CHAPTER 1  
INTRODUCTION  
Welcome to the Cabletron Systems VHSIM-G02 User’s Guide. This  
manual describes the VHSIM-G02 and provides information concerning  
features, installation, troubleshooting, information on Local Management,  
and specifications for the VHSIM-G02 (Very High Speed Interface  
Module).  
IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit Copper) and IEEE 802.3x (Flow Control and  
Auto-Negotiation) data communications networks and their physical  
layer components is helpful when installing the VHSIM-G02.  
The VHSIM-G02 can be installed into compatible Cabletron Systems  
2000 and 6000 series products.  
The VHSIM-G02 (Figure 1-1) has two ports that provide Gigabit  
Ethernet connections. There are two possible modes of operation for the  
VHSIM-G02. In mode one, both ports are active and transmit/receive data  
simultaneously. This mode can only be selected if the host platform has  
16 or less fixed front panel ports. In mode two, one port is active and the  
other is redundant. Redundancy is triggered based on link activity; if port  
one loses link then port two becomes active. Port one is active by default.  
The default mode for the VHSIM-G02 is redundancy.

REDUNDANCY  
The VHSIM-G02 supports two modes of operation. In the active mode,  
both interfaces are enabled, and all LED descriptions will apply to both  
ports. In the redundancy mode, one port is active while the other is  
redundant.  
In the redundancy mode, only one of the two ports on the VHSIM-G02 is  
active at one time. The port with link status showing (either a green LED,  
solid or blinking, or an amber LED) is the active port. If both ports show a  
link, Port 1 is the active port. The default port for the primary port link is  
Port 1.  
The interfaces can be set in the active mode only if the host platform has  
16 or less fixed front panel ports. If the host platform has more than 16  
fixed front panel ports, the ports on the VHSIM-G02 will be in  
redundancy mode. The host platform will allow the redundancy mode to  
be set regardless of the number of fixed front panel ports.
