EMME/EMM-E6

EMME/EMM-E6

The EMME (Ethernet Management Module for Ethernet) and EMM-E6

(Ethernet Management Module for Ethernet with six ports) are multi-port intelligent bridging modules installed in the right most slot of an MMAC FNB chassis. They have channels which act as bridge ports (Channels A, B, C, D, E, and F). Channels A, B, and C also act as repeater ports and direct traffic over the MMAC Flexible Network Bus (or backplane). Additionally, Cabletron

Systems FDDI modules for the MMAC FNB provide Ethernet to Fiber

Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) bridging capabilities.

With the addition of Repeater Management Control module (RMIM)in the chassis, the EMME and EMM-E6 function as bridges between up to three

Ethernet 802.3 subnetworks and an Ethernet backbone (fourth) network. The

Repeater MIMs use and control Channels B and C. Other modules use

Channel A and are controlled by the EMME or EMM-E6. Channels D1 and D2 are the AUI ports on the EMME and EMM-E6, and direct traffic to one of two external Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs). One D port is operational at a time, while the other D port is the redundant port and is in STDBY

(standby) or OFF .

The EMM-E6 allows you to monitor, configure, and bridge/route between channels A, B, and C on the backplane, a fourth external Ethernet via an

EPIM, and two BRIM ports. Optional BRIMs perform the same bridging functions as EPIMs; they transfer packets between different channels.

However, unlike EPIMs, BRIMs bridge these packets from one technology to another (e.g., Ethernet to FDDI network backbones, Asynchronous Transfer

Mode [ATM] to Wide Area, etc.). These BRIMs occupy the E and F channels.

The following BRIMs may be installed:

• BRIM-E6 : Ethernet interface

• BRIM-W6 : WAN interface (not supported at this time)

• BRIM-A6 : ATM interface

• BRIM-F6: FDDI interface

SPECTRUM Support

SPECTRUM Support

The following model type names refer to the models used to specify attributes, actions, and associations for the EMME and EMM-E6 devices in SPECTRUM:

• HubCSIEMME (EMME)

• BRtrCSIEMM_E6 (EMM-E6)

Standard RMON (RMONApp) DLM (DLM_Agent) and Routing Services

(CtRouter) are also supported and may be purchased separately.

Modeling Instructions

It is recommended that you model all devices in SPECTRUM using the

AutoDiscovery. However, if you wish to model your device manually, follow the steps below.

1.

Model an EMME/EMM-E6. (Refer to How to Manage Your Network

with SPECTRUM for basic modeling instructions.)

2.

Access the EMME/EMM-E6 Device Topology view to determine how many repeater ports are being used on the backplane of this device.

3.

For each repeater connection (Network A, B, or C) shown in the Device

Topology view, model a separate LAN icon (LAN_802_3) on the same hierarchical level as the EMME/EMM-E6 device icon. (The names of the

LANs should correspond with the names of repeater ports they will be connected to.)

4.

Within the EMME/EMM-E6 Device Topology (DevTop) view, select File ->

Edit to enter the edit mode.

5.

Highlight a single repeater icon.

6.

Select Edit -> Copy.

7.

Click OK in the confirmation window to override the buffer.

8.

Open the LAN model created in step 3 with name that corresponds with the name of the repeater you copied in the previous step.

9.

Enter the edit mode by selecting File -> Edit.

10. Select Edit -> Paste to paste the repeater icon into the LAN.

11. Select File -> Save and Close to complete the pasting process. The off-page EMME/EMM-E6 icon (in shape of the triangle) should appear, signifying the connection between the repeater and the EMME/EMM-E6 backplane.

Device Views


This chapter describes the following Device views available for the

EMME/EMM-E6:

• Chassis Device view

• Interface Device view

• Physical Device view

See Chapter 1, Introduction, for information on Accessing SPECTRUM Views

from the Device Icon and Accessing Device-Specific Subviews

Each Device view provides a representation of the EMME/EMM-E6’s configuration and menu access to the views that monitor and control the

EMME/EMM-E6, its modules, and the module’s ports. If the configuration changes (e.g., a board is pulled from or added to the MMAC), the corresponding change(s) is displayed.

Only the port or application status is updated every polling cycle. Board or application icons change when a model reconfiguration occurs.

EMME/EMM-E6



MIM Icon

MIM Icon

NOTES

This icon represents a Media Interface Module (MIM). There are two basic types of MIMs that can be managed by the EMME/EMM-E6: Repeater MIMs

(RMIMs) and non-repeater MIMs.

The EMME/EMM-E6 manages the RMIMs located in the MMAC chassis through Ethernet channels B, and C. RMIMs can repeat packets autonomously without channeling them through the EMME/EMM-E6. The members of the RMIM family designed to work with the EMME/EMM-E6 are:

FORMIM, CXRMIM, TPRMIM, and TPXMIM. Figure 2-4 shows an example

of a Repeater MIM icon.

The EMME/EMME-6 uses channel A on the MMAC backplane to transmit and receive data from non-repeater MIMs (i.e., TRMIMs, FOMIMs,

THN-MIMs). The EMME/EMM-E6 provides repeater functionality for these

MIMs.

The callouts in the illustration below identify the labels and, when applicable, the view to which they provides double-click access. Example: Slot

Number/Notes View - displays the slot number and provides double-click access to the Notes view.

Allows you to chose the appropriate backplane channel or mode. The possible selections are: Channel B, Channel C, Stand_Alone, and Channel_X.

The Stand_Alone option can be applied to all ports configured to use Channels

B or C. Any ports that are configured to operate on Channel A cannot be

switched to the Stand_Alone mode. For more information, see Creating an

Isolated Repeater in Chapter 5, Application View.

Board-level settings will override the any individual port-level settings.

Refer to Release Notes that were shipped with your EMME/EMM-E6 firmware for more information about the implication of operating your

NOTES

The EMME/ EMM-E6 also supports Cabletron’s family of Twisted Pair

Switching Media Interface Modules (TPXMIMs). The TPXMIM-20, -22, -33 and -34 are a series of port assignment modules designed specifically for

Cabletron’s MMAC FNB hubs equipped with the EMME/EMM-E6. TPXMIM permits the entire board (bank switching) or each individual port (the port assignment) to be assigned to any of the three Ethernet channels A, B, and C on the MMAC FNB backplane. This way the unnecessary traffic across the bridge can be eliminated. The TPXMIM gives you an option of reassigning ports to different channels right at the management station without having to move the cable.

Figure 2-5 displays the TPXMIM icon as seen in the Chassis Device View.

The callouts in the illustration below identify the label and, when applicable, the view to which they provide double-click access. Example: Port

Number/Notes View - displays the sport number and provides double-click access to the Notes view.

Table 2-17.

These labels represent TPXMIM ports situated on the front panel of the module. Port number 1 represents the EPIM port. If an EPIM is not installed in the device, the Port label will not display the port status. The function of repeater ports is to supply the module with connectivity to external networks.

The TPXMIM port management differs from the management of the ordinary

MIM ports because every TPXMIM port can be assigned to any of the three

Ethernet channels on the MMAC FNB backplane.

The polled device(s) in the redundant circuit polling list has failed to respond.

The device(s) has failed, been powered down, or a cable fault from the active port to the polled device has occurred.

Check the retry count as it may need to be adjusted on a busy network segment.

Normal collision occurrences may occur causing the poll packet to not reach its destination.

CsPCause/Prob000d010a

The polled device has been communicated with via a backup port and the port is now active. The other ports in this redundant circuit are now designated as backup and are turned off to prevent data loops on the network.

CsPCause/Prob000d010b

The cable segment connected to the port has a cable fault and should be checked for continuity as soon as possible in the event the other ports in this redundant circuit fail and this port is needed.

CsPCause/Prob000d010f

The packet rate on this module has exceeded user defined limits. The device(s) attached to this module may have an application which requires a large amount of network bandwidth. If the application required a large amount of network bandwidth, then a bridge or router could be used to logically separate various network segments.

Environment Temperature Warm condition for module in slot {I 1} reported by {m} ({t}).


Message


The number of addresses in the source address table has changed. If more than one address is learned on a port for one aging time period, the port is designated as a trunk port. A port connecting two hubs or a coax segment with multiple taps are examples of trunk ports. If a port has one address in the source address table for two aging times, the port is designated as a station port. An example of a station port would be a twisted pair “home run” to a PC.


This event is only generated when the hub has port locking enabled. When a hub is locked, the source MAC addresses are learned on each port.

When a port detects an attached device has changed its address, the device will note that the new address is not in the source address table. This will disable and lock the port which then transmits this trap. This trap would be generated if an adapter were replaced or if an intruder attempts to access the network.


The network administrator has located the offending device that caused the port violation and has re-enabled the port for use by the original network address for that port.


The module may be defective or a fan has failed in the chassis. Check the alarm log for this device for any fan alarms.
