INSTALLING THE SWITCH
The SmartCell 6A000 is hot swappable, meaning that you can install and remove it without turning off or unplugging
the SmartSwitch 6000 chassis. You can install as many as three switch modules in each chassis. In this configuration,
the SmartCell 6A000 modules provide up to 45 user ports. Modules should be connected with inter-module trunks if
traffic must cross between modules. Table 2-1 shows the maximum number of LAN and ATM switch modules that can
be installed in a SmartSwitch 6000 chassis.
