SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
THE DELF3-UI FAST ETHERNET INTERFACE MODULE, DEL05-UI
FDDI PORT INTERFACE MODULE, AND DEL29-UI ATM PORT INTER-
FACE MODULE USE CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS. READ THE
FOLLOWING SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE
INSTALLING OR OPERATING THESE MODULES.
The Class 1 laser transceivers use an optical feedback loop to maintain Class 1 operation limits. This
control loop eliminates the need for maintenance checks or adjustments. The output is factory set, and
does not allow any user adjustment. Class 1 laser transceivers comply with the following safety
standards:
•
•
•
21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (FDA).
IEC Publication 825 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
CENELEC EN 60825 (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
When operating within their performance limitations, laser transceiver output meets the Class 1
accessible emission limit of all three standards. Class 1 levels of laser radiation are not considered
hazardous.
SAFETY INFORMATION
CLASS 1 LASER TRANSCEIVERS
LASER RADIATION AND CONNECTORS
When the connector is in place, all laser radiation remains within the fiber. The maximum amount of
radiant power exiting the fiber (under normal conditions) is -12.6 dBm or 55 x 10-6 watts.
Removing the optical connector from the transceiver allows laser radiation to emit directly from the
optical port. The maximum radiance from the optical port (under worst case conditions) is
0.8 W cm-2 or 8 x 103 W m2 sr-1.
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.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the features of the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA
Interface Modules.
1.1
DLE2X-MA AND DLE3X-MA OVERVIEW
The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA, shown in Figure 1-1, are interface
modules for the DLM6C-AA chassis.
The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA are high-speed network switch
devices that support 802.1D switching (bridging) and 802.1Q switching.
Ports 25 and 26 of the DLE2X-MA support optional Fast Ethernet
Interface Modules and can provide uplinks to 100BASE-TX or
100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet networks. The DLE3X-MA is capable of
being equipped with a High Speed Interface Module (HSIM) that
provides for additional connectivity to other high speed networking
technologies such as Asychronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Wide Area
Networks (WANs) and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
The DLM6C-AA can be used to connect individual high-bandwidth user
devices, such as workstations, and to provide a central switching point for
multiple Ethernet segments using devices such as the HubSTACK or
other third party stackable devices.
Figure 1-1 displays the DLE22-MA and DLE32-MA. The
DLE22-MA and the DLE23-MA are functionally identical, as are
the DLE32-MA and the DLE33-MA. The only difference being
that the DLE23-MA and DLE33-MA modules support RJ21
front panel connections.

DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA Overview
1.1.1
Connectivity
The DLE22-MA and DLE32-MA connect to Ethernet networks or
workstations through 24 RJ45 ports on the front panel. These ports
support UTP connections up to 100 meters. The ports are IEEE 802.3
10BASE-T compliant.
The DLE23-MA and DLE33-MA connect to Ethernet networks or
workstations through two RJ21 connectors on the front panel. These
connectors support 25 pair cable at lengths up to 100 meters. The ports
are IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T compliant.
The DLE2X-MA modules have two front panel slots (ports 25 and 26) for
optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules to support an uplink to
100 Mbps Ethernet backbones or a high speed connection to a local
server.
The DLE3X-MA modules have one front panel slot for an optional High
Speed Interface Module to provide for additional connectivity to other
high speed networking technologies such as ATM, WANs and FDDI.
1.1.2
Full Duplex Switched Ethernet
Each switched Ethernet port supports full wire-speed Ethernet
communications and can be configured to operate in Full Duplex
Switched Ethernet mode, which provides up to 20 Mbps of bandwidth.
The optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules for the DLE2X-MA can
also be configured to operate in Full Duplex Switched Ethernet mode,
which provides up to 200 Mbps of bandwidth.
1.1.3
SmartTrunk
The SmartTrunk feature allows the user to set a group of DLE2X-MA and
DLE3X-MA interfaces, so they can share the traffic load and effectively
increase the bandwidth between connected DLE2X-MA and
DLE3X-MAs or other devices supporting the SmartTrunk feature. For
example, Ports 25 and 26 of the DLE2X-MA could be grouped to provide
a 200-Mbps uplink.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1.4
Management
Management of the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA 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.
1.1.5
Switching Options
The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA provide 802.1D switching and 802.1Q
switching between all of the front panel interfaces including Fast Ethernet
Interface Modules and High Speed Interface Modules (HSIMs).
The 802.1Q switching option allows for future migration to Virtual
Network technologies without requiring the replacement of existing
equipment.
1.1.6
Standards Compatibility
The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA are fully compliant with the IEEE
802.3 standard. The optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules are fully
compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard. The DLE2X-MA and
DLE3X-MA provide IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA)
support to enhance the overall reliability of the network and protect
against “loop” conditions. The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA support 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 the Enterprise MIBs provide a wide array of statistical
information to enhance troubleshooting.
1.1.7
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 DLE2X-MA and
DLE3X-MA LANVIEW LEDs.

DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA Overview
1.1.8
Year 2000 Compliant
The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA have an internal clock that can
maintain the current time and date beyond the year 1999.
1.1.9
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 DLM6C-AA
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

Connecting a Fiber Optic Segment
to the DELFX-UI and DELF3-UI
The DELFX-UI and DELF3-UI have an SC style network port (see
Figure 3-7). 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
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
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.
The DELF3-UI 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.
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, clean them
with alcohol using a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
2. Insert one end of the SC connector into the DELFX-UI or DELF3-UI

Subnet Mask (Modifiable)
When a valid IP address is assigned, the Subnet Mask field
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 DLM6C-AA chassis automatically uses the default subnet
mask that corresponds to the IP class that was entered in the IP address
subnet mask from the default value.
Chassis Date (Modifiable)
Contains a value that the chassis recognizes as the current date. When the
chassis date is modified and saved all interface modules installed in the
chassis are set to this date. To set a new chassis date, refer to
Section 5.7.3.
Chassis Time (Modifiable)

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
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 5-13, 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 DLM6C-AA chassis (1 through 5).

5.16 SNMP COMMUNITY NAMES SCREEN
The SNMP Community Names menu item allows the user to set
Local/Remote Management community names. Community names act as
passwords to Local/Remote Management and are agents of security
access to the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA. Access to the DLE2X-MA
and DLE3X-MA is controlled by enacting any of three different levels of
security authorization (read-only, read-write, and super-user).
If the DLM6C-AA has been assigned community names, it is
not necessary to assign community names to the individual
modules installed in the chassis unless the user wishes to limit
access to DLM6C-AA chassis screens by assigning different
community names to the module. When this is done access is
limited to the screens specific to the module to which the
terminal is attached and the Local Management session begins
at the Module Menu screen.
Super-User access gives the user full management privileges,
allows existing passwords to be changed, and all modifiable
MIB objects for the Cabletron Container MIB and Internet
MIB-II to be accessed.

5.20 SmartTrunk AND THE CONFIGURATION SCREEN
Before discussing the SmartTrunk Configuration screen and how to use it,
it is necessary to understand what SmartTrunk is and the port connection
and configuration rules that must be followed. Failure to follow these
rules will produce poor network performance. Refer to Appendix D,
About SmartTrunk, for basic information on SmartTrunking. For
SmartTrunk configuration rules, proceed to Section 5.20.1.
5.20.1 SmartTrunk Configuration Rules
The following rules must be followed when installing the DLE2X-MA
and DLE3X-MA to operate in a network configuration using
SmartTrunking. These rules also apply to other devices that support
Cabletron Systems’ SmartTrunk application.
1. Only ports designated as NETWORK ports, through Local or Remote
Management screens, will be considered for SmartTrunking.
2. All non-SmartTrunking interfaces MUST be designated as USER
ports.
3. A maximum of 12 ports may be used per instance, and there may only
be 8 instances per device.
4. If three or more devices are connected together for SmartTrunking,
then the ports that connect any of the two devices together MUST be
designated as USER ports to prevent a network loop condition. The
port with the least amount of bandwidth available would be the port(s)
that should be designated a “USER” port.
5. You cannot loop front panel ports back to the same standalone device.
If the devices are modules residing in a chassis, then you cannot loop
back to the same module in the same chassis or to different modules
within that chassis. This includes all backplane interfaces that may
display on the SmartTrunk Configuration screen.
DLE22-MA,DLE32-MA,DLE23-MA and DLE33-MA User’s Guide 5-63
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 5: Local Management
6. You must enable Spanning Tree before enabling SmartTrunk.
Spanning Tree will ‘block’ any ports not used by SmartTrunk that are
looped. This can include NETWORK and USER ports. The reason
for the blocking of a NETWORK port is that the port at the other end
of the link may be configured as a USER port.
Other Considerations
•
If a network loop exists and SmartTrunk becomes disabled, and
Spanning Tree is operational, then the Spanning Tree Algorithm will
respond and block the necessary ports.
•
If SmartTrunk becomes disabled, and a network loop exists, and
Spanning Tree is not-operational (disabled), then an infinite packet
loop would occur, taking down the network.
•
•
If a port is disabled and as a result SmartTrunk is no longer active, then
all traffic is redirected over the remaining port(s).
If three or more interface modules, such as the DLE2X-MA and
DLE3X-MA, or standalone devices are connected together in a loop
condition and all the ports that connect the loop are set to
“NETWORK,” the results are unpredictable. In this case all ports are
assigned as “NETWORK” ports and none are configured as “USER”
ports. This is deemed an illegal configuration.
•
If a network loop exists when a port is disabled, then SmartTrunk will
reconfigure the remaining ports and continue to distribute traffic.
The SmartTrunk Configuration screen may not be available if
the operational mode of the module has been set to 802.1Q
SWITCHING. Refer to your Release Notes to see if the
SmartTrunking feature is supported.
Section 5.15.9 describes how to set the operational mode.
The SmartTrunk Configuration screen, Figure 5-25, allows the user to
logically group interfaces together between devices to achieve greater
bandwidth between the devices.

Configuration Menu screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the

The SmartTrunk Configuration screen displays.
Interfaces with the Port Name “Backplane” may display on this

network performance will result if backplane ports are used as
SmartTrunk interfaces. Section 5.20.1 details all SmartTrunk
configuration rules.
The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA ports must be connected to a
product that supports SmartTrunking for load sharing to
function.

Current Oper. Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of ports 25 and 26.
Depending on the interface installed (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX)
this field displays the following:
•
With a 100BASE-FX interface: 100Base-FX or 100Base-FXFD (full
duplex).
•
(full duplex), 100Base-TX, or 100Base-TXFD (full duplex).
Desired Oper. Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an
interface in port 25 or 26. The field toggles between 100BASE-FX and
100BASE-FXFD (full duplex) when an DELFX-UI or DELF3-UI is
installed. Section 5.23.1 describes how to configure a port with an
DELFX-UI or DELF3-UI.
In normal operation, the port with an DELTX-UI installed
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.
If an DELTX-UI is installed, the field steps to Auto-Negotiation,
10BASE-T, 10BASE-TFD (full duplex), 100BASE-TX, and
100BASE-TXFD (full duplex). In normal operation, the port with an
DELTX-UI installed is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode
and no further user setup is required. Section 5.23.3 describes how to
configure an DELTX-UI.
Advertised Ability (Selectable)
During auto-negotiation, the DELTX-UI “tells” the device at the other end
of the segment what its capabilities are. The capabilities of a port (25 or
26) with an DELTX-UI 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 DELTX-UI
“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

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 5-30, allows the user to set
each one of the ports on the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA 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.

RMON Statistics Screen
The following definitions explain each field of the RMON Statistics
screen:
RMON Index (Read-only)
This field displays the current Ethernet interface for which statistics are
being shown. The DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA have 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 5-35 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 22 (port 22), the
name displayed would be IfIndex.22.
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
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)
The Broadcast Pkts field displays the total number of good frames that
were directed to the broadcast address. The value of this field does not
include multicast frames.

Chapter 5: Local Management
Multicasts (Read-only)
The Multicasts field displays the total number of good frames received
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 are
detected (which are normal occurrences due to collisions) and
when noise hits occur.
Jabbers (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of frames that were greater than 1518
bytes and had either a bad FCS or a bad CRC.
Total Packets (Read-only)
This field displays the total number of frames (including bad frames,
broadcast frames, and multicast frames) received on this interface.

Switch definitions and positions are as follows:
•
•
Switches 1 through 4 – For Digital Equipment Corporation 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 disables Autobaud 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 DLE2X-MA and
DLE3X-MA to download a new image file from a BootP server after
power to the chassis is restored, or the RESET button is pressed.

Setting the Mode Switch
After changing the position of switch 6, DO NOT reapply power
to the chassis or reset the module until there is a station acting
as a BootP server, which contains the image file.
•
Switch 6 – After changing the position of switch 6 and restarting the
module, the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA request 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
DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA continue 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 either the next power up or the next operation of the front
panel RESET switch. ALL user-entered parameters, such as IP
addresses, subnet masks, SNMP traps, and bridging 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 DLE2X-MA
and DLE3X-MA are reset, 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 25 or 26 of the
DLE2X-MA, proceed as follows:
The Fast Ethernet Interface Module and the host module 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 Fast Ethernet Interface Module or the
host module.
The DELF3-UI 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.
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 25 and 26, remove the coverplates from both slot
openings. In the following instructions, the optional module is
shown being installed in port slot 26.
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.
