Cabletron Systems 9E106-06 Manual De Usuario

Introduction

 

The FNB backplane connection is a fixed connection to FNB-1 or FNB-2. This 
connection allows the 9E106-06 to communicate with other SmartSwitch 9000 
modules supporting various LAN technologies including: Token Ring, FDDI, 
Ethernet, WAN and ATM.

 

9E106-06 operates in two modes, as a traditional bridge, or as a SecureFast Switch. 
In the traditional bridge mode, the 9E106-06 makes filtering/forwarding 
decisions based on frame destination address. In the SecureFast Switch mode, 
filtering/forwarding decisions are made based on both frame destination and 
source addresses. 

 

The 9E106-06 provides MIB support including:

•

RMON (RFC 1271)

•

IETF MIB II (RFC 1213)

•

IETF Bridge MIB (RFC 1493)

•

FDDI 1512 with SMT 7.3 and a host of other Cabletron Enterprise MIBs.

 

The 9E106-06 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.

 

The 9E106-06 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.
