLAN and multicast group membership.

Introduction

Optional HSIM and VHSIM

The modules provide a slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) or Very High Speed Interface Module (VHSIM) for additional connectivity to various networking technologies. The Release Notes that are shipped with the product list exceptions to the HSIMs and VHSIMs that operate in the modules.

LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs

LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations.

Year 2000 Compliance

The 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 modules and the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis have an internal clock that can maintain the time and date beyond the year 1999.

Using DIP Switch 6

The purpose of DIP switch 6 is to force a Flash download from a BootP server through the EM-EPIM. The ﬁrst step in this process is to conﬁgure the BootP server. Conﬁgurations of BootP servers can differ from platform to platform and from one operating system to another. Read the user’s manual on BootP and TFTP serving for the correct ﬁles to edit and the correct ﬁles to execute for the server. After conﬁguration of the BootP server the module can then have the switch state changed on dip switch 6 to initiate BootP and TFTP requests.

Installing the SmartSwitch 9000 Module

When the state of dip switch 6 is changed, the module begins requesting a BootP server in an attempt to receive a Flash image download. The modules boot PROM initiates a BootP sequence. During this sequence, the module requests an IP address and a ﬁlename from the BootP server. The module then requests a TFTP of the ﬁle and receives the download of the image. The module will not function until the Flash image is downloaded from the BootP and TFTP server.

If a BootP and TFTP are not intended at this time, this process may be stopped by resetting the module. Resetting is done by pushing the reset button on the module, power cycling the chassis, or removing the module from the chassis and re-inserting. (See section titled module again looks for a BootP server, but will time-out after about four minutes. After the time-out, the module boots from Flash memory. The next time the power is cycled, the module will boot from Flash memory and not request the BootP server.

Cabling Requirements

10BASE-T Network

When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to the front panel ports of a 9H532-17 module, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T. If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation only, Category 3 cabling can be used.

100BASE-TX Network

The 9H532-17 has RJ45 connections that support Category 5 UTP cabling with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms for 10 and 100 Mbps operation. The device at the other end of the twisted pair segment must meet IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet network requirements for the devices to operate at 100 Mbps. Refer to the Cabletron Systems

Cabling Guide

Technical Overview

SmartSwitch Architecture

The SmartSwitch Architecture of the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 modules, as shown in Figure 3-1, are conﬁgurable for one of two modes of operation: traditional IEEE

802.1 switching, or SecureFast switching. The modules support only one of these modes of operation at any one time.

When operating in traditional IEEE 802.1 switch mode, the 9H531-17 and 9H53217 make ﬁltering/forwarding decisions based on Destination Addr ess (DA), with standard IEEE 802.1D learning. 802.1Q VLANs are also supported.

Spanning tree operation for the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 is conﬁgurable to adhere to IEEE 802.1D, DEC, or none. The default Spanning Tree Algorithm is 802.1D.

Chapter 3

When operating in SecureFast switch mode, all ﬁltering/forwarding decisions are made on a DA-SA pair and its in and out port on a connection-orientated basis. SecureFast switching mode provides value-added network services including dynamic VLANs, Topology, Connectivity, IP Multicast, Control, Security, Application, Address Management, Dynamic Mapping, and Directory services. For example, Topology Services includes conﬁgurable options ranging from simple spanning tree implementations to fully-meshed active topologies. Other services and features supported in SecureFast switching mode are described in detail in the Cabletron White Paper, IP Host Communication in Bridged, Routed and SecureFast Networks.

System Management Buses

There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9000 system: the SMB-1 and the 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 9000. This bus is utilized by all diagnostic controllers in the system including connectivity modules, power supply modules and 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 SMB-10 may be used as an alternate communication channel.

Technical Overview

SMB-10 Bus

The SMB-10 is a 10 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000, which is also used for inter-chassis communication of modules as well as serving as an out-of-band management channel into the SmartSwitch 9000. 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 9000 is available out-ofband from user data. Modules which share the SMB-10 bus periodically send out loop-back packets to ensure the validity of 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

Technical Overview

System Diagnostic Controller

This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its supporting logic. The diagnostic controller is designed to control the power-up sequencing of modules, monitor the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 input and output power parameters, keep watch over the main host processor, as well as monitor the temperature and control the SMB LANVIEW diagnostic LED. Although the diagnostic controller and the main host processor can operate independent of each other if needed, they exchange information about each other’s 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 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 have been designed so that in the event of a diagnostic controller fault, the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 will 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 monitors and controls the operation of the DC/DC converter.

INB Interface

Each module attaches to both INB A and INB B and has two INB ASICs. The INB ASICs use 64-byte Ethernet frames for transmission onto the INBs at 66 MHz.

The 9X5XX modules are fully compatible with the ﬁrst generation 9X4XX modules. The ﬁrst generation modules communicate only on INB B using a 56-byte canonical frame format, at 40 MHz. If the newer module detects a ﬁrst generation module on the backplane, it automatically changes from the fast 66 MHz Ethernet frames, to the ﬁrst generation compatible 40 MHz canonical frame on INB B only. INB A is used only by the 9X5XX modules and remains at the higher speed.

i960 Core

The i960 core provides modules host services, the SNMP protocol stacks, to support industry standard MIBs, as well as Cabletron enterprise extension MIBs for each media type. Management services, such as telnet, WebView and network address to MAC address mapping, are also provided by the i960 core.

LANVIEW LEDs

The front panel LANVIEW LEDs indicate the status of the module and may be used as an aid in troubleshooting. Figure 4-1 shows the LANVIEW LEDs of the 9H531-17 and 9H532-17 modules.

The LED Mode Switch

The 9H532-17 has an LED mode switch, located on the front panel, that allows the user to change the function of the switch port LEDs. Refer to Figure 4-1. When the switch is in the UP position, the LEDs indicate the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) status of the ﬁxed ports. When the mode switch is in the DOWN position, the LEDs indicate at what speed the applicable port is currently operating (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) and if the applicable port is operating in standard (half) or full duplex mode.

Chapter 4

Table 4-4 and Table 4-5 provide the deﬁnitions of the LED states that occur when the LED mode switch is in the UP position. Table 4-6 and Table 4-7 provide the deﬁnitions of the LED states that occur when the LED mode switch is in the DOWN position.
