Chapter 1: Introduction
1.3
6H122-08 OVERVIEW
The 6H122-08 is a Fast Ethernet interface module for Cabletron Systems
6C105 chassis that has six RJ45 switched ports and two optional Fast
Ethernet Interface Module ports (100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX) that
provide Twisted Pair, Multimode, and Single Mode Fiber Optic cabling
connectivity.
The 6H122-08 is used to connect individual high-bandwidth user devices,
such as workstations, and provide a central switching point for multiple
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet segments.
1.3.1
Auto-Negotiation
Twisted Pair ports on the 6H122-08 module have the ability to
auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another
device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange
information “telling” each other what their operating capabilities are. The
Auto-Negotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be
reached between the two devices. For example, the 6H122-08 adjusts to
100 Mbps when the device on the other end of the connection can also
adjust between 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. If the device on the other end of
the connection can only operate at 10 Mbps, then the 6H122-08 adjusts to
10 Mbps operation.
When Auto-Negotiation is supported at both ends of a link, the two
devices dynamically adjust to full or half duplex operation based on the
maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. If the
device connected to the 6H122-08 cannot auto-negotiate, the 6H122-08
interface operates according to the capabilities of the other device.
1.3.2
Connectivity
The 6H122-08 connects to Ethernet networks or workstations through six
RJ45 ports on the front panel. These ports support Category 5 Unshielded
Twisted Pair cables with an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms. These
ports are IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX compliant.
The 6H122-08 has two front panel slots (ports 7 and 8) for optional Fast
Ethernet Interface Modules (FE-100TX, FE-100FX, and FE-100F3) to
support an uplink to 100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or a high speed
connection to a local server using Twisted Pair, Multimode or Single
Mode Fiber Optic cabling.

6H122-08 Overview
1.3.3
Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSE)
Each switched Fast Ethernet port on the 6H122-08 supports 10/100 Mbps
operation and can be configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched
Ethernet (FDSE) mode. FDSE allows each Fast Ethernet port to provide
up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth.
1.3.4
Management
Management of the 6H122-08 module and 6C105 chassis and any
optional equipment is accomplished using Local Management tools or
remote SNMP management stations. Local Management is accessible
through the RS232 COM port on the front panel using a local VT100
terminal, or a remote VT100 terminal via a modem connection, and
in-band via a Telnet connection. In-band remote management is possible
through any SNMP compliant Network Management Software.
1.3.5
Switching Options
The 6H122-08 provides 802.1D switching, 802.1Q switching, or
SecureFast Switching Virtual Network Services between all of the front
panel interfaces including optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules.
SecureFast switching and 802.1Q switching allow for future migration to
Virtual Network technologies without requiring the replacement of
existing equipment.
1.3.6
Standards Compatibility
The 6H122-08 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard. The
optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules are fully compliant with the
IEEE 802.3u standard. The 6H122-08 provides IEEE 802.1D Spanning
Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of the
network and protect against “loop” conditions. The 6H122-08 supports a
wide variety of industry standard MIBs including RFC 1213 (MIB II),
RFC 1757 (RMON), RFC 1493 (Bridge MIB) and RFC 1354 (FIB MIB).
A full suite of Cabletron Systems Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array
of statistical information to enhance troubleshooting.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.3.7
LANVIEW Diagnostic LEDs
LANVIEW diagnostic LEDs serve as an important troubleshooting aid by
providing an easy way to observe the status of individual ports and overall
network operations. Chapter 4 provides details about the 6H122-08
LANVIEW LEDs.
1.3.8
Year 2000 Compliant
The 6H122-08 module and 6C105 chassis have an internal clock that can
maintain the current time and date beyond the year 1999.
1.3.9
Runtime IP Address Discovery
This feature enables the modules to automatically accept an IP address
from a BootP server on the network into NVRAM without requiring a
user to enter an IP address through Local Management.
When the modules are connected to the network and powered up,
Runtime IP Address Discovery (RAD) checks the modules for an IP
address. If one has not yet been assigned (module and 6C105 chassis IP
address set to 0.0.0.0), RAD checks to see if any of the module interfaces
have a link. If so, RAD sends out Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
(RARP) and BootP requests to obtain an IP address from a RARP or
BootP server on the network.
The RAD requests start out at an interval of one second. The interval then
doubles after every transmission until an interval of 300 seconds is
reached. At this point, the interval remains at 300 seconds. The RAD
requests continue until an IP address is received from a RARP or BootP
server, or an IP address is entered using Local Management.

Local Management Features
1.4
LOCAL MANAGEMENT FEATURES
Local Management provides the tools that allow management of the
6H122-08, the Fast Ethernet Interface Modules, and the 6C105 chassis.
Local Management for the 6H122-08 provides the features detailed in
Sections 1.4.1 through 1.4.6.
1.4.1
Distributed Chassis Management
From a management perspective, the 6C105 SmartSwitch 6000 chassis
can be viewed as a single entity with a single IP address. Its management
functions are distributed to all modules. This means a single module in
the chassis, such as the 6H122-08, can be used to manage the entire
chassis, and any other attached module through Local Management,
SNMP, or Telnet applications.
1.4.2
Remote Monitoring (RMON)
The 6H122-08 supports all Ethernet RMON groups, which include
Statistics, Alarms, Events and History. These groups are enabled on all
ports by default.
Cabletron Systems RMON Actions is a vendor specific extension of
RMON and provides the ability to set an “Action” on any SNMP MIB
variable. The Action can be triggered by any RMON Event and/or Alarm.
An example of an Action would be to turn off a MIB-2 interface if a
broadcast threshold is crossed.
1.4.3
Broadcast Suppression
Broadcast Suppression allows a user to set a desired limit of receive
broadcast frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports
on the module up to the set limit. Any broadcast frames above this
specified limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being
suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.4.4
Port Redirect Function
The port redirect function, also referred to as “Port Mirroring,” is a
troubleshooting tool used to map traffic from a single source port or
multiple source ports to a destination port(s) within the chassis. This
feature functions at the bit level, which allows all packets, including those
with errors, to be copied and sent to an analyzer or RMON probe. The
analyzer or RMON probe will see the data as if it is directly connected to
the LAN segment of the source port(s).
1.4.5
SmartTrunk
SmartTrunk, also referred to as SmartTrunking, is Cabletron Systems’
terminology for load balancing or load sharing. SmartTrunk technology
provides an easy-to-implement mechanism to group, or aggregate,
multiple physical links together to scale the backbone bandwidth beyond
the limitations of a single link. All links are user-configurable so
administrators can scale the backbone bandwidth by adding SmartTrunk
links. The SmartTrunk benefits are as follows:
•
•
•
All purchased bandwidth is used.
Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance.
Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for
maximum flexibility.
For more information about SmartTrunk, refer to the Cabletron Systems
SmartTrunk User’s Guide.

3.5.3
Connecting a Fiber Optic Segment to the
FE-100FX and FE-100F3
The FE-100FX and FE-100F3 have an SC style network port (see
Figure 3-5). Cabletron Systems supplies fiber optic cable that uses SC
style connectors that are keyed to ensure proper crossing over of the
transmit and receive fibers.
An odd number of crossovers (preferably one) must be
maintained between devices so that the transmit port of one
NOTES
device is connected to the receive port of the other device and
vice versa.
If the fiber optic cable being used has SC style connectors that
do not resemble MIC style connectors, or has SC connectors
on one end and a different type on the other, such as ST
connectors, ensure that the proper crossing over occurs.
Fiber Optic Network Connection
To connect an FE-100FX or FE100-F3 to the network, perform the
following steps:
1. Remove the protective plastic covers from the fiber optic ports on the
applicable port on the module and from the ends of the connectors.
Leave the protective rubber covers in place when the
connectors are not in use to prevent contamination.
NOTE
The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical
instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from
the network adapter.
!
CAUTION
Do not touch the ends of the fiber optic strands, and do not let
the ends come in contact with dust, dirt, or other contaminants.
Contamination of the ends causes problems in data
transmissions. If the ends become contaminated, blow the
surfaces with a canned duster. A fiber port cleaning swab
saturated with optical-grade isopropyl alcohol may also be used
to clean the ends.

Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply
If the 6C105 chassis is connected to an American Power Conversion
(APC) Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for protection from a loss of
power, a connection from the COM port of a module to the UPS can be
made to monitor the status of the UPS. To use the COM port for this
purpose, it must be reconfigured to support the UPS application. This
interface module. Section 5.15.11, Configuring the COM Port, provides
detailed instructions on configuring the COM port for UPS applications.
Refer to the UPS documentation for details on how to access the status
information.
Use the Console Cable Kit provided with the 6C105 chassis to attach the
UPS to the module COM port as shown in Figure 5-2.
Connect the UPS device to the COM port of the 6H122-08 as follows:
1. Connect the RJ45 connector at one end of the cable to the COM port
on the 6H122-08.
2. Plug the RJ45 connector at the other end of the cable into the
RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter, Cabletron Systems Part No.
9372066.
3. Connect the RJ45-to-DB9 male (UPS) adapter to the female DB9 port
on the rear of the UPS device (refer to the particular UPS device’s user
instructions for more specific information about the monitoring
connection).

automatically enters the default mask that corresponds with
class of IP entered in the IP Address field. Some firmware
revisions do support changing the chassis subnet mask from
the default value. Refer to your Release Notes to ensure that
the Subnet Mask is a modifiable field.
Displays the subnet mask for the chassis. A subnet mask “masks out” the
network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the
network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the
network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies
the host. The 6C105 chassis automatically uses the default subnet mask
that corresponds to the IP class that was entered in the IP address field.

5.11 PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available
depending on the operational mode that has been set for the
NOTE
chassis. Refer to your Release Notes to see what operational
modes support the Port Redirect Function. Refer to
Section 5.7.7, Setting the Operational Mode, for instructions
on configuring the operational mode of all the modules installed
in the chassis.
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-14, allows the user to set
each one of the modules in the chassis (1 through 5), and the ports of the
corresponding module installed, as a source or destination port. A port
can be set to have one or more destination ports and chassis module slot
numbers. For example, port 1 in module (slot) 1 can be set as a source
port with three destinations, ports 2, 3, and 4 in module (slot) 3. Traffic
from port 1 in module 1 is then automatically redirected to ports 2, 3, and
4 in module 3. Port 1 in module 1 can also serve as a destination port for
other ports and modules. The port redirect function is extremely useful for
troubleshooting purposes, as it allows traffic to be sent to a particular
port(s) where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current
traffic from the source port(s) can be examined.
The module number corresponds to the slot number in which
the module resides in the 6C105 chassis (1 through 5).
NOTES
Although traffic from the source port (including, if desired,
errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching
is still performed for all frames on the source port.
Access the Port Redirect Function screen from the Chassis Menu screen
by using the arrow keys to highlight the PORT REDIRECT
FUNCTION menu item and pressing ENTER. The Port Redirect
Function screen, Figure 5-14, displays.

Chapter 5: Local Management
In normal operation, the port with an FE-100TX installed
NOTE
automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end
of the segment without requiring user setup. However, Local
Management provides the user with the option of manually
configuring that port.
Advertised Ability (Selectable)
During auto-negotiation, the FE-100TX “tells” the device at the other end
of the segment what its capabilities are. The capabilities of a port with an
FE-100TX installed, are 10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex mode),
100BASE-TX and 100BASE-TXFD (full duplex mode). In normal
operation, with all capabilities enabled, the FE-100TX “advertises” that it
has the ability to operate in any mode. The Network Manager may choose
to set up the port so that only a portion of the available capabilities are
advertised and the others are disabled. For example, only 100BASE-TX
and 100BASE-TXFD might be enabled so that only devices that operate
how to enable or disable advertised modes.
5.19.1 Configuring an FE-100TX Interface
In normal operation, a port with an FE-100TX interface automatically
establishes a link with the device at the other end of the segment and no
user setup is required. Section 5.19.2 and Section 5.19.3 provide
instructions for manually configuring the port with an FE-100TX
installed.
5.19.2 Setting the FE-100TX Operational Mode
Use this field to set the active technology. This field steps between
Auto-Negotiation, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex),
100BASE-TX, and 100BASE-TXFD (full duplex). If Auto-Negotiation is
selected, the FE-100TX automatically sets the active technology. To
manually set the active technology through Local Management, proceed
as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.

module. Refer to your Release Notes to see what operational
modes support the Port Redirect Function. Refer to
Section 5.15.9, Setting the Operational Mode, for instructions
on configuring the operational mode of the module.
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-29, allows the user to set
each one of the ports on the 6H122-08 as a source or destination port. A
port can be set to have one or more destination ports. For example, port 1
can be set as a source port with three destinations, ports 2, 3, and 4.
Traffic from port 1 is then automatically redirected to ports 2, 3, and 4.
Port 1 can also serve as a destination port for other ports. The port redirect
function is extremely useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows
traffic to be sent to a particular port(s) where, with the use of an analyzer
or RMON probe, all current traffic from the source port(s) can be
examined.
Although all traffic from the source port (including, if desired,
errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching
NOTE
is still performed for all frames on the source port.

being shown. The 6H122-08 has an embedded RMON agent that gathers
statistics for each interface on the module.
Data Source (Read-only)
This field displays the source of the statistics data that is currently being
displayed on the screen. Figure 5-34 shows that the data source for this
RMON index is Interface 1 (port 1) by displaying the name IfIndex.1. If
the screen was displaying RMON statistics for Interface 2 (port 2), the
name displayed would be IfIndex.2.
Owner (Read-only)
This field displays the name of the entity that configured this entry.
Status (Read-only)
The Status field displays the current operating status of the displayed
interface. This field will display “Valid” or “Invalid”.
Drop Events (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of times that the RMON agent was
forced to discard frames due to the lack of available switch resources.
The Drop Events field does not display the number of frames
dropped, it only displays the number of times that the RMON
NOTE
agent was forced to discard frames.
Collisions (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of collisions that have occurred on
this interface.
Broadcast Pkts (Read-only)

that were directed to a multicast address. The value of this field does not
include frames directed to the broadcast address.
CRC Align Errors (Read-only)
This field displays the number of frames with bad Cyclic Redundancy
Checks (CRC) received from the network. The CRC is a 4-byte field in
the data frames that ensures that the data received is the same as the data
that was originally sent.
Undersized Pkts (Read-only)
The Undersized Pkts field displays the number of frames received whose
size was less than the minimum Ethernet frame size of 64 bytes, not
including preamble, but have a valid CRC.
Oversized Pkts (Read-only)
The Oversized Pkts field displays the number of frames received whose
size exceeded 1518 data bytes, not including preamble, but have a valid
CRC.
Fragments (Read-only)
This field displays the number of received frames that are not the
minimum number of bytes in length or received frames that had a bad
Frame Check Sequence (FCS), were less than 64 bytes in length
(excluding framing bits, but including FCS bytes), and have an invalid
CRC.
It is normal for the Fragments field to increment. This is
because the RMON agent increments the field when runts
NOTE
(frames less than 64 bytes) are detected, which are normal
occurrences due to collisions, and when noise hits occur.

Switch definitions and positions are as follows:
•
•
Switches 1 through 4 – For Cabletron Systems use only.
Switch 5 – COM Port Autobaud. The default (OFF) position enables
Autobaud sensing on the COM port for Local Management sessions.
Changing the switch to the ON position disablesAutobaud sensing and
sets the COM port to 9600 baud for Local Management sessions.
•
Switch 6 – Forced BootP. Changing the position of this switch (i.e.,
moving the switch from one position to the other) clears download
information from NVRAM and forces the 6H122-08 to download a
new image file from a BootP server after power to the chassis is
restored.
After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power
to the chassis until there is a station acting as a BootP server,
which contains the image file.

Setting the Mode Switch
•
After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the module, the
6H122-08 requests a new image download until they either receive a
new image or the RESET button on the front panel is pressed. When
the RESET button is pressed, the 6H122-08 continues trying to contact
a BootP server, but will time out in approximately one minute. If the
module times out, the image is downloaded from its FLASH memory.
•
•
Switch 7 – Clear NVRAM. Changing the position of this switch resets
NVRAM on the next power up. ALL user entered parameters, such as
IP addresses, subnet masks, SNMP traps, and switching functions are
restored to their factory default settings.
Switch 8 – Reset Password/Community Strings. Changing the position
of this switch clears only the user-entered passwords stored in
NVRAM, and restores the default passwords. Once the 6H122-08
resets, the passwords can either be reentered or the default passwords
(Public and ENTER) may be used.
Do not change the position of switch 8 unless it is necessary to
reset the module super-user configured passwords to their
factory default settings.

Installing Optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules
To install a Fast Ethernet Interface Module in port slot 7 or 8 of the
6H122-08, proceed as follows:
The Fast Ethernet Interface Module and the 6H122-08 are
sensitive to static discharges. Use an antistatic wrist strap and
observe all static precautions during this procedure. Failure to
do so could damage the module or the 6H122-08.
!
CAUTION
The FE-100F3 uses Class 1 lasers. Do not use optical
instruments to view the laser output. The use of optical
instruments to view laser output increases eye hazard. When
viewing the output optical port, power must be removed from
the network adapter.
!
CAUTION
1. Remove the coverplate from the port slot where the Fast Ethernet
Interface Module will be installed.
When installing Fast Ethernet Interface Modules in both port
slots 7 and 8, remove the coverplates from both slot openings.
In the following instructions, the optional module is shown
being installed in port slot 8.
TIP
To remove a coverplate, refer to Figure C-3 and proceed as follows:
a. Remove the two screws fastening the coverplate to the standoffs.
Save the screws.
b. Lift and remove the coverplate from the top of the front standoffs.
