6E123-50 AND 6E133-49 OVERVIEW
The 6E123-50 and 6E133-49, shown in
Figure 1-1
, are interface modules
for the Cabletron Systems 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis.
The 6E123-50 and 6E133-49 are high-speed network repeater/switch
devices that provide four Ethernet networks (MicroLANs ENET 1
through ENET 4), each consisting of 12 repeater ports that share a
bandwidth of 10 Mbps. Each Ethernet network supports IEEE 802.1D
switching (bridging), IEEE 802.1Q switching and Cabletron Systems
SecureFast Switching Virtual Network technology.
Ports 5 and 6 of the 6E123-50 support optional Fast Ethernet Interface
Modules and can provide uplinks to 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX Fast
Ethernet networks. The 6E133-49 is capable of being equipped with a
High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) that provides for additional
connectivity to other high speed networking technologies such as
Asychronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Wide Area Networks (WANs) and
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
The 6E123-50 and 6E133-49 switch each Ethernet network (ENET 1
through ENET 4) to one another and to the optional Fast Ethernet
Interface Modules of the 6E123-50 or an HSIM installed in the 6E133-49.
