SmartSwitch 9000 9E423-36 Local Management Appendix 9031943-03
Appendix 9E423-36 Module Specific Information Introduction This appendix contains local management information that is specific to the 9E423-36 Ethernet Switch Module. The 9E423-36 Ethernet Switch Module is a 37-port switching module with: • • 36 front panel Ethernet ports 1 Internal Network Bus (INB) backplane port Each front-panel port of the 9E423-36 can be configured to operate in the Full Duplex mode. This configuration allows each port to provide a full 20 Mbps of bandwidth.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information Module Interface Codes The 9E423-36 Ethernet Switch Module has 41 interfaces. Table 1 lists the identifying number, name, and description of each interface. Table 1.

9E423-36 Module Specific Information Full Duplex Configuration Screen The Full Duplex Configuration Screen (Figure 1), displays the port number, operation mode, link status, and port status of the module’s 36 ports (12 ports at a time). SmartSwitch 9000 Local Management Full Duplex Configuration Module Name: 9E423-36 Slot Number: 12 PORT# 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 SAVE Firmware Revision: XX.XX.XX BOOTPROM Revision: XX.XX.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information Full Duplex Configuration Screen Fields The following information briefly explains each Full Duplex Configuration Screen field. OPERATION MODE (Toggle) Lets you determine whether the specified port will transmit and receive data separately or simultaneously. You can set this field to one of the following values: • STANDARD ENET - The port can either transmit data or receive data, but not both at the same time.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information Setting One Port to Full Duplex To set one Ethernet port to Full Duplex (for example, port 1): 1. Use the arrow keys to highlight STANDARD ENET in the Operation Mode field (to the right of port 1). 2. Press the Space Bar until FULL DUPLEX appears in the field. 3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command on the bottom line of the screen. 4. Press the Return key. Setting All Ports to Full Duplex To set all 36 Ethernet ports to Full Duplex: 1.
E423-36 Module Specific Information Port Statistics Screen The Port Statistics Screen (Figure 2), displays information and statistics about the module’s 36 Ethernet ports. SmartSwitch 9000 Local Management PORT STATISTICS Module Name: 9E423-36 Slot Number: 12 Firmware Revision: XX.XX.XX BOOTPROM Revision: XX.XX.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information Port Statistics Screen Fields The following information briefly explains each Port Statistics Screen field. PORT # (Read-only) Indicates the current port for which statistics are displayed. OCTETS (Read-only) Displays the number of octets transmitted and received. PACKETS (Read-only) Displays the number of packets transmitted and received. TOTAL ERRORS (Read-only) Displays the total number of errors on this port.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information MULTICASTS (Read-only) Displays the number of multicasts received. LINK STATUS (Read-only) Displays one of the following values: • • • Link No Link N/A PORT TYPE (Read-only) Displays one of the following values: • • • • • • • • AUI BNC EPIM-x MMF SMA MMF ST RJ45 RJ21 SMF ST PORT STATUS (Read-only) Indicates the administrative status of the selected port. Possible values are ENABLED and DISABLED.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information Displaying Statistics for Another Port To display statistics for another port: 1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the PORT # field at the bottom of the screen. 2. Press the Space Bar to increment (or press the Backspace key to decrement) the port number. 3. Press the Return key (neither the read-only Port # field nor the statistics will change until you press the Return key).
9E423-36 Module Specific Information SmartTrunk Configuration Screen The SmartTrunk Configuration Screen (Figure 3), allows you to logically group interfaces together between devices to achieve greater bandwidth between the devices. Access the SmartTrunk Configuration Screen from the Device Specific Configuration Menu Screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the SmartTrunk Configuration option and pressing ENTER. The SmartTrunk Configuration screen displays.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information SmartTrunk Configuration Screen Fields The following information briefly explains each SmartTrunk Configuration Screen field. Port # (Read-only) Identifies the number of the port. Port Name (Read-only) These are the names assigned by Cabletron Systems for all bridging interfaces. Connection (Toggle) Enables the connection type for the interface: • USER connections do not participate in SmartTrunking.
9E423-36 Module Specific Information Displaying the SmartTrunk Ports There are two SmartTrunk screens. Each screen can display up to 12 ports. The NEXT and/or PREVIOUS command displays at the bottom of the screen, allowing you to navigate to either the next or previous screen. For example, with two screens of entries, the NEXT command displays at the bottom of the first screen. In the second screen, the PREVIOUS command displays. To display the next screen, use the arrow keys to highlight NEXT.
