intelligent hub products
SynOptics Communications' Model 5000 intelligent hub represents
the cornerstone of SynOptics' network center application.
Featuring high reliability anfiguration flexibility, the
System 5000 delivers a powerful solution for implementing and
supporting LattisSphere(tm) structured networking environments
comprised of SynOptics System 3000 and System 2000 hubs.
THE SYSTEM 5000 SOLUTION
SynOptics' Model00 is the first
intelligent hub platform to deliver a structured networking
solution for today's legacy networks with a migration path to
future LAN technologies. Featuring a highly-flexible backplane
architecture, the hub supports multiple 10 megabit per second
(Mb/s) Ethernet, 4 and 16 Mb/s Token Ring and 100 Mb/s Fiber
Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networks simultaneously.
The Model 5000 is designed to support highly-segmented enterprise
networks by providing a central point of integration and
administration for distributed environments. Residing in the
network center, the Model 5000 unites distributed System 3000-
and System 2000-based Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI networks as a
single, cohesive system, optimizing the use of centralized
network resources such as servers, bridges and routers.
The Model 5000 also includes a built-in path to the high-speed switching
technologies of the future, enabling customers to incrementally
migrate their shared-media LANs to switched backbone networks
without sacrificing existing investments.
MODEL 5000 PLATFORM
The Model 5000 offers 14 slots to hold any combination of System 5000
Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI host and network management modules.
Fully configured, the hub provides a powerful platform for simultaneously
supporting up to 12 Ethernet segments, nine Token Rings and five FDDI ring
paths with extensive management capabilities. Network managers can perform
precise, detailed management operations such as high-performance
traffic monitoring and packet and protocol analysis at full line
speeds.
In addition, core management capabilities are provided for up
to 52 Ethernet and 26 Token Ring networks operating within the
hub, providing visibility into network operating conditions.
Core management allows network managers to monitor hub hardware
status, control hub configuration and obtain simple network
performance statistics.
The Model 5000 also provides an open path
for integrating emerging technologies that will support future
network growth. For instance, the hub is designed to accommodate
high-speed packet switching and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
cell switching capabilities as they become available.
Three versions of the Model 5000 hub are available, each offering
different backplane configurations. The Model 5000N supports
full IEEE 802.3-compatible Ethernet installations for
high-density Ethernet environments. The Model 5000NT is
identical to the Model 5000N, with the addition of IEEE 802.5
Token Ring capabilities for mixed Ethernet/Token Ring
environments. The Model 5000F is identical to the Model 5000NT,
with the addition of an FDDI backplane for complex Ethernet/Token
Ring/FDDI environments.
The FDDI backplane can also be installed as a simple upgrade in the network
center, allowing users to add high-speed FDDI capabilities to existing
Ethernet and Token Ring hubs. New technologies such as ATM will also be added
incrementally by installing a new backplane section, enabling
users to invest in a base unit today that can be easily upgraded
to satisfy future requirements.
EFFICIENT CONFIGURATION
To maximize front-panel availability, the
Model 5000's power supplies and cooling system are stored in a
cage assembly in the rear of the hub.
The Model 5000 employs a unique -48V DC power source on the hub backplane,
offering a cost-effective system capable of delivering more than 100W per
slot, and 1550W total, to support high-power redundant
configurations and future power-hungry switched technologies.
Tight-tolerance +5V and +12V are maintained by DC-to-DC
converters on each module, providing the 950W of power required
by current System 5000 modules. The power supply, which
tolerates wide power swings to maintain stable performance during
hot-swap operations, also offers an easy migration path to -48V
battery-backed environments in the future.
MODEL 5110 SUPERVISORY MODULE
A Model 5110 Supervisory Module
also resides in the rear of the Model 5000 chassis, delivering a
rich set of common management and status functions throughout the
hub.
The Model 5110 regularly inventories components installed in
the hub and monitors their status, storing configuration data in
non-volatile memory. By redundantly storing the information, the
Supervisory Module ensures the hub's configuration will never be
lost, even following a power cycle.
The module also maintains a front-panel DB-9 Service Port that provides
access to all 14 hub slots, enabling users to collect specific configuration
and status information from installed modules.
INTERNAL MANAGEMENT BUS
Each Model 5000 chassis includes a Common
Management Bus (CMB), a 16-bit parallel backplane bus that
supports internal communications between all installed modules,
including the Supervisory Module, at speeds up to 32 Mb/s. The
CMB also plays a key role in transmitting core management
statistics between host and network management modules.
The bus, which supports a variety of large-block transfers within the hub,
also provides a necessary link between distributed software
applications running on various modules installed in the Model 5000.
RELIABILITY
The Model 5000's high-quality design is intended to
make it the industry's most reliable hub platform. In the
unlikely event of a component failure, the hub includes a number
of redundant back-up systems that eliminate any single point of
failure. These back-up systems include:
* REDUNDANT COOLING. A dual fan unit evenly distributes air
flow to all installed components, even in only one of the two fans is
operating.
* REDUNDANT POWER SUPPLIES. Full load-sharing
power supplies can be configured to support 950W and 1550W
redundant configurations. The Supervisory Module actively
monitors power usage and automatically reports via an LED display
when a redundant configuration is no longer present.
* REDUNDANT CLOCKS: Should the primary source fail, a back-up unit
is activated by the Supervisory Module to monitor and distribute
module clock rates to all slots.
* REDUNDANT CONFIGURATION STORAGE: Back-up copies of the
hub configuration data are stored on each individual module, protecting
against a Supervisory Module failure. If the Model 5110 does fail, the
module will shut down without affecting ongoing LAN performance.
A new module can be hot-swapped to replace the failed unit and
network operations will continue uninterrupted without
compromising or losing the hub's configuration.
LED INDICATORS
The Model 5000 offers a series of LED indicators
to report hub status at a glance. The LEDs, which appear both on
the front and back of the hub, indicate power, cooling,
Supervisory Module, redundant power configuration and overall
system health status.
In addition, LED displays on each module installed in the hub provide
additional information regarding the various network LANs and overall
system operations.
