Features
 
Processors
 
The 9E106-06 is equipped with dual advanced Intel i960
 
®
 
 RISC microprocessors. 
One processor provides a platform for all management applications, such as 
Spanning Tree, RMON, IETF and Enterprise MIB support. This network 
management information is available through a variety of methods. All SNMP 
based information is accessible either via an in-band (front panel port), side-band 
(SMB-10), or out-of-band via the Environmental Module’s (EM) COM ports. For 
more information on the EM’s COM ports or SMB-10 refer to the SmartSwitch 
9000 Local Management User’s Guide. The other processor acts as the primary 
switching device. This switching device can operate in two modes, as a traditional 
bridge, or as a SecureFast Switch (SFS). 
 
System Management
 
The 9E106-06 provides interfaces to the two System Management Buses (SMB-1 
and SMB-10) for intermodule management. The SMB-1 Bus is only accessible to 
modules. The SMB-10 Bus is accessible through the EPIM on the front of the 
Environmental Module. 
 
Management
 
The 9E106-06 provides local and remote management functions. Local 
management is provided through the RS-232 COM ports on the SmartSwitch 9000 
Environmental Module using a standard VT-220 terminal or equivalent, Serial 
Line Interface Protocol (SLIP), or Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). 
Remote management is possible through Cabletron’s SPECTRUM or any SNMP 
compliant management tool. Included as management features are the IETF 
Standard Management Information Base (MIBs) RMON (RFC 1271), IETF MIB ll 
(RFC 1213), IETF Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), FDDI 1512 with SMT 7.3 and a host of 
other Cabletron enterprise MIBs. In addition, the front panel provides LEDs to 
indicate LINK status per port, as well as transmit and receive activity.
 
Connectivity
 
The 9E106-06 module has six user configurable front panel Ethernet Port Interface 
Module (EPIM) connections and one Flexible Network Bus (FNB) backplane 
connection. Ethernet networks connect to the 9E106-06 module using standard 
Cabletron EPIMs. EPIMs presently available include: 
EPIM-C For Thin-net Coaxial
EPIM-T For 10Base-T Twisted Pair 
EPIM-F1/EPIM-F2 For Multimode Fiber Optic
EPIM-F3 For Single Mode Fiber Optic
EPIM-A For AUI Cable segment
EPIM-X For AUI Cable segment
