The SPECTRUM management modules SMCSI1076, SM-CSI1082, SM-CSI1088, SMENT1000 and SM-ENT1001 currently allow you to model the following Chassis and SmartSwitch 6000/Matrix E6 devices: • The 6-SSRM-02 is a new module for the SmartSwitch 6000 chassis. The 6-SSRM-02 views are detailed in the Smart Switch Router document.
Introduction Supported Devices Networking Characteristics Management Modes Each SmartSwitch 6000 module is designed with a fully distributed switching architecture, which allows the modules to be managed as single entities, with a single module acting as a proxy agent for the chassis. See Management Modes on Page 7. You can configure the SmartSwitch 6000 module to operate in one of three management modes: Distributed, Standalone, or Mixed.
Introduction Supported Devices Standalone Mode 6C105 and 6C107 Chassis 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. Figure 1 shows the 6C105 chassis with two power supplies installed and no SmartSwitch 6000 modules installed.
Introduction Figure 1: Supported Devices SmartSwitch 6000 6C105 Chassis SmartSwitch 6000 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.
