OVERVIEW
The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch, shown in
, is an Ethernet interface module for the
Cabletron Systems 6C105 chassis. The 6E233-49 has 48 switched ports via four RJ21 connectors,
and 1 slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM).
and 1 slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM).
The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch can be used to connect individual high-bandwidth user devices, such
as workstations, or to provide a central switching point for multiple 10 Mbps Ethernet segments.
The optional HSIMs provide one or more high speed uplinks to networking technologies such as
Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Wide Area Network
(WAN) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The ESX-1620 is not capable of supporting
VHSIMs.

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch ports can be configured to control frame traffic several ways,
including prioritizing traffic flow according to protocol type. The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch can also
be configured to establish Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and control the flow of frames
associated with each VLAN according to priority and Ether type. Detailed information about
VLANs is provided in the Cabletron Systems 802.1Q VLAN User’s Guide.
