Introduction  
In addition, any local management information that is specific to a  
particular SmartSwitch interface module is described in a module  
Ethernet SmartSwitch Interface Module Local Management Appendix  
explains information that is specific to local management of the  
7E03-24 Module only.  
1.3 7C03 MMAC SMARTSWITCH OVERVIEW  
The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch (Figure 1-1) is a metal enclosure  
that can be placed into two module slots of an MMAC chassis. The  
7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch attaches to the MMAC chassis’ power  
bus, but does not attach to the data channels on the chassis’  
backplane. The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch can be installed or  
removed from the MMAC chassis at any time without affecting the  
operation of the rest of the network.  
The 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch has three module slots. The left-  
most slot (slot one) is reserved for the 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller  
Module, a management module that contains a Smart Switching  
engine. The other two slots can support any combination of  
Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, and ATM SmartSwitch interface  
modules.  
Spanning the rear wall of the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is the  
SmartSwitch Bus. All modules that are inserted into the 7C03  
MMAC SmartSwitch connect to the SmartSwitch Bus. All  
communication between modules within the 7C03 MMAC  
SmartSwitch is achieved via the SmartSwitch Bus.  
All data and management information from SmartSwitch interface  
modules within the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is relayed along the  
SmartSwitch Bus to the 7X00 Module. All switching functions are  
performed by the 7X00 Module. Thus, within the confines of the  
7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch, data can be freely transmitted  
regardless of front panel technology. With no external bridges or  
routers, the transfer of data from one point to another within the  
7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch is virtually direct.

Figure 1-1. 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch  
Because the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch does not attach to the data  
channels on the backplane of an MMAC chassis, data can not be  
transmitted internally from SmartSwitch interface modules to the  
other modules in the MMAC chassis. However, data can be  
transmitted externally from SmartSwitch interface modules to any  
other destination (in the same chassis or elsewhere) via  
connections to the front panel of any SmartSwitch interface  
module.

Introduction  
1.3.1 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module  
The 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module is the only processing  
and management element in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch. The  
7X00 Module has no front panel data ports. All data enters and  
exits the 7X00 Module via the SmartSwitch Bus on the 7C03  
MMAC SmartSwitch’s backplane. The 7X00 Module directs  
incoming data to its intended destination by using a group of  
Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) collectively  
known as the SmartSwitch Core. All packet switching functions  
are performed in the module’s SmartSwitch Core. The  
SmartSwitch Core is capable of switching up to 750,000 frames per  
second. The firmware on a 7X00 Module determines the  
SmartSwitch Core’s operating mode (traditional switch or  
SecureFast Packet Switch). The module’s CPU (an i960  
microprocessor®) is used to collect management data of the  
SmartSwitch system.  
Note: The 7X00 Module is not hot-swappable. Because the 7X00  
Module is the only processing/management module in the 7C03  
MMAC SmartSwitch, removing the 7X00 Module will sever  
communications to all SmartSwitch interface modules in the  
7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch.  
1.3.2 SmartSwitch interface modules  
SmartSwitch interface modules in a 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch  
communicate freely with each other via the 7C03’s SmartSwitch  
Bus and 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module. SmartSwitch  
interface modules can be installed or removed from the 7C03  
MMAC SmartSwitch at any time without impacting the rest of the  
network.

Introduction  
1.3.3 Operations  
Data packets entering through the front panel of a SmartSwitch  
interface module in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch are converted  
by the module’s hardware into frames that have a common  
“canonical” format. Canonical frames are forwarded along the  
7C03’s SmartSwitch Bus to the 7X00 Module in slot one. The  
configuration of the 7X00 Module (either traditional switch or  
SecureFast Packet Switch) determines the manner in which  
canonical frames are processed.  
When operating as a traditional switch (a store-and-forward  
switch using the 802.1d Spanning Tree protocol), the 7X00  
Module’s SmartSwitch searches for the canonical frame’s  
destination address in the module’s connection table. If the  
canonical frame’s destination address is found in the connection  
table, the frame is forwarded to that specific destination via the  
7C03’s SmartSwitch Bus. If the canonical frame’s destination  
address is not found in the connection table, the frame is flooded to  
all of the SmartSwitch interface modules via the 7C03’s  
SmartSwitch Bus.  
When operating as a SecureFast Packet Switch, the 7X00 Module’s  
SmartSwitch searches for the canonical frame’s destination  
address-source address (DA-SA) pair and receive port in the  
module’s connection table. If the canonical frame’s entry is found  
in the connection table, the frame is forwarded to a specific  
destination via the 7C03’s SmartSwitch Bus. If the canonical  
frame’s entry is not found in the connection table, a request is sent  
to the system’s Virtual Network Services (VNS). The VNS checks  
its virtual routing tables and policy sections. If the frame’s  
information appears in the VNS’ virtual routing tables and the  
VNS’ policy section contains an entry that verifies that the frame’s  
source and the frame’s destination are a valid combination, then  
the frame is forwarded to its destination via the 7C03’s  
SmartSwitch Bus, and a corresponding entry is written to the  
receiving module’s connection table. Otherwise, the frame is  
dropped.

CHAPTER 2  
INSTALLATION  
This chapter contains instructions for unpacking and installing the  
7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch in an MMAC chassis. The 7C03 MMAC  
SmartSwitch can be installed in an MMAC-M5FNB or in an  
MMAC-M8FNB chassis.  
Note: Because of the modular nature of the power supplies and interface  
modules in the MMAC-M5FNB and MMAC-M8FNB chassis,  
there is no one standard MMAC configuration that can be used as  
a reference. The way you configure your MMAC-M5FNB or  
MMAC-M8FNB chassis (number of power supplies, number and  
types of interface and management modules) is determined by  
your specific needs. Therefore, to insure that the power  
requirements of your MMAC will not be exceeded by the addition  
of a 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch, we recommend that you contact  
Cabletron Technical Support prior to installing the 7C03 MMAC  
SmartSwitch.
