Introduction
The 9C306 System Monitor, shown in Figure 1-1, provides out-of-band
management capabilities, and environmental/power monitoring for the
SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot System. The System Monitor Module is inserted into a
SmartSwitch 9000-6 chassis in the slot marked SM in the right side of the module
card cage.
Features
Out-of-Band Management
Out-of-band management refers to managing the SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot via a
Local Management (LM) connection or an SNMP-based management application
which does not use the same network connection to the chassis as Òuser data.Ó
Three out-of-band management interfaces are built into the 9C306 System
Monitor. Two interfaces are serial RS232 ports. These ports support local
management via a VT100 session, Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), or Point-to-
Point (PPP), or monitor an American Power Conversion Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS).
The remaining out-of-band management interface supports any standard
Cabletron Systems Ethernet Port Interface Module (EPIM). This interface
provides a direct connection to the internal System Management Bus-10
(SMB-10).
Environmental/Power Monitoring
The 9C306 System Monitor monitors and reports chassis power parameters, as
well as the presence of the chassis cooling fan.
Flash EEPROM
The capability of downloading future Þrmware upgrades has been built into the
9C306 System Monitor.
