Introduction 1.3.1 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module The 7X00 SmartSwitch Controller Module is the only processing and management element in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch. The 7X00 Module has no front panel data ports. All data enters and exits the 7X00 Module via the SmartSwitch Bus on the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch’s backplane. The 7X00 Module directs incoming data to its intended destination by using a group of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) collectively known as

Introduction 1.3.3 Operations Data packets entering through the front panel of a SmartSwitch interface module in the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch are converted by the module’s hardware into frames that have a common “canonical” format. Canonical frames are forwarded along the 7C03’s SmartSwitch Bus to the 7X00 Module in slot one. The configuration of the 7X00 Module (either traditional switch or SecureFast Packet Switch) determines the manner in which canonical frames are processed. When ope
