Management Features
13
■
Slots for two management modules that do not
take up interface module or switch fabric module
space
You can fill the management module slots with an
Enterprise Management Engine (EME) and an
Enterprise Management Controller (EMC), or with
two EMEs to provide standby management
support. You can also run the 7-slot Switch with
one EME installed.
The EME uses the management bus to send
commands to all installed interface modules and
the switch fabric module and to collect
information from the modules.
■
A single passive backplane that enables the use of
multiple networking technologies, defined by the
type of switch fabric module that is installed
■
One slot for a switch fabric module in the chassis
to provide optimal network performance
■
Slots for two power supplies to supply 930 watts
with n + 1 redundancy and 1860 watts without
n + 1 redundancy, depending on the type and
quantity of installed modules
■
Power supplies that you can add or replace while
the chassis is running (referred to as
warm
swapping
)
■
Slots for six interface modules
■
Packet switching at an aggregated bandwidth of
up to 30 Gbps
■
Power fault-tolerant mode where you can reserve
the power of a single power supply (930 watts) to
act as a backup if the other power supply fails
■
One exhaust fan tray (with the power and
reliability of four fans) to make sure that the
chassis maintains the optimal temperature for
operation
Management Features
You can manage the CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise
Switch through:
■
An out-of-band terminal interface
■
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
■
The 3Com Transcend Network Control Services
■
The standard Telnet client-to-server application
■
The 3Com Web Management suite of applications

EME Management Architecture
The Enterprise Management Engine (EME) is the
primary communication mechanism into the 7-slot
chassis and any installed switch fabric modules and
interface modules.
The EME is an SNMP-based network management
module that manages and controls the 3Com
CoreBuilder 9000 chassis and its modules.
