Chapter 1: Introduction
1.3
6H122-08 OVERVIEW
The 6H122-08 is a Fast Ethernet interface module for Cabletron Systems
6C105 chassis that has six RJ45 switched ports and two optional Fast
Ethernet Interface Module ports (100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX) that provide Twisted Pair, Multimode, and Single Mode Fiber Optic cabling connectivity.
The 6H122-08 is used to connect individual high-bandwidth user devices, such as workstations, and provide a central switching point for multiple
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet segments.
1.3.1
Auto-Negotiation
Twisted Pair ports on the 6H122-08 module have the ability to auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information “telling” each other what their operating capabilities are. The
Auto-Negotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached between the two devices. For example, the 6H122-08 adjusts to
100 Mbps when the device on the other end of the connection can also adjust between 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. If the device on the other end of the connection can only operate at 10 Mbps, then the 6H122-08 adjusts to
10 Mbps operation.
When Auto-Negotiation is supported at both ends of a link, the two devices dynamically adjust to full or half duplex operation based on the maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. If the device connected to the 6H122-08 cannot auto-negotiate, the 6H122-08 interface operates according to the capabilities of the other device.
1.3.2
Connectivity
The 6H122-08 connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through six
RJ45 ports on the front panel. These ports support Category 5 Unshielded
Twisted Pair cables with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. These ports are IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX compliant.
The 6H122-08 has two front panel slots (ports 7 and 8) for optional Fast
Ethernet Interface Modules (FE-100TX, FE-100FX, and FE-100F3) to support an uplink to 100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or a high speed connection to a local server using Twisted Pair, Multimode or Single
Mode Fiber Optic cabling.
1-4 6H122-08 User’s Guide
6H122-08 Overview
1.3.3
Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE)
Each switched Fast Ethernet port on the 6H122-08 supports 10/100 Mbps operation and can be configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched
Ethernet (FDSE) mode. FDSE allows each Fast Ethernet port to provide up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth.
1.3.4
Management
Management of the 6H122-08 module and 6C105 chassis and any optional equipment is accomplished using Local Management tools or remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a local VT100 terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.
1.3.5
Switching Options
The 6H122-08 provides 802.1D switching, 802.1Q switching, or
SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front panel interfaces including optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules.
SecureFast switching and 802.1Q switching allow for future migration to
Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing equipment.
1.3.6
Standards Compatibility
The 6H122-08 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard. The optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules are fully compliant with the
IEEE 802.3u standard. The 6H122-08 provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning
Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect against “loop” conditions. The 6H122-08 supports a wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II),
RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) and RFC 1354 (FIB MIB).
A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.

provides details about the 6H122-08
LANVIEW LEDs.
1.3.8
Year 2000 Compliant
The 6H122-08 module and 6C105 chassis have an internal clock that can maintain the current time and date beyond the year 1999.
1.3.9
Runtime IP Address Discovery
This feature enables the modules to automatically accept an IP address from a BootP server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local Management.
When the modules are connected to the network and powered up,
Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the modules for an IP address. If one has not yet been assigned (module and 6C105 chassis IP address set to 0.0.0.0), RAD checks to see if any of the module interfaces have a link. If so, RAD sends out Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
(RARP) and BootP requests to obtain an IP address from a RARP or
BootP server on the network.
The RAD requests start out at an interval of one second. The interval then doubles after every transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300 seconds. The RAD requests continue until an IP address is received from a RARP or BootP server, or an IP address is entered using Local Management.

Local Management Features
1.4
LOCAL MANAGEMENT FEATURES
Local Management provides the tools that allow management of the
6H122-08, the Fast Ethernet Interface Modules, and the 6C105 chassis.
Local Management for the 6H122-08 provides the features detailed in
Sections 1.4.1 through 1.4.6.
1.4.1
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 management functions are distributed to all modules. This means a single module in the chassis, such as the 6H122-08, can be used to manage the entire chassis, and any other attached module through Local Management,
SNMP, or Telnet applications.
1.4.2
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
The 6H122-08 supports all Ethernet RMON groups, which include
Statistics, Alarms, Events and History. These groups are enabled on all ports by default.
Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor specific extension of
RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON Event and/or Alarm.
An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a broadcast threshold is crossed.
1.4.3
Broadcast Suppression
Broadcast Suppression allows a user to set a desired limit of receive broadcast frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports on the module up to the set limit. Any broadcast frames above this specified limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched.
6H122-08 User’s Guide 1-7
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.4.4
Port Redirect Function
The port redirect function, also referred to as “Port Mirroring,” is a troubleshooting tool used to map traffic from a single source port or multiple source ports to a destination port(s) within the chassis. This feature functions at the bit level, which allows all packets, including those with errors, to be copied and sent to an analyzer or RMON probe. The analyzer or RMON probe will see the data as if it is directly connected to the LAN segment of the source port(s).
1.4.5
SmartTrunk
SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’ terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate, multiple physical links together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond the limitations of a single link. All links are user-configurable so administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk links. The SmartTrunk benefits are as follows:
•
•
All purchased bandwidth is used.
Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance.
• Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum flexibility.
For more information about SmartTrunk, refer to the Cabletron Systems
SmartTrunk User’s Guide .

3.5.3
Connecting a Fiber Optic Segment to the
FE-100FX and FE-100F3
The FE-100FX and FE-100F3 have an SC style network port (see
Figure 3-5 ). Cabletron Systems supplies fiber optic cable that uses SC
style connectors that are keyed to ensure proper crossing over of the transmit and receive fibers.
NOTES
An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be maintained between devices so that the transmit port of one device is connected to the receive port of the other device and vice versa.
If the fiber optic cable being used has SC style connectors that do not resemble MIC style connectors, or has SC connectors on one end and a different type on the other, such as ST connectors, ensure that the proper crossing over occurs.
Fiber Optic Network Connection
To connect an FE-100FX or FE100-F3 to the network, perform the following steps:
1.
Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the applicable port on the module and from the ends of the connectors.
NOTE
Leave the protective rubber covers in place when the connectors are not in use to prevent contamination.
!
CAUTION
The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.
Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.
Contamination of the ends causes problems in data transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, blow the surfaces with a canned duster. A fiber port cleaning swab saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol may also be used to clean the ends.

Subnet Mask (Modifiable)
NOTE
When a valid IP address is assigned, the Subnet Mask field automatically enters the default mask that corresponds with class of IP entered in the IP Address field. Some firmware revisions do support changing the chassis subnet mask from the default value. Refer to your Release Notes to ensure that the Subnet Mask is a modifiable field.
Displays the subnet mask for the chassis. A subnet mask “masks out” the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies the host. The 6C105 chassis automatically uses the default subnet mask that corresponds to the IP class that was entered in the IP address field.
describes how to change the subnet mask from the default

PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
NOTE
The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available depending on the operational mode that has been set for the chassis. Refer to your Release Notes to see what operational modes support the Port Redirect Function. Refer to
, Setting the Operational Mode , for instructions
on configuring the operational mode of all the modules installed in the chassis.
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-14 , allows the user to set
each one of the modules in the chassis (1 through 5), and the ports of the corresponding module installed, as a source or destination port. A port can be set to have one or more destination ports and chassis module slot numbers. For example, port 1 in module (slot) 1 can be set as a source port with three destinations, ports 2, 3, and 4 in module (slot) 3. Traffic from port 1 in module 1 is then automatically redirected to ports 2, 3, and
4 in module 3. Port 1 in module 1 can also serve as a destination port for other ports and modules. The port redirect function is extremely useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows traffic to be sent to a particular port(s) where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current traffic from the source port(s) can be examined.
NOTES
The module number corresponds to the slot number in which the module resides in the 6C105 chassis (1 through 5).
Although traffic from the source port (including, if desired, errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.
Access the Port Redirect Function screen from the Chassis Menu screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the PORT REDIRECT
FUNCTION menu item and pressing ENTER. The Port Redirect
, displays.

SNMP COMMUNITY NAMES SCREEN
The SNMP Community Names menu item allows the user to set
Local/Remote Management community names. Community names act as passwords to Local/Remote Management and are agents of security access to the 6H122-08. Access to the 6H122-08 is controlled by enacting any of three different levels of security authorization (read-only, read-write, and super-user).
NOTE
If the 6C105 has been assigned community names, it is not necessary to assign community names to the individual modules installed in the chassis unless the user wishes to limit access to 6C105 chassis screens by assigning different community names to the module. When this is done access is limited to the screens specific to the module the terminal is attached to and the CHASSIS menu item of the Main Menu screen will not appear.
Super-User access gives the user full management privileges, allows existing passwords to be changed, as well as all modifiable MIB objects.

PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
NOTE
The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available depending on the operational mode that has been set for the module. Refer to your Release Notes to see what operational modes support the Port Redirect Function. Refer to
, Setting the Operational Mode , for instructions
on configuring the operational mode of the module.
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-29 , allows the user to set
each one of the ports on the 6H122-08 as a source or destination port. A port can be set to have one or more destination ports. For example, port 1 can be set as a source port with three destinations, ports 2, 3, and 4.
Traffic from port 1 is then automatically redirected to ports 2, 3, and 4.
Port 1 can also serve as a destination port for other ports. The port redirect function is extremely useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows traffic to be sent to a particular port(s) where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current traffic from the source port(s) can be examined.
NOTE
Although all traffic from the source port (including, if desired, errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.

The following definitions explain each field of the RMON Statistics screen:
RMON Index (Read-only)
This field displays the current Ethernet interface for which statistics are being shown. The 6H122-08 has an embedded RMON agent that gathers statistics for each interface on the module.
Data Source (Read-only)
This field displays the source of the statistics data that is currently being
displayed on the screen. Figure 5-34 shows that the data source for this
RMON index is Interface 1 (port 1) by displaying the name IfIndex.1. If the screen was displaying RMON statistics for Interface 2 (port 2), the name displayed would be IfIndex.2.
Owner (Read-only)
This field displays the name of the entity that configured this entry.
Status (Read-only)
The Status field displays the current operating status of the displayed interface. This field will display “Valid” or “Invalid”.
Drop Events (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of times that the RMON agent was forced to discard frames due to the lack of available switch resources.
NOTE
The Drop Events field does not display the number of frames dropped, it only displays the number of times that the RMON agent was forced to discard frames.
Collisions (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of collisions that have occurred on this interface.
Broadcast Pkts (Read-only)
The Broadcast Pkts field displays the total number of good frames that were directed to the broadcast address. The value of this field does not include multicast frames.
5-92 6H122-08 User’s Guide
NOTE
RMON Statistics Screen
Multicasts (Read-only)
The Multicasts field displays the total number of good frames received that were directed to a multicast address. The value of this field does not include frames directed to the broadcast address.
CRC Align Errors (Read-only)
This field displays the number of frames with bad Cyclic Redundancy
Checks (CRC) received from the network. The CRC is a 4-byte field in the data frames that ensures that the data received is the same as the data that was originally sent.
Undersized Pkts (Read-only)
The Undersized Pkts field displays the number of frames received whose size was less than the minimum Ethernet frame size of 64 bytes, not including preamble, but have a valid CRC.
Oversized Pkts (Read-only)
The Oversized Pkts field displays the number of frames received whose size exceeded 1518 data bytes, not including preamble, but have a valid
CRC.
Fragments (Read-only)
This field displays the number of received frames that are not the minimum number of bytes in length or received frames that had a bad
Frame Check Sequence (FCS), were less than 64 bytes in length
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS bytes), and have an invalid
CRC.
It is normal for the Fragments field to increment. This is because the RMON agent increments the field when runts
(frames less than 64 bytes) are detected, which are normal occurrences due to collisions, and when noise hits occur.
Jabbers (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of frames that were greater than 1518 bytes and had either a bad FCS or a bad CRC.

arp:
Syntax:
Description: arp <options>
The arp command provides access to the ARP
(Address Resolution Protocol) cache, enabling you to view cache data, delete entries, or add a static route. Super-User access is required to delete an entry or add a static route.
6H122-08 User’s Guide 5-97
Chapter 5: Local Management
Each ARP cache entry lists the network
interface that the device is connected to, the device’s network address or IP address, the device’s physical address or MAC address, and the media type of connection to the device.
Media types are displayed as numbers, which stand for the following states:
1 - Other
2 - Invalid entry (cannot ping device, timed out, etc.)
3 - Dynamic route entry
4 - Static route entry (not subject to change)
You can specify the arp command without options, or with one of the following options:
Options: -a Views cache data
-d Deletes an IP address entry. Requires additional arguments: <Interface Number> <IP address>
-s Adds a static entry. Requires additional arguments: <Interface Number> <IP address>

OPTIONAL INSTALLATIONS AND
MODE SWITCH BANK SETTINGS
This appendix covers the following items:
• Required tools (
•
Locations, functions, and settings for the mode switches ( Section C.2
)
•
Installing Optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules ( Section C.3
)
C.1
REQUIRED TOOLS
You need the following tools to perform the procedures provided in this appendix:
• Antistatic wrist strap (provided with 6C105 chassis)
NOTE
A Phillips screwdriver is required when installing optional Fast
Ethernet Interface Modules for ports 7 and 8 into the 6H122-08.
C.2
SETTING THE MODE SWITCH
These switches are set at the factory and do not need to be changed unless you intend to perform the following:
• Force download a new image file from a BootP server.
• Clear NVRAM and restore all user-entered parameters such as the IP address and Subnet Masks to the 6H122-08 “Default” configuration settings.
• Clear user-entered passwords stored in NVRAM and restore the default passwords.

Figure C-1 6H122-08 Mode Switch Location/Component Layout
Switch definitions and positions are as follows:
• Switches 1 through 4 – For Cabletron Systems use only.
• Switch 5 – COM Port Autobaud. The default (OFF) position enables
Autobaud sensing on the COM port for Local Management sessions.
Changing the switch to the ON position disables Autobaud sensing and sets the COM port to 9600 baud for Local Management sessions.
• Switch 6 – Forced BootP. Changing the position of this switch (i.e., moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download information from NVRAM and forces the 6H122-08 to download a new image file from a BootP server after power to the chassis is restored.
NOTE
After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power to the chassis until there is a station acting as a BootP server, which contains the image file.
C-2 6H122-08 User’s Guide
NOTE
Setting the Mode Switch
• After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the module, the
6H122-08 requests a new image download until they either receive a new image or the RESET button on the front panel is pressed. When the RESET button is pressed, the 6H122-08 continues trying to contact a BootP server, but will time out in approximately one minute. If the module times out, the image is downloaded from its FLASH memory.
• Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets
NVRAM on the next power up. ALL user entered parameters, such as
IP addresses, subnet masks, SNMP traps, and switching functions are restored to their factory default settings.
• Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Strings. Changing the position of this switch clears only the user-entered passwords stored in
NVRAM, and restores the default passwords. Once the 6H122-08 resets, the passwords can either be reentered or the default passwords
(Public and ENTER) may be used.
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to reset the module super-user configured passwords to their factory default settings.

Installing Optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules
To install a Fast Ethernet Interface Module in port slot 7 or 8 of the
6H122-08, proceed as follows:
!
CAUTION
The Fast Ethernet Interface Module and the 6H122-08 are sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to do so could damage the module or the 6H122-08.
!
CAUTION
The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from the network adapter.
1.
Remove the coverplate from the port slot where the Fast Ethernet
Interface Module will be installed.
TIP
When installing Fast Ethernet Interface Modules in both port slots 7 and 8, remove the coverplates from both slot openings.
In the following instructions, the optional module is shown being installed in port slot 8.
To remove a coverplate, refer to Figure C-3
and proceed as follows: a.
Remove the two screws fastening the coverplate to the standoffs.
Save the screws.
b.
Lift and remove the coverplate from the top of the front standoffs.

CAUTION
When installing an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 module into the
6H122-08, remove the rubber plug on the module before proceeding.
3.
. Gently pull the faceplate of the 6H122-08 forward to allow room for the Fast Ethernet Interface Modules to be aligned over the connector.
4.
Carefully lower the Fast Ethernet Interface Module onto the standoffs while inserting the module connector into the associated motherboard connector.
!
CAUTION
When inserting the Fast Ethernet Interface Module into the motherboard connector ensure that the pins do not bend, as this can damage both the Fast Ethernet Interface Module and the motherboard connector.
