Introduction

Features

Out-of-Band Management

Out-of-band management refers to managing the SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot via a

Local Management (LM) connection or an SNMP-based management application

that does not use the same network connection to the chassis as Òuser data.Ó

Three out-of-band management interfaces are built into the 9C306 System

Monitor. Two interfaces are serial RS232 ports:

¥ COM1 supports local management via a VT100 session.

¥ COM2 supports local management via a VT100 session, SLIP, or PPP, or is used

to monitor an American Power Conversion UPS.

The remaining out-of-band management interface supports any standard

Cabletron Systems Ethernet Port Interface Module (EPIM). This interface

provides a direct connection to the internal System Management Bus-10

(SMB-10).

Environmental/Power Monitoring

The 9C306 System Monitor Module monitors and reports chassis power

parameters, as well as the operating status of the chassis cooling module.

Flash EEPROM

The capability of downloading future Þrmware upgrades has been built into the

9C306 System Monitor.

Hot Swapping

The 9C306 System Monitor can be removed from the chassis while the

SmartSwitch 9000-6 Slot is running without interrupting network performance.

LANVIEW LED

The STATUS LED is built into the front of the 9C306 System Monitor. This LED

indicates the status of the System Monitor.
