Appendix

9M426-02 Module Specific
Information

Introduction

This appendix contains Local Management information that is speciÞc to the
9M426-02 Dual HSIM Switch Module.

This module has two slots for two High Speed Interface Module (HSIM)
interfaces (not included and may be purchased separately). These HSIMs operate
in various modes (ATM, FDDI, WAN, etc.), depending on the HSIM installed in
the module.

HSIM UserÕs Guides, in Portable Document Format, are available from the

Description

112 ATM Virtual Port (if 1 or more HSIM-A6DPs are installed)

If the HSIMs installed are ATM, ports 9Ð112 are ATM virtual ports.

The default interface is limited to SMB10 (Interface 2) or the HOST (Interface 3) on
the General ConÞguration Screen.

The port numbering for Table 1 is MIB II interface numbering.

The port numbering for this screen is 802.1D Bridge Port numbering.

- Port 1 corresponds to the INB.

- Ports 2 & 3 correspond to HSIM1.

- Ports 4 & 5 correspond to HSIM2.

Information for up to 8 ports can appear on the screen. If additional ports exist, a

NOTE

command containing the range of ports, such as [ 9-16 ], appears on the command
line at the bottom of the screen. To view any additional ports, highlight the range
of ports command, and then press the Return key.

Switch Configuration Screen Fields

The following information brießy explains each Switch ConÞguration Screen
Þeld.

Switch Address (Read-Only)

Displays the MAC address of the switch.

Number of Ports (Read-Only)

Displays the total number of switched ports on the module.

Type of STA (Selectable)

Allows you to set the method that switches use to decide which switch is the
controlling (Root) switch when two or more switches exist in parallel (Spanning
Tree Algorithm). Valid entries include IEEE, DEC, and NONE.

9M426-02 Module Specific Information

NOTE

Port # (Read-Only)

Lists each switch port on the module.

The port numbering for Table 1 is MIB II interface numbering.

The port numbering for the Switch ConÞguration Screen is 802.1D Bridge Port
numbering.

- Port 1 corresponds to the INB.

- Ports 2 & 3 correspond to HSIM1.

- Ports 4 & 5 correspond to HSIM2.

MAC Address (Read-Only)

Displays the hardware address assigned to each listed port.

State (Read-Only)

Displays the current state of each listed interface. The possible interface states
include:

Blocking In the Blocking state, an interface is not forwarding trafÞc.

TrafÞc that is received is discarded.

Station location information is not added to the Filtering Database.

The Blocking state can be entered from the Listening, Learning, or
Forwarding states.

5

9M426-02 Module Specific Information

The Blocking state is entered in either of two ways:

¥ Following initialization of the switch.

¥ From the Disabled state when management enables the

interface.

The Blocking state is exited in any of three ways:

¥ When a protocol timer expires.

¥ When a ConÞguration BPDU is received on this port or another

port.

¥ Through management action.

Listening In the Listening state, an interface is preparing to forward trafÞc.

TrafÞc that is received is discarded.

Station location information is not added to the Filtering Database.

The Listening state is entered from the Blocking state, when the
Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol determines that the
interface should participate in forwarding trafÞc.

The Listening state is exited in any of three ways:

¥ When a protocol timer expires (the Learning state is then

entered).

¥ When a BPDU is received on this port or another port (the

Blocking state is then entered).

¥ Through management action (either the Blocking or the

Disabled state is then entered).

Learning In the Learning state, an interface is preparing to forward trafÞc,

and is learning network addresses to minimize the forwarding of
unnecessary trafÞc.

TrafÞc that is received is discarded.

Station location information is added to the Filtering Database.

The Learning state is entered from the Listening state when a
protocol timer expires.
