Introduction
and navigation techniques, refer to the
documentation listed under Required Reading.
Required Reading
To use this documentation effectively, you must
be familiar with the information covered by the
other SPECTRUM online documentation topics
list below:
• Getting Started with SPECTRUM for
Operators
• Getting Started with SPECTRUM for
Administrators
• How to Manage Your Network with
SPECTRUM
• SPECTRUM Views
• SPECTRUM Menus
• SPECTRUM Icons

Networking Characteristics
The SmartSwitch 6000 is designed with a fully
distributed switching architecture within each
module, which allows the modules to be managed
as a single entity, with a single module acting as a
proxy agent for the chassis, see odesManagement
Modes (page 9).
The SmartSwitch 6000 provides port mirroring,
port trunking, broadcast control, Quality of
Service (QoS), VLAN, and topology protocol, all in
either traditional 802.1d mode or Cabletron’s
SecureFast mode. Optional RMON support is also
available.
The SmartSwitch 6000 can provide the following
port connectivities:
• Switched Ethernet
• Switched Fast Ethernet
• MicroLAN Ethernet or Fast Ethernet
• Gigabit Ethernet uplinks
• OC-3, DS-3/E-3, and OC-12 switched ATM
Page 8
Standalone Mode
In this mode, each installed module provides its
own management functions. You configure all of
the modules in the chassis to Standalone mode
and assign separate IP addresses for each
module. SPECTRUM management is through the
representative Device icons created for each
module during discovery and modeling.
Mixed Mode
This mode provides a method of operationally
isolating a module (or modules) for security
purposes. You set an IP address for the chassis
and configure all non-secure modules in
Distributed mode. The secure module gets its own
IP address and is configured in Standalone mode.
SPECTRUM management is through the
representative Device icons created.

Last Change
The value of sysUpTime at the time this VCL
entered its current operational state. If the
current state was entered prior to the last reinitialization of the agent, then this field contains
a zero value.
RTD (Receive Traffic Description) Index
The value of this field identifies the row in the
ATM Traffic Descriptor Table that applies to the
receive direction of this VCL.
TTD (Transmit Traffic Description) Index
The value of this field identifies the row of the
ATM Traffic Descriptor Table that applies to the
transmit direction of this VCL.
AAL (ATM Adaptation Layer) Type
An instance of this field only exists when the local
VCL endpoint is also the VCC endpoint and AAL
is in use. The field indicates the type of AAL used
on this VCC, which includes AAL1, AAL3/4, and
AAL5. The “other” type is a user-defined AAL type.
The “unknown” type indicates that the AAL type
cannot be determined.
Transmit Size
An instance of this field only exists when the local
VCL endpoint is also the VCC endpoint and AAL5
is in use. The field indicates the maximum AAL5
Page 42
Row Status
This field is used to create, delete, or modify a row
in this table. To create a new VCL, this field is
initially set to “createAndWait” or “createAndGo.”
This field must not be set to “active” unless the
following columnar fields exist in this row:
• RTD Index
• XTD Index
• AAL Type (if the local VCL endpoint is also the
VCC endpoint)
• Transmit Size (for AAL5 connections only)
• Receive Size (for AAL5 connections only)
• Encaps Type (for AAL5 connections only)
To make a change to the rows in the table view,
do the following:
1 In the Communication Information panel,
change the Community Name field to
“private.”
2 From the Icon Subviews menu, select Table
View.
Note:
Note:
The Community Name field in the
Communication Information panel of the
Model Information view must be set to

VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)
Displays the VCI value of the VCL. The maximum
VCI value cannot exceed the value allowable by
the Interface MaxVCI Bits.
Admin Status
Implemented only for a VCL that terminates a
VCC (i.e., one that is not cross-connected to other
VCLs). Its value (Up or Down) specifies the desired
administrative state of the VCL, i.e., whether
traffic flow is enabled and disabled for this VCL.
Oper Status
Indicates the current operational status of the
VCL. “Up” and “Down” indicate that the VCL is
operational or not operational, respectively.
Unknown indicates that the status of this VCL
cannot be determined.
Row Status
Used to create, delete or modify a row in this
table. To create a new VCL, this field is initially
set to “createAndWait” or “createAndGo”. This
field must not be set to “active” unless the
following columnar fields exist in this row:
• RTD Index
• XTD Index
• AAL Type (if the local VCL endpoint is also the
VCC endpoint)
• Transmit Size (for AAL5 connections only)

are identified by entries in the Cross Connect
Table for which VCL CC Id has the same value.
The value of this field is initialized by the agent
after the associated entries in the Cross Connect
Table have been created.
Xmit Descr Index
Identifies the row of the ATM Traffic Descriptor
Table that applies to the transmit direction of this
VCL.
T ransm it Size

Modeling
Autodiscovery involves manually modeling a seed
router, bridge, or switch (if such a model does
exist) and then running AutoDiscovery one or
more times to complete the network model. You
then refine your autodiscovered network model to
improve management capabilities.
The manual modeling procedures described in
this section should be used when making minor
changes to the network. This includes such
actions as placing an already discovered module
in Mixed Management mode or adding a new
chassis or module to the network.
Note:
Note:
Refer to Getting Started with
SPECTRUM for Administrators and
How to Manage Your Network with
SPECTRUM for instructions on using
AutoDiscovery and refining your
network model.

Access the Find you by selecting View>New
View> Find. Select an attribute by which you
can search for your Chassis. Create a Room
Location view and copy the chassis Device
icon into the Room Location view.
Container View
Access: From the Icon Subviews men for the Chassis
Device icon, select Container.
This view (Figure 18) displays Location view
Device icons for each module modeled in
SPECTRUM and contained in the chassis.
Note:
Note:
This only works when models are in
the distributed mode.
Page 62
Preparation for Modeling
Before modeling the chassis, you should be
familiar with the process of creating models and
accessing views. Refer to Getting Started with
SPECTRUM for Administrators and How to
Manage Your Network with SPECTRUM for
instructions. You should also be familiar with any
network management and firmware requirements
described in the 6C105 chassis firmware
documentation.
Modeling Using the Chassis IP
The chassis model can only be place in a Room
Location view. The Room Location view is created
by starting at the Universe level view and navigate
into the Room Location level, as described below.
1 At the Universe level, select View > New View
> Location.
This places you at the top level of the Location
views.
Model Three
6E233_49
6H122_16
Caution:
Caution:
For proper modeling, the chassis and its
installed modules must not be in Mixed
Management mode. Each module should
have its own IP address or the chassis
should be configured with a single IP
address.
