Overview
Introduction 1-7
1.1.14 Distributed Chassis Management
From a management perspective, the 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis can be viewed as a single
entity with a single IP address. Its systems management functions are distributed to all modules.
The chassis can be managed using a single IP address, or the modules can be managed separately
by individual IP addresses. When using a single IP address, system wide settings can be done from
the chassis menu in Local Management, while module settings are done by selecting the specific
module to be modified and changing the settings for that module.
1.1.15 Optional HSIMs
The 6E233-49 provides a slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) for additional
connectivity to various networking technologies. Any exceptions to the HSIMs that operate in the
6E233-49 SmartSwitch are listed in the Release Notes. The 6E233-49 is not capable of supporting
VHSIMs.
1.1.16 Standards Compatibility
The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3x, 802.3u, 802.1D, and
especially 802.1Q standards. The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree
Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against
“loop” conditions. The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs
including RFC 1213 (MIB II), RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB), RFC 1354 (FIB
MIB) and RFC 1190 (Path MTU Discovery). A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs
provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting. For information on how
to extract and compile individual MIBs, contact Cabletron Systems.
1.1.17 LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by providing an easy way
to observe the status of individual ports and overall network operations.
Chapter 4 provides details
about the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch LANVIEW LEDs.
1.1.18 Year 2000 Compliance
The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch module and 6C105 chassis have an internal clock that can maintain
the time and date beyond the year 1999.
