Introduction

This chapter introduces the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch 6000 device and provides information about

how to obtain additional support from Cabletron Systems.

1.1 OVERVIEW

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch, shown in Figure 1-1, is an Ethernet interface module for the

Cabletron Systems 6C105 chassis. The 6E233-49 has 48 switched ports via four RJ21 connectors,

and 1 slot for an optional High Speed Interface Module (HSIM).

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch can be used to connect individual high-bandwidth user devices, such

as workstations, or to provide a central switching point for multiple 10 Mbps Ethernet segments.

The optional HSIMs provide one or more high speed uplinks to networking technologies such as

Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), Wide Area Network

(WAN) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). The ESX-1620 is not capable of supporting

VHSIMs.

The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch ports can be configured to control frame traffic several ways,

including prioritizing traffic flow according to protocol type. The 6E233-49 SmartSwitch can also

be configured to establish Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and control the flow of frames

associated with each VLAN according to priority and Ether type. Detailed information about

VLANs is provided in the Cabletron Systems 802.1Q VLAN User’s Guide.

The following sections describe the features of the 6E233-49 SmartSwitch and concludes with

information on how to obtain assistance from Cabletron Systems.

Important Notice

Depending on the firmware version used in the SmartSwitch, some features described in this

document may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the SmartSwitch to
