Modules
Various modules can be inserted in a SynOptics Series 5000 chassis. These
modules are divided into the following types:
• Network Management Modules (NMMs), which use the common
management bus to communicate with other modules installed in the
chassis and to manage the network configurations. Ethernet and Token
Ring NMMs have Data Collection Engines (DCEs), which are network
interfaces used to collect data and statistics from the backplanes.
• Host Modules, which only provide connectivity and can be controlled by
any NMM across the common management bus.
• Intelligent Host Modules, which provide connectivity and collect network
statistics that can be retrieved by any NMM.
