Product Brief
Switch Management
The 6-slot and 10-slot chassis require one
8190 SM Switch Management module
(see Figure 1) for the 8100 switching system. 
The 8190SM Switch Management 
module delivers an on-board CPU for
management and administration of the
8100 series Edge Switch modules. A full
file management system provides important
administrative capabilities such as software
image and configuration file storage, file
upload/download, ASCII file editing 
and management access lists for SNMP
and Telnet. 
Two 8190SM modules can be installed
for maximum switch resilience. In 
the event of a CPU failure, control is
automatically passed to the secondary
8190SM modules in less than one second.
