Table 4 describes the EME access mechanisms.
Table 4
EME Access Mechanisms
.
The EME contains the following software
components:
■
System Controller Component (SCC), which
supports Switch monitoring, module inventory
management, and power management.
■
System Management Component (SMC), which is
the central network management agent and
provides network management operations within
the Switch.
For information about how to install the EME and
how to perform an initial configuration, see the
Enterprise Management Engine Quick Start Guide for
the CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Switch
.
Enterprise Management Controller (EMC)
The 3Com CoreBuilder 9000 EMC module provides
standby controller functions for an EME in a
CoreBuilder 9000 7-slot chassis, 8-slot chassis, and
16-slot chassis.
The EMC maintains Switch operation
in the event of an SMC failure.
For information about how to install the EMC, see the
Enterprise Management Controller Quick Start Guide
for the CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Switch
.
Interface Modules
The CoreBuilder 9000 7-slot Switch contains six slots
for interface modules. Fast Ethernet modules, Gigabit
Ethernet modules, or ATM modules can occupy every
slot, except slot 7, in the 7-slot chassis. The
six interface modules in the 7-slot Switch access five
2 Gbps serial channels, which are wired to one
dedicated switch fabric module slot.
The 8-slot Switch contains six slots for interface
modules. Fast Ethernet modules, Gigabit Ethernet
modules, or ATM modules can occupy every slot,
except slot 7 and slot 8, in the 8-slot chassis. The
six interface modules in the 8-slot Switch access five 2
Gbps serial channels, which are wired to two
dedicated switch fabric module slots.
