Introduction
Overview
The 9A656-04 (shown in Figure 1-1) is a 4.5 Gbps, single slot module for the
SmartSwitch 9500 chassis. Up to four ATM Network Interface Modules (ANIMs)
of any type can be plugged into the 9A656-04 to provide front panel connectivity
to the network. Cabletron Systems ANIMs can support up to 622 Mbps of
bandwidth per port. The 9A656-04 switches data between the ANIMs and the Cell
Transfer Matrix (CTM) backplane in the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis. This allows for
high-speed switching of data between modules installed in the same chassis that
connect to the CTM backplane. The CTM provides a dedicated 1.6 Gbps link
between each 9A656-04 module.
Through its distributed switching architecture, the 9A656-04 allows all the
modules in the chassis to appear as a single entity, with a single IP address and a
single ATM address. The individual i960 processors and the CTM backplane
interfaces are transparent to the network manager and management applications.
A fully loaded SmartSwitch 9500 chassis appears as a single switch, with one IP
address, and one ATM address.

Operation
ATM Cell Traffic Flow in the 9A656-04
The 9A656-04 SmartSwitch utilizes several innovative features that result in a
completely redundant, fault-tolerant design. The three most important hardware
facets of the 9A656-04 SmartSwitchÕs features are the Cell Transfer Matrix,
Cabletron Systems ASICs, and the i960 HD RISC Processor.
Cell Transfer Matrix (CTM)
The Cell Transfer Matrix provides a Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) based
mesh of full duplex, high-speed (1.6 Gbps) interconnections that carry standard
ATM cell trafÞc. These interconnections are in fact a series of point-to-point links
between an individual module and every other module in the chassis. Each
9A656-04 has 14 physical CTM interfaces; one connection to every other 9A656-04
along with a local loopback interface. A SmartSwitch 9500 chassis with 14 9A656-
04 modules installed would have 182 point-to-point links between all the
interface modules. This enables the SmartSwitch 9500 to provide an aggregate
switching capacity of 63 Gbps if 14 modules are connected to the CTM backplane.
The interconnections exist only between modules that are directly attached to the
CTM.
NOTE
Cabletron Systems ASICs
The 9A656-04 SmartSwitch utilizes Þve separate Cabletron Systems designed
ASICs work together to provide proper trafÞc ßow. The deÞnitions for these
ASICs are as follows:
Queue ASIC
The 9A656-04 has four Queue ASICs installed on the motherboard. These ASICs
support 16 priority queues each. The Queue ASICs support all classes of ATM
service including Constant Bit Rate (CBR), Variable Bit Rate (VBR), Available Bit
Rate (ABR) and UnspeciÞed Bit Rate (UBR). The Queue ASICs also manage all cell
transfers to the Utopia ASICs, using a weighted round-robin algorithm.
TDM (Time Division Multiplexer) ASIC
The TDM ASIC is the central switching engine of the 9A656-04. The TDM ASIC
maintains the connections table, gathers statistics, and provides Usage Parameter
Control (UPC) policing. The TDM ASIC supports up to 128k virtual connections.
SARI (Segmentation and Reassembly Interface) ASIC
The SARI ASIC is the interface that controls the data ßow between the TDM Bus
and the i960 Host Processor. The SARI ASIC has a 768-cell queue and provides the
trafÞc management features of the 9A656-04.

ATM Cell Traffic Flow in the 9A656-04
CTM (Cell Transfer Matrix) ASICs
The 9A656-04 has seven CTM ASICs that provide two interfaces each between the
TDM Bus and the CTM Backplane located in the SmartSwitch 9500 chassis. Each
interface is a full-duplex connection with a raw throughput capacity of 2 Gbps. In
addition, the CTM ASICs perform all trafÞc management between the 9A656-04
and the CTM backplane.
Utopia (Universal Test and Operation Physical Interface) ASICs
The 9A656-04 has four Utopia ASICs whose role is to process ATM cells from the
ANIMs to the TDM Bus, and vice versa. In addition, the Utopia ASICs are
responsible for performing path lookups and outbound header translation.
i960HD Processor
The i960HD processor, working with the Þve types of ASICs deÞned earlier, is
responsible for distributed management functions, signalling, SNMP
management and serving as the in-band management LAN Emulation Client
(LEC) for the module. The i960 also supports out-of-band management interfaces.

Operation
System Management Buses
There are two management channels within the SmartSwitch 9500 system:
¥
SMB-1
¥
SMB-10
These buses provide out-of-band management and inter-module management
communication.
SMB-1 Bus
The SMB-1 is a 1 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9500
chassis. This bus is used by all diagnostic controllers in the system, including the
following:
¥
¥
¥
Connectivity modules
Power supply modules
The environmental module
The SMB-1 transports inter-chassis information between system components,
such as power and environmental information, as well as diagnostic messages.
Periodic loop-back tests are performed by all modules that share this bus to
ensure the validity of SMB-1. In the event a failure is detected on SMB-1, the SMB-
10 may be used as an alternate communication channel.
SMB-10 Bus
The SMB-10 is a 10 Mbps management bus located within the SmartSwitch 9500
chassis, which is also used for inter-chassis communication of modules, as well as
serving as an out-of-band management channel into the SmartSwitch 9500. The
SMB-10 is externalized from the chassis via an optional Ethernet Port Interface
Module (EPIM) located on the front of the environmental module. Through an
EPIM connection, full SNMP management of the SmartSwitch 9500 is available
out-of-band from user data. Modules that share the SMB-10 bus periodically send
out loopback packets to ensure the validity of the SMB-10. In the event a fault is
detected on the SMB-10, the SMB-1 can be used as an alternate communication
channel by the modules.

System Diagnostic Controller
System Diagnostic Controller
This diagnostic controller is composed of a Z-80 microprocessor and its
supporting logic. The diagnostic controller performs the following:
¥
¥
¥
¥
¥
Controls the power-up sequencing of modules
Monitors the 9A656-04 input and output power parameters
Keeps watch over the main host processor
Monitors the temperature
Controls the SMB LANVIEW diagnostic LED
Although the diagnostic controller and the main host processor can operate
independently of each other if needed, they exchange information about each
otherÕs status and overall module condition. The information gathered by the
diagnostic controller is available to the network manager via Local/Remote
Management and the LCD located on the environmental module. The 9A656-04
has been designed so that in the event of a diagnostic controller fault, the modules
continue to function.
