Introduction Conversely, canonical frames destined for the FNB bus on the SmartSwitch 9000 backplane are converted into FDDI packets via the 9A426-02 Module’s FDDI Network Interface Block (FNIB), and then forwarded onto the FNB. Canonical frames destined for the INB bus on the SmartSwitch 9000 backplane are converted into fixed length data packets via the 9A426-02 Module’s INB Network Interface Block (INB NIB), and then forwarded onto the INB.
