You can configure the SmartSwitch 6000 to 
operate in three management modes: Distributed, 
Standalone, and Mixed.

In this mode, the 6C105 chassis can be viewed as 
a single entity with a single IP address. The 
chassis management functions are distributed to 
all installed modules. This means that a single 
module in the chassis (such as a 6E233-49) can 
be used to manage all installed modules. You 
configure all of the modules in the chassis to the 
Distributed mode and assign a single IP address 
to the chassis. SPECTRUM discovery and 
modeling results in a single Device icon being 
created in the Topology view for each 
management module. This icon represents the 
managing module. SPECTRUM management of 
the modules is through these Device icons.

In this mode, each installed module provides its 
own management functions. You configure all of 
the modules in the chassis to Standalone mode 
and assign separate IP addresses for each 
module. SPECTRUM management is through the 
representative Device icons created for each 
module during discovery and modeling.

This mode provides a method of operationally 
isolating a module (or modules) for security 
purposes. You set an IP address for the chassis 
and configure all non-secure modules in 
Distributed mode. The secure module gets its own 
IP address and is configured in Standalone mode. 
SPECTRUM management is through the 
representative Device icons created. 

Refer to the appropriate SmartSwitch 
6000 module user’s guides for 
instructions on configuring the modules 
for these management modes.
