Introduction This section introduces SPECTRUM Device Management documentation for SmartSwitch 6000 devices. The section is organized as follows: • • • • Purpose and Scope Required Reading Supported Devices (page 8) The SPECTRUM Model (page 12) Purpose and Scope and navigation techniques, refer to the documentation listed under Required Reading.
Introduction Supported Devices Supported Devices Networking Characteristics The SPECTRUM management modules SM-1076, SM-1082, SM-1088 currently allow you to model the following Chassis and SmartSwitch 6000 devices: The SmartSwitch 6000 is designed with a fully distributed switching architecture within each module, which allows the modules to be managed as a single entity, with a single module acting as a proxy agent for the chassis, see odesManagement Modes (page 9).
Introduction Supported Devices Management Modes Standalone Mode You can configure the SmartSwitch 6000 to operate in three management modes: Distributed, Standalone, and Mixed. In this mode, each installed module provides its own management functions. You configure all of the modules in the chassis to Standalone mode and assign separate IP addresses for each module. SPECTRUM management is through the representative Device icons created for each module during discovery and modeling.
Introduction Supported Devices 6C105 Chassis Figure 1: SmartSwitch 6000 Chassis Figure 1 shows the chassis with two power supplies installed and no SmartSwitch 6000 modules installed. When installed, the modules interface to the Frame Transfer Matrix (FTM) backplane in the chassis, thus each module has a separate, independent backplane connection to every other module in the chassis.
Introduction Supported Devices SmartSwitch 6000 Modules 6E Ethernet Modules The modules are divided into three groups representing three technologies: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Carrier. The groups are supported by SPECTRUM Management Module products as listed in Table 1. These modules provide the front panel ports and interface uplink connectivities listed in Table 2.
Introduction The SPECTRUM Model 6H Fast Ethernet Modules Table 3: These modules provide the front panel ports and interface uplink connectivities listed in Table 3.
Introduction The SPECTRUM Model attributes and functionality. Refer to Modeling (page 61) for modeling instructions. Figure 2: Device Icons IP Address The model type designators for the SmartSwitch 6000 use an underbar to replace the dash in the device model number. For example, 6E122_26 refers to the model type for the 6E122-26 module. 6H203_24 IP Address SPECTRUM’s AutoDiscovery (as well as manual modeling procedures) results in the creation of Device icons that represent the modules.

Modeling Modeling This section describes how to manually model a 6C105 chassis and a SmartSwitch 6000 module installed in the chassis and place the resulting device icons in their proper SPECTRUM views. Introduction The following topics are covered in this section: • • • • • AutoDiscovery vs.
Modeling Manual Modeling Overview For proper device management, the module’s Device icons appear in a Topology view and you may place the chassis’s Device icon in a Room Location view. This is true whether you use AutoDiscovery or manual modeling, In some instances, this may require you to copy and paste Device icons into the proper SPECTRUM views. The manual modeling instructions given in this section describe how this is accomplished.
