Cabletron Systems VHSIM-G02 Manual De Usuario

 

Welcome to the Cabletron Systems 

 

. This 

manual describes the VHSIM-G02 and provides information concerning 
features, installation, troubleshooting, information on Local Management, 
and specifications for the VHSIM-G02 (Very High Speed Interface 
Module).

A general working knowledge of IEEE 802.3z (Gigabit Ethernet), 
IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Copper) and IEEE 802.3x (Flow Control and 
Auto-Negotiation) data communications networks and their physical 
layer components is helpful when installing the VHSIM-G02.

The VHSIM-G02 can be installed into compatible Cabletron Systems 
2000 and 6000 series products.

The VHSIM-G02 (Figure 1-1) has two ports that provide Gigabit 
Ethernet connections. There are two possible modes of operation for the 
VHSIM-G02. In mode one, both ports are active and transmit/receive data 
simultaneously. This mode can only be selected if the host platform has 
16 or less fixed front panel ports. In mode two, one port is active and the 
other is redundant. Redundancy is triggered based on link activity; if port 
one loses link then port two becomes active. Port one is active by default. 
The default mode for the VHSIM-G02 is redundancy.

 

The term “host platform” may be used to refer to the module or 
standalone device in which the VHSIM-G02 is installed.
