Connectivity
The front panel Master port connections are via standard fiber FDDI MIC
connectors or RJ-45 Unshielded Twisted Pair ports. Multiple modules can
combine to provide connections for up to 168 FDDI stations. All FDDI stations
connected to the Master ports are directly attached to the FNB backplane. These
ports are not bridged or routed to the FNB backplane.
Management Information Base (MIB) Support
Both concentrator modules provide MIB support including the following:
• IETF FDDI MIB
• IETF MIB II
• a host of Cabletron Enterprise MIBs.
LANVIEW LEDs
The concentrator modules use LANVIEW: the Cabletron Systems built-in visual
diagnostic and status monitoring system. With LANVIEW LEDs, you can quickly
identify the device, port, and physical layer status at a glance.
Hot Swapping
The concentrator modules can be installed or removed from the chassis while the
SmartSwitch 9000 is powered up, without affecting the operation of the rest of the
network.
For a complete list of supported MIBs, refer to the release notes provided in the
concentrator modules package.
