Introduction

The 9E423-24 (Figure 1-1) is a 25 port switching module. Two RJ-71 Telco

connectors support 24 10BASE-T ports with the 25th port connecting to the

Internal Network Bus (INB) backplane interface. This module uses a SmartSwitch

ASIC design and an advanced Intel i960

microprocessor. This microprocessor

provides a platform for all management functions within a scalable RISC-Based

Architecture.

The module can operate in two modes; as a 24 port Ethernet traditional switch

(using 802.1d standards) with a high speed backbone connection or as a Secure

Fast Switch (SFS) with 24 Ethernet connections. Each port of the 9E423-24 can be

conﬁgured to operate in the Full Duplex mode. This conﬁguration allows each

port to provide a full 20 Mbps of bandwidth for ﬁle servers or high end user

intensive work stations.

Network management information is available through a variety of methods. All

information based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is

accessible either via an in-band (Front Panel port), Side Band (SMB-10), or via the

Environmental Module’s COM ports. Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) are supported by the Environmental Module’s

COM ports. For more information on the SMB-10, SLIP or PPP refer to the

MMAC-Plus Local Management User’s Guide.

The 9E423-24 also features front panel LANVIEW™ Diagnostic LED’s to offer at-

a-glance status information about each front panel port as well as the operation of

the overall module.

Ethernet networks are connected to the 9E423-24 module through two standard

RJ-71 Telco connectors built in the front of the module. Each connector provides

12 Ethernet 10BASE-T connections for UTP and STP links up to 100 meters long.

Introduction

Features

Processor

The 9E423-24 is equipped with an advanced Intel i960 microprocessor. This

microprocessor provides a platform for all management functions such as

Spanning Tree, RMON, and MIB support within a scalable RISC-Based

architecture.

Fast Packet Switching

The 9E423-24 incorporates a hardware based switch design referred to as the

SmartSwitch ASIC, a collection of custom ASICs designed speciﬁcally for high

speed switching. Because all frame translation, address lookups, and forwarding

decisions are performed in hardware, the 9E423-24 can obtain a throughput

performance of greater than 750K pps.

Management

The 9E423-24 features SNMP for local and remote management. Local

management is provided through the RS-232 Com ports on the MMAC-Plus

Environmental Module using a standard VT-220 terminal or emulator. Remote

management is possible through Cabletron’s SPECTRUM or any SNMP

compliant management tool. Included as management features are the IETF

Standard Management Information Base (MIBs) RMON (RFC1271), IETF MIB II

(RFC-1213), IETF Bridge MIB (RFC-1493), and a host of other Cabletron enterprise

MIBs. The 9E423-24 also offers the user a wide variety of statistical network

management information to enhance network planning and troubleshooting. This

module provides information for each front panel Ethernet 10BASE-T port,

including packet counts along with errored frame information such as collisions,

CRCs, and Giants, via a variety of industry standard and private MIBS. Industry

standard IEEE 802.1d bridging, including Spanning Tree Algorithm, is supported.

Connectivity

The 9E423-24 module has one interface to the INB and two front panel RJ-71 Telco

connectors. The INB interface is a ﬁxed connection to INB-2 which allows the

9E423-24 to communicate with other MMAC-Plus modules supporting various

LAN technologies including: Token Ring, FDDI, Ethernet, WAN and ATM. Each

front panel RJ-71 connectors provide 12 Ethernet 10BASE-T connections for UTP

and STP links up to 100 meters in length.

Standard Ethernet/Full Duplex Operation

The 9E423-24 Module supports 10BASE-T. The use of 10BASE-T allows each port

on the 9E423-24 Module to be conﬁgured, through local and or remote

management (SNMP), to operate in standard Ethernet mode (simplex) or full

duplex mode. Operating in standard Ethernet mode limits bandwidth to 10 Mbps

per port, while operating in duplex mode doubles bandwidth from 10 Mbps to 20

Mbps per port.

Features

Management Information Base (MIB) Support

The 9E423-24 provides MIB support including:

• RMON (RFC-1271)

• IETF MIB II (RFC-1213)

• IETF Bridge MIB (RFC-1493)

and a host of other Cabletron Enterprise MIBs.

INB

The 9E423-24 attaches to INB2 of the MMAC-Plus Backplane. The INB has a

capacity of 2 Gbps to interconnect MMAC-Plus modules supporting Ethernet,

FDDI, Token Ring, WAN and ATM networks. The INB transports ﬁxed length

data blocks between modules in the MMAC-Plus hub using a Time Division

Multiplexing (TDM) design. Within the INB there is a 64 bit wide data bus and an

eight bit control management bus. Each module that attaches to the INB has an

INB Network Interface Block (NIB). The INB NIB converts canonical frames to

ﬁxed length data blocks for transmission onto the INB. For data blocks received

from the INB, the INB NIB reassembles the data blocks received from the INB

back into canonical frames for transmission to the SmartSwitch ASIC and

ultimately to the front panel port. The INB can time slice its bandwidth using one

of three methods. The default method is standard TDM round-robin bandwidth

arbitration, the second method is for modules to reserve a speciﬁc amount of

bandwidth using MONARCH, Cabletron’s INB Bandwidth Arbitrator, the third

method permits the lowest slot number to use any bandwidth not used by the

previous two methods.

LANVIEW LEDs

The 9E423-24 uses LANVIEW – the Cabletron Systems built-in visual diagnostic

and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly identify, at

a glance, system status as well as the device, port, and physical layer status. Two

LEDs indicate the transmission and reception of data from the INB MMAC-Plus

backplane connection. Each of the 12 Ethernet front panel ports features two

LEDs per port to indicate the port’s Administrative status (enabled/disabled),

LINK status (Link/Nolink), and Data Activity (receiving and transmitting data).

For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the

9E423-24 package.
