Operation

The 9T122-24 MicroLAN Module provides connectivity between the front panel
Token Ring(s) and the FDDI rings on the backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2).

Chapter 3

SmartSwitch 9000 modules connect to either the Internal Network Bus (INB) or
the Flexible Network Bus (FNB) bus. The 9T122-24 module connects to the FNB
bus. Figure 3-1 is a block diagram of the module. The front panel may be
configured as one Token Ring (

factory default ) or as two rings. In the two-ring

configuration, the rings function as individual networks, each with 12 ports.
Bridging/Routing may occur between these two rings and/or to any other
SmartSwitch 9000 module via the FNB.

Operation

Bridging

The 9T122-24 is configured for SRT bridging. It will pass SR (Source Routing)
frames between the rings and provides translation to transparent frames over the
FNB to Ethernet and FDDI modules. For information on configuring the bridging
function, see the addendum to the SmartSwitch 9000 Local Management User’s
Guide, containing information specific to this module.

Transparent Bridging

Transparent Bridging is accomplished by building a Source Address Table (SAT)
from source MAC/physical addresses and using the SAT to make forwarding
decisions.

The 9T122-24 prevents unnecessary network traffic from passing through the
module by implementing two separate filtering processes — IEEE 802.1d or
Cabletron’s Special Filtering Database. These processes may be used individually
or in tandem.

The first process, the IEEE 802.1D filtering process, begins with the creation of a
list of local node addresses in the SAT. When the 9T122-24 first goes on-line, it
initially forwards all packets across the bridge. After receiving a packet on the
bridge port, the 9T122-24 learns the address of the sending node from the packet
and stores that address in the SAT. In this manner, the bridge learns the address of
each node on each side of the bridge. The bridge then uses the addresses stored in
the table to compare the destination address of each subsequent packet that
travels to the bridge. If the destination address of a packet resides on the bridge
segment, the 9T122-24 does not forward across the Token Ring link.

The second filtering process, the Cabletron Systems Special Filtering Database,
provides an additional step in the filter/forward decision. Through Remote
Management, you can define up to 10 additional filtering parameters for
incoming network traffic. These parameters include (but are not limited to) the:

• Destination address

• Source address

• Type field (protocol)

• 64 bytes of the data field (using a data offset)

3-2

For example, using this process, you can ensure that the 9T122-24 always filters or
forwards packets with a specific protocol or address.

Source Route Bridging

Source Route Bridging operates by transmitting frames over a designated route.
Unlike T ranspar ent Bridging, all devices in a Source Route Bridged (SRB) network
“know” the locations of other stations within the network. Using a portion of the
MAC frame header known as the RIF (Routing Information Field), the source
device determines the route for the frames it sends.

In order for source routing to work, the source station must determine the proper
route to reach the desired destination. To accomplish this:

1. The source station sends out frames called All Route Explor er (ARE) or Single
Route Explorer (SRE) frames onto the network. All Source Route Bridges
recognize these frames and forwards them to their outbound ports.

2. The receiving bridges append their own route information to the Route
Information Field (RIF) in the MAC frame header and transmit the frame
again.

Operation

3. Eventually, the original source device receives all of the ARE replies from the
other end stations on the network.

4. From this information, the source device can determine a desired route for
each frame it transmits.

Spanning T ree Algorithm

The 9T122-24 promotes maximum network use in multiple-bridge environments.
A bridge learns the bridge topology of its network from bridge protocol data that
it receives from other bridges within the network. The bridges then apply the
Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) to select a root bridge, and then determine
primary data paths within potential data loop configurations.

Spanning T r ee Algorithm is a hierarchy (or tr ee) of priorities that bridges establish
between themselves. This hierarchy guarantees that primary and redundant data
paths are clearly defined at all times, so that the network is continuously available
to users.

In a multiple-bridge environment, one bridge in the network establishes itself as
the root bridge. As the root, this bridge has priority over all other bridges. In a
Spanning Tree, all of the bridges must determine which bridge is the root, and
then determine their own relative priority within the network.

3-3

Operation

Flexible Network Bus (FNB)

The FNB consists of two dual FDDI networks, the FNB-1 and FNB-2, providing
up to 400 Mbps of data bandwidth. These FDDI networks are 100% ANSI
FDDI-compliant supporting SMT (version 7.3), MAC, PHY, and PMD standards.
This allows the FNB to traverse multiple SmartSwitch 9000 hubs, or connect to
any ANSI FDDI-compliant device, through standar d A/B port connections, using
the FDDI repeater module.

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 inter­module management communication.

SMB-1 Bus

The SMB-1 is a 1Mbs 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 preformed 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.

SMB-10 Bus

The SMB-10 is a 10Mbs management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9000
that 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 that 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.

3-4

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 9T122-24 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 environment module. The 9T122-24 has been designed so that in
the event of a diagnostic controller fault, the module will continue to function.

Operation

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.

FNB Interface

SmartSwitch 9000 modules are designed with one of two attachment policies. One
allows a module to dual attach to either FNB-1 or FNB-2; the second allows dual
attachment to both FNB-1 and FNB-2. The 9T122-24 have one dual attachment to
the FNB backplane, connecting to either FNB-1 or FNB-2. The module can insert
into the FNB or bypass it. These flexible configuration options make the
SmartSwitch 9000 ideal for networks designed to Bridge/Route multiple lower
speed LANs to FDDI and/or networks designed using an FDDI collapsed
backbone.

i960 Core

The i960 core in the FNB module serves two major functions: it provides the
packet forwarding logic and performs all network management services. FNB
modules can be configured to run as layer 2 bridges, layer 3 routers or as
SecureFast Packet Switches. It is possible to run the bridging and routing options
concurrently, but the SFPS option cannot run with bridging and routing.

3-5

Operation

The i960 core provides the SNMP pr otocol stacks, as well as support for industry­standard MIBs. Additionally, Cabletron enterprise-extension MIBs are supported
for each media type. Advanced management services, such as the Distributed
LAN Monitor, RMON, telnet and network address to MAC address mapping,
are also provided by the i960 core.
