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.

6H122-08 User’s Guide 1-5

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.3.7

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 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).

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.

This chapter explains how to set up a management terminal to access

6H122-08 Local Management. It also explains how to use the Local

Management screens and commands.

5.1

OVERVIEW

Local Management for the 6H122-08 consists of a series of management screens that allow the management of the module, the attached segments and the 6C105 chassis. The management screens allow the user to perform the following tasks:

• Manage any interface module in the chassis via a connection to a single interface module.

• Assign IP addresses and subnet masks to the 6H122-08 module, and the 6C105 chassis.

• Control access to the 6H122-08 module and the 6C105 chassis by establishing community names.

• Download a new image of operating software.

• Designate which Network Management Workstations receive SNMP traps from the 6H122-08 module, and the 6C105 chassis.

• Monitor the environmental status of the 6C105 chassis.

• View switch, interface, and RMON statistics.

• Assign ports to operate in standard or full duplex mode.

• Enable trunking of ports to perform load sharing.

• Configure the Fast Ethernet Interface Modules of the 6H122-08.

There are three ways to access Local Management:

• Locally using a VT type terminal connected to the COM port of the

6H122-08.

• Remotely using a VT type terminal connected through a modem.

• In-band through a Telnet connection.

Function

These are selection keys that perform the same

Local Management function. For example, “Press

ENTER” means that you can press either ENTER or RETURN, unless this manual specifically instructs you otherwise.

This key allows an escape from a Local

Management screen without saving changes. For example, “Press ESC twice” means the ESC key must be pressed quickly two times.

These keys cycle through selections in some Local

Management fields. Use the SPACE bar to cycle forward through selections and use BACKSPACE to cycle backward through selections.

These are navigation keys. Use the UP-ARROW,

DOWN-ARROW, LEFT-ARROW, and

RIGHT-ARROW keys to move the screen cursor.

For example, “Use the arrow keys” means to press whichever arrow key moves the cursor to the desired field on the Local Management screen.

This key decreases values from a Local

Management increment field. For example, “Press

[]” means to press the minus sign key.

The DEL (Delete) key removes characters from a

Local Management field. For example, “Press DEL” means to press the Delete key.

The following briefly explains each Chassis Configuration screen field:

MAC Address (Read-Only)

Displays the base physical address of the chassis.

IP Address (Modifiable)

This field allows the IP address to be set for the 6C105 chassis. If an IP address is assigned to the 6C105 chassis all the interface modules installed in the chassis can be managed via this IP address, eliminating the need to assign an IP address to each interface module. To set the IP

address, refer to Section 5.7.1

.

6H122-08 User’s Guide 5-17

Chapter 5: Local Management

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.

Section 5.7.2

describes how to change the subnet mask from the default

value.

Chassis Date (Modifiable)

Contains a value that the chassis recognizes as the current date. When the chassis date is modified and saved all interface modules installed in the chassis are set to this date. To set a new chassis date, refer to

Section 5.7.3

.

Chassis Time (Modifiable)

Contains a value that the chassis recognizes as the current time. When the chassis time is modified and saved, all interface modules installed in the

chassis are set to this time. To enter a new time, refer to Section 5.7.4

.

Screen Refresh Time (Modifiable)

Contains the rate at which the screens are updated. This setting determines how frequently (in seconds) information is updated on the screen. To enter a new update time, refer to

Section 5.7.5

.

5-18 6H122-08 User’s Guide

Chassis Configuration Screen

Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’s Local

Management screens. In this example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to

Section 5.7.6

.

Chassis Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time the chassis has been operating. The chassis uptime is based on which interface module installed in the chassis has been operating for the longest period of time.

Operational Mode (Toggle)

This field allows the user to set all the modules in the chassis to operate as traditional switches (802.1D SWITCHING option), or as IEEE 802.1Q switches (802.1Q SWITCHING option).

In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the 6 ports located on the front panel, and each Fast Ethernet Interface Module are bridged to each other.

When the operational mode is set to 802.1Q SWITCHING, the 6H122-08 acts as an IEEE 802.1Q switch. The module is able to increase its switching functionality by creating and maintaining port based Virtual

LANs (VLANs).

For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.7.7

.

5.7.1

Setting the IP Address

To set the IP address, perform the following steps:

4.

Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command, then press

ENTER. The “SAVED OK” message displays indicating that the changes have been saved to memory.

5.7.2

Setting the Subnet Mask

If the management workstation that is to receive SNMP traps from the

6C105 is located on a separate subnet, the subnet mask for the 6C105 must be changed from its default.

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.

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

Section 5.7.7

, 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

Function screen, Figure 5-14

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.

This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an interface.

• FE-100TX Interface – The field steps between Auto-Neg, 10BASE-T,

10BASE-TFD (full duplex), 100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-TXFD

(full duplex). In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX interface is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user setup is required.

Section 5.19.1

describes how to configure an FE-100TX.

• FE-100FX/F3 Interface – The field toggles between 100BASE-FX or

6H122-08 User’s Guide 5-65

Chapter 5: Local Management

NOTE

In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX installed automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the segment without requiring user setup. However, Local

Management provides the user with the option of manually configuring that port.

Advertised Ability (Selectable)

During auto-negotiation, the FE-100TX “tells” the device at the other end of the segment what its capabilities are. The capabilities of a port with an

FE-100TX installed, are 10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex mode),

100BASE-TX and 100BASE-TXFD (full duplex mode). In normal operation, with all capabilities enabled, the FE-100TX “advertises” that it has the ability to operate in any mode. The Network Manager may choose to set up the port so that only a portion of the available capabilities are advertised and the others are disabled. For example, only 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-TXFD might be enabled so that only devices that operate at 100 Mbps can communicate with that port.

Section 5.19.3

describes

how to enable or disable advertised modes.

5.19.1

Configuring an FE-100TX Interface

In normal operation, a port with an FE-100TX interface automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the segment and no

user setup is required. Section 5.19.2

5.19.3

Setting the FE-100TX Advertised Ability

During normal operation, ports 1 through 6 and optionally in port 7 or 8 an FE-100TX auto-negotiates to the highest speed possible. Under some circumstances, the Network Administrator may want the port to advertise only some of the available modes and not operate in other modes. This field steps between 10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex),

100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-TXFD (full duplex). To set the advertised ability, proceed as follows:

1.

Use the arrow keys to highlight the Advertised Ability field.

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

Section 5.15.9

, 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.

APPENDIX C

OPTIONAL INSTALLATIONS AND

MODE SWITCH BANK SETTINGS

This appendix covers the following items:

• Required tools (

Section C.1

)

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.
