VNswitch 900EE

This document serves as a comprehensive manual for the installation and configuration of the VNswitch 900EE module. It is intended for personnel responsible for setting up and maintaining the device.

The VNswitch 900EE is a 24-port SNMP-manageable Ethernet switch, providing full-speed switching capabilities between its 10BaseT ports. Key features include:

• Network Capabilities: Operates as a backbone network switch with extensive filtering (source/destination address, protocol type, VLAN) for enhanced control, security, and bandwidth. It features an approximate 8,000-entry address table and is IEEE 802.1d compliant.
• Installation: Supports installation in a DEChub 900 MultiSwitch or as a standalone unit in DEChub ONE/ONE-MX docking stations. It includes a hot-swap feature for module removal/installation without powering down the host system.
• Configuration & Management: Configurable via SNMP or Command Line Interface (CLI) (Telnet or direct terminal connection). Firmware can be upgraded using TFTP. Configuration options, accessible through menus, include resetting settings, displaying current parameters, and assigning IP addresses (in-band and out-of-band, default gateway, SNMP read/write community). For DEChub 900, "Start Redirect Mode" and "Product-Specific Options" like Automatic VNbus Connection are available.
• Advanced Features: Offers bridging capabilities (high-speed local traffic filtering/forwarding, Spanning Tree Protocol), Ethernet features (half/full-duplex operation, dynamic LAN switching, full-performance filtering), and VLAN Secure Domains (VSDs) for grouping ports, creating distributed multicast domains, and supporting multiple spanning trees.
• Problem Solving & Specifications: The manual provides detailed instructions for diagnosing issues using LED indicators, outlines normal power-up sequences, and lists comprehensive product specifications including environmental, power, physical, shock, vibration, and acoustical data. It also details connector and adapter pin assignments.
