Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 Ethernet - Manual (Page 26)

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1-14 EMM-E6 User’s Guide
When frames have destination addresses for a different bus:
• the sending RIC MIM transmits the frames over its designated
Ethernet bus;
• the other RIC MIMs on this bus receive the frames, and repeat them;
• the EMM-E6, after determining the source and destination, forwards
the traffic accordingly.
In addition to providing management for these modules, the EMM-E6
also gathers Network, Board, and Port Level performance and error
statistics for each individual RIC MIM on Channels B and/or C.
1.4.3 Other FNB Modules
Third Party MIMs - The EMM-E6 recognizes the third party MIMs
listed below and provides each module with support concerning the
statistics on the backplane and the control of channel selection for the
entire module:
• CSMIM2 - With supported connectivity for Channels A, B, or C in
an FNB chassis.
• MODMIM - With supported connectivity for Channels A, B, or C
in an FNB chassis.
• CRM-3E - With supported connectivity for Channels A, B, or C in
an FNB chassis.
• PCMIM - With supported connectivity for Channel A in any
MMAC chassis.
• SNACMIM-E - With supported connectivity for Channel A in any
MMAC chassis.
