Introduction
The 9T125-08 MicroLAN™ Switch Extension Module, shown in Figure 1-1, is a three port
Token Ring switch module. This module supports two separate Token Rings with four lobe
connections each, and an interface to the FNB backplane. Each front panel Token Ring also
supports Ring-in/Ring-out connections by using plug-in Token Ring Port Interface modules,
TPIMs.
Features
Processor
The 9T125-08 is equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This microprocessor
provides a platform for all management functions within a scalable RISC-based architecture.
System Management
Interfaces to the two System Management Buses (SMB-1 and SMB-10) for intermodule
management.
Connectivity
The 9T125-08 provides four RJ45 Trunk Coupling Unit (TCU) lobe connector for each of the
two front panel Token Rings. Each front panel T oken Ring has sockets for TPIMs allowing for
Ring-in/Ring-out connections.
SRT Packet Switching
SRT Bridging may occur between the front panel Token Ring connections and
SR-TB bridging to any other module in the chassis via FNB -1 or FNB -2 of the FNB bus. The
module is capable of Transparent Bridging and/or Source Route Bridging. IEEE 802.1d
Spanning Tree Protocol is supported in all bridging functions. Translational bridging
between Source Routing and Transparent Frames types is also performed for packets
destined for the FNB.

Introduction
Management Information Base (MIB) Support
The 9T125-08 provides MIB support including:
• IETF MIB II (RFC 1213)
• IETF Bridge MIBs (RFC 1493 and 1525)
• IEEE 802.5 Token Ring MIB (RFC 1231)
• Cabletron Enterprise MIBs
• RMON
For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the
NOTE
module package.
Ring Security
This feature prevents unauthorized stations from attaching to the ring. Using Local or
Remote Management, the module may be configured as to which MAC addresses are
allowed to operate on the ring.
LANVIEW LEDs
The 9T125-08 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 9T125-08 can be installed or removed from the chassis while the SmartSwitch 9000 is
powered up without affecting the operation of the remaining modules in the chassis.
Webview
Management of the 9T125-08 may be accomplished using Cabletron’s WEBVIEW. This
allows managing the module though an on-line browser.
