    The Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 6000 Advanced Router Module, the 6SSRM-02, provides non-blocking, high-speed Layer-2 (switching), Layer-3 (routing), and Layer-4 (application) switching. This chapter provides a basic overview of the 6SSRM-02 software and hardware feature set. • If you want to install the 6SSRM-02 now, see •...

These layers are based on the International Standards Organization (ISO) 7-layer reference model.

  • Page 18: Tcp/Udp Services

    Features TCP/UDP Services The following table lists some well known TCP/UDP services provided by the 6SSRM-02. TCP Port Features This section describes the following 6SSRM-02 features: • Address-based and flow-based bridging • Port-based VLANs and protocol-based VLANs • IP and IPX routing •...

  • Page 19: Port And Protocol Vlans

    6SSRM-02s. To simplify VLAN administration, the 6SSRM-02 supports 802.1q trunk ports, which allow you to use a single port to “trunk” traffic from multiple VLANs to another 6SSRM-02 or switch which supports 802.1q. Routing The 6SSRM-02 provides high-speed routing for the following protocols: •...

  • Page 20: Ip Routing

    Features each IPX interface. When the 6SSRM-02 receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one of the 6SSRM-02’s IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the port that received the packet from the network uses information in the module’s L3 lookup tables (or information supplied by the motherboard) to route the packet to its IP destination(s).

  • Page 21: Layer-4 Switching

    Layer-4 Switching In addition to Layer-2 bridging and Layer-3 routing, the 6SSRM-02 performs Layer-4 switching. Layer-4 switching is based on applications and flows. • Layer-4 applications – The 6SSRM-02 understands the application for which an IP or IPX packet contains data and therefore enables you to manage and control traffic on an application basis.

  • Page 22: Quality Of Service

    Features Quality of Service Although the 6SSRM-02 supplies non-blocking high-speed throughput, you can configure the 6SSRM-02 to apply Quality of Service (QoS) policies during peak periods to guarantee service to specific hosts, applications, and flows (source-destination pairs). This is especially useful in networks where the traffic level can exceed the network medium’s capacity.

  • Page 53: Setting Up Snmp Community Strings

    Setting Up SNMP Community Strings To use SNMP to manage the 6SSRM-02, you need to set up an SNMP community on the 6SSRM-02. Otherwise, the 6SSRM-02’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode until you disable it using the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access the SNMP traps issued by the 6SSRM-02’s SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address of the target for the SNMP traps.
