SmartSwitch 6500 Installation and Setup Guide 1-3
Introduction
SmartSwitch 6500 Modules
For redundancy, the SmartSwitch 6500 allows two CPU modules (each mounted on a separate TSM) to exist within
the same SmartSwitch 6C100 chassis. When one CPU module is active, the other CPU is in standby mode. A
background process keeps the standby CPU’s configuration in sync with the active CPU. If the active CPU module
fails, the standby CPU reboots the SmartSwitch 6500 and assumes active status.
Note
The TSMs that support the CPU modules must reside in SmartSwitch 6C110
chassis slots seven (7) or eight (8).

Input/Output Modules (IOMs)
IOMs provide the physical ATM ports for the SmartSwitch 6500 and are mounted as daughter cards on the TSMs. The
TSMs of the SmartSwitch 6500 support a number of different I/O modules with a variety of interfaces and media types;
I/O modules are described in detail in Appendix A, "Specifications." Each TSM can support up to two I/O modules,
and each I/O module provides four physical ports (one physical port per OC-12 I/O module). This allows for a
maximum of eight ports per TSM, and a total of 64 ports for a SmartSwitch 6C110 chassis populated by the maximum
number of TSMs (eight TSMs).
Note
For additional information about using the SmartSwitch 6500, see the
SmartSwitch ATM User Guide. For a complete explanation of all SmartSwitch
6500 console commands, see the SmartSwitch ATM Reference Manual.
