Introduction

Chapter 1

What Is in This Chapter

This chapter introduces the SPECTRUM management module covering the Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Modules described below. It describes the following:
• Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Modules
• SPECTRUM Support
- Accessing SPECTRUM Views from the Device Icon
- Accessing Device-Specific Subviews
• SPECTRUM Views Roadmap
• SPMA Support

Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Modules

The 8H02-16, 2E42-27, 2E42-27R, 2E43-27, and 2E43-27R Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Modules are all high performance Ethernet switching devices that provide Fast Ethernet uplinks.
The 8H02-16 is a 16-port device having 14 standard 10Base-T front panel ports that are supported by RJ-45 connectors and two 100Base-TX or multi­mode fiber 100Base-FX uplinks using Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules.
The 2E42-27 and 2E42-27R devices expand the capabilities of the 8H02-16 by providing 27 ports including 24 standard Ethernet ports with RJ-45 connectors, two slots for Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules, and one slot for a High Speed Interface Module to provide a high-speed ATM uplink or FDDI connectivity. The 2E42-27 has a single power supply and the 2E42-27R has dual redundant power supplies.
1-1

SPECTRUM Support

The 2E43-27 and 2E43-27R provide the same feature set as the 2E42-27 and 2E42-27R but come equipped with two RJ21 connectors to support 24 ports of switched Ethernet rather than the 24 RJ45’s. This allows the use of Telco cables in the wiring closets with patch panels to reduce the complexity of cable management.
All five devices offer RMON, port redirection, broadcast suppression, and full duplex support on all interfaces, with support for IEEE Auto-Negotiation on the 100Base-TX ports.
SPECTRUM Support
When modeling a device, the model type SS8H appears in the Select Model Type dialog box. The names listed below refer to the model names used in SPECTRUM to specify attributes, actions, and associations for Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Modules:
• 8H02_16 (Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Module, Model 8H02-16)
• 2E42_27 (Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Module, Model 2E42-27)
• 2E42_27R (Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Module, Model 2E42-27R)
• 2E43_27 (Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Module, Model 2E43-27)
• 2E43_27R (Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Module, Model 2E43-27R)

Accessing SPECTRUM Views from the Device Icon

The Device icon provides access to SPECTRUM views that display device­specific information. Access these views using double-click zones (Figure 1-1) or Icon Subviews menus (Figure 1-2).
To access the Icon Subviews menu, do the following:
1. Highlight the icon.
2. From the View menu, select Icon Subviews or click the applicable mouse button (middle or right). Refer to the Operator’s Reference for information on configuring your mouse.

Accessing Device-Specific Subviews
Icon Subviews menus provide access to views that display device-specific information. Figure 1-3 shows an example of an Icon Subviews menu for the Bridging icon located within the Chassis Device view. The device-specific Icon Subviews menu selections are described under the applicable section within this guide. The menu selections that are common to all devices are described in the Administrator’s Reference and the Operator’s Reference.
To access the Icon Subviews menu using the View menu, do the following:
1. Highlight the icon.
2. From the View menu, select Icon Subviews. To access the Icon Subviews menu using the mouse button, do the following:
1. Position the mouse pointer on the icon.

Device Views

What Is in This Chapter

This chapter describes the following Device views and subviews available for the Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Modules.
• Interface Device view
• Chassis Device view
• Physical Device view
Chapter 2
Refer to Chapter 1, Introduction, for information on accessing SPECTRUM views from the Device icon and accessing device-specific subviews.

Interface Device View

This section describes the Interface icons and the Interface Options panel displayed in the Interface Device view. This view provides dynamic configuration and performance information for each interface on the device. If the configuration changes, SPECTRUM modifies the Device view after the next polling cycle to reflect the new configuration. This view also provides a Device icon that allows you to monitor the device operation and to access other device-specific views. Figure 2-1 shows an example of the Interface Device view for the Model 8H02-16. The views for the Model 2E42-27 and Model 2E43-27 are similar except for the number of Interface icons.
