witches meet the networking demands of todays distributed, time-critical applications.

rconi switches deliver high-performance switching capacity and speed for demanding,ervice network applications. The ASX-200BX provides 2.5 Gbps of non-blockinging capacity and supports up to 32 ATM ports ranging in speeds from 155 Mbps to 622 For applications requiring greater capacity, the ASX-1000 and the ASX-1200 are scalableps to 10 Gbps backbone switches supporting up to 128 ATM ports.

plete range of LAN and WAN network modules is available with the ASX-200BX,200, and ASX-1000 including 25 Mbps, T1, E1, J2, DS3, E3, 155 Mbps SONET/SDH

TP Category 5 copper and fiber), 622 Mbps OC-12c/STM-4c ATM, as well as Circuittion, Frame-to-Cell, and 10/100 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet internetworking solutions.

nnecting multiple switches at various speeds is simple. Once a new switch is added totwork, all other switches recognize its presence and dynamically establish connectionsts on the new switch. Furthermore, scaling the network is accomplished without costly

e-consuming address reconfiguration and LAN segmentation.

apter provides an overview of the ASX-200BX, ASX-1200, and ASX-1000 multiserviceand switches. It details the individual hardware components available on each switch.

1 Switch Fabricitch fabric (also referred to as the switch board) contains the VPI/VCI lookup tables

uting circuitry to ensure that a cell received from an input port is correctly switched to more output ports. The ASX-200BX comes with one switch fabric, which can contain up network modules. Each network module can contain up to eight ports, depending one of network module. The switch fabric also has an interface called the control port,

is directed by the SCP and is functionally equivalent to an ATM host interface.

up to four network modules, which themselves can contain up to eight ports each,ding on the type of network module. The switch fabric also has an interface called thel port, which is directed by the SCP and is functionally equivalent to an ATM hostce.

SM-1000 switch fabric, the egress connection ID space is divided into four 8K sectionsotal of 32K VCs. One 8K section is used for connections within the local fabric and thehree 8K sections are used for connections going to each of the three other fabrics. The

1.2.1.3 SM-1200 Switch FabricThe ASX-1200 can be populated with as many as four switch fabrics. Each switch fabric cancontain up to four network modules, which themselves can contain up to eight ports each,depending on the type of network module.

The SM-1200 fabrics in the ASX-1200 maintain the non-blocking architecture and features ofthe SM-1000 fabrics, while offering the following traffic management performanceimprovements:

Switch fabric output queues shared by four network modules can store 32K cells.

On an SM-for a total ingress capother threethe SM-10share a 32KASX Multiservice Broadband Switch Installation and Maintenance Manual

The switch fabric output queue to the network module interface can supply up to2.5Gbps of bandwidth to any Series LC network module.

There is support for 128K interfabric connections with 32K from any single fabric.

Partial Packet Discard at the input stage of the switch fabric. If a cell is discardeddue to bandwidth policing, the input stage of the switch discards the remainingcells of that packet. This helps to increase goodput through the switch bydiscarding additional cells that would otherwise need to be retransmitted.

Packet Level Policing occurs at the input stage of the switch fabric.

There is support for burst mode accesses by the SCP.

1200 switch fabric, the egress connection ID space is divided into four 32K sectionsof 128K VCs. Therefore, any single fabric has the potential to handle all four fabrics

abilities. One 32K section is used for connections within the local fabric and the 32K sections are used for connections going to each of the three other fabrics. Like

00 switch fabric, the four network module interfaces on the SM-1200 switch fabric ingress VC space.

1.2.2 Switch Control ProcessorThe switch control processor (SCP) provides the distributed connection setup for a network ofmultiservice switches. The SCP primarily provides management access through SNMP and isresponsible for storing and updating all SNMP management information. Additionally, theSCP has direct access to the switch board (one SCP per switch board). The SCP and associatedsoftware, manages the behavior of the switch board (i.e., connection setup), but is notinvolved in the actual cell switching.

There are two different types of SCPs available: i960-based and Pentium-based. The Pentium-based feature

If there is onlyone FLASH image, selecting Flash? would be thesame as if you selected Auto?. If the boot fromFLASH is unsuccessful, then the SCP tries to performan Ethernet boot. On an i960HA SCP, choosingFlash? will drop you to a submenu where you canselect Default?, FrPanel? or a software version.

Ethernt ? When selected, the SCP uses the bootp protocol to getthe IP address and boot file name from the bootpserver. It downloads the tar file, decompresses it, andexecutes it. On a Pentium-based SCP, if the Ethernetboot is unsuccessful, the SCP goes to VXMon mode.

Monitor ? When selected, the user can connect a terminal to theserial port and run the hardware self-diagnostics thatare described in the Multiservice Broadband SwitchDiagnostics and Troubleshooting Manual.

using dual SCP configuration, you must either use two i960HAs, or two ASXP5s, or twos, or two P5-200s, or two P5-266s in the same switch board. Do not use one of each.er, since the ASX-1000 can have up to four switch boards, you can have two i960HAs inard and two ASXP5s in another board. Similarly, since the ASX-1200 can have up toitch boards, you can have two ASXP5s in one board, and two P5-266s in another board.

CAUTION Both HA SCPs must have the same FLASH size(both 4 MB or both 8 MB) and the same DRAMsize (both 16 MB or both 32 MB). Otherwise,failover cannot occur.

When two SCPs are installed in a switch board, the switch recognizes their presence andautomatically runs in dual SCP mode. When the switch boots, the SCP which resides in slot Xis designated as the primary SCP by default. The SCP which resides in slot Y is designated asthe second

While in dheartbeat controllingdetected ofailover, PVat the swreestablishswitch to cSCP will tPVCs andmaintainedsee Part 2 o

ary SCP by default. This designation can be altered via AMI.

NOTEThe primary SCP and the controlling are notnecessarily the same. Primary refers to the SCPthat is supposed to control the switch after itboots. Controlling refers to the SCP thatactually controls the switch. For example, if theSCP in slot X fails at start-up, the SCP in slot Ywill control the switch even though it is notdesignated as the primary SCP.

ual SCP mode, the controlling SCP emits a heartbeat at regular intervals. Thisis monitored by the standby SCP. In the event of a hardware failure on the SCP, the heartbeat disappears and the standby SCP takes over. If a failure isn the controlling SCP, the standby SCP takes control of the board. At an SCPC connections are dropped, and any SVCs that had been established are torn down

itch. Once the standby SCP takes control of the switch board, PVCs will beed (according to the last-synchronized CDB), and end-stations will signal thereate new SVCs. The larger the CDB (e.g., number of PVCs), the longer the standbyake to fully restore the switch. If PVC/PVP connection preservation is enabled, all PVPs that are listed in the CDB (and found to be intact in the hardware) are without disruption of cell flow. For more information on connection preservation,f the AMI Configuration Commands Manual.

ent standby SCP of the same SCP type as the primary SCP can be hot-inserted intom which a failed SCP was removed. Switch configuration information (i.e., CDB

ion, FLASH configuration, etc.) can be synchronized at regular intervals betweenling and standby SCP. This information is maintained if SCP failover occurs.

NOTEDual SCP failover and automatic CDBsynchronization does NOT occur whendissimilar SCPs are used together in a switchboard. Dissimilar SCPs are those that aredifferent types (e.g., HA, ASXP5, P5-266), orthose that have different FLASH sizes or DRAMsizes. If dissimilar SCPs are installed in the sameswitch board, the controlling SCP instructs thestandby SCP not to take over the switch if thecontrolling SCP fails. The standby SCP does noteven take over the switch when the controllingSCP is removed. Instead, the standby SCP withfailover disabled displays the string *DSABLE*on the front panel LED. See the release notes thatcame with your SCP for more information.

NOTEFor proper synchronization of informationbetween SCPs, ensure that the amount of freespace on both SCPs is roughly equal beforeperforming these commands.

CAUTION When the FLASH is synchronized, all files thatare not present on the controlling SCPs FLASHare immediately deleted from the standby SCP. Ifthere is not enough free space on the standbySCP, the controlling SCP deletes old files fromthe standby SCP. This may include older copiesof the OS, or even the current copy if the OS itselfis being synchronized. These files are removedeven if autoremove is disabled. However, ifthere is still not enough free space on the FLASH

switch is running in dual mode, a reboot request on the controlling SCP (i.e., after apgrade) will not cause the standby SCP to take control of the switch. Instead, the SCP will send a pause signal to the standby SCP. This pause request will force the

CP to disregard the absence of the controlling SCP for two minutes. Once the SCP comes back up, both SCPs will assume normal, dual mode operation.

1.2.3 Ethernet ConnectionWhen two SCPs are installed in an ASX-200BX, Ethernet connectivity is only available if theEthernet port on each SCP is physically connected to the network. If dual SCP mode is utilizedon an ASX-1000 or an ASX-1200, the Ethernet connection can be made using the individualSCPs or the Ethernet port on the ASX-1000s or the ASX-1200s Common Equipment Card(CEC). For more information about the CEC, see Section 1.2.8.

If the SCP is accessed via ATM, the Ethernet connection is not necessary.ltiservice Broadband Switch Installation and Maintenance Manual 1 - 17

NOTEIf two SCPs are installed in a switch board, eachSCP must have its own entry in the bootptab file(used for network booting) and a unique IPaddress. Using only one entry (i.e., the same IPaddress) causes unpredictable Ethernet ARPbehavior (see Section 4.6 in Chapter 4 for moreinformation).

NOTEAlthough it is possible to forward IP packetsover the Ethernet connection on the SCP, it ishighly recommended that you use IP forwardingon the SCP only for ATM network management,and not for routing heavy amounts of IP traffic.

lowing procedure to install a network module:

Insert the network module by sliding it into the card guides.

Push firmly to seat the network module so that the faceplate is flush with theswitch.

Tighten the captive fasteners with a straight screwdriver.

Port Numberingdual ports on a network module are numbered according to the Board-Networkrt (BNP) notation.

Board Refers to the number of the switch board thatcontains the port being numbered. Board is always 1in an ASX-200BX, since these switches each containonly one switch board. Board can be 1, 2, 3, or 4 inan ASX-1000 or an ASX-1200, depending on thenumber of the physical switch board that containsthe port being numbered.

Network Module Refers to the slot (A, B, C, or D) in the switch boardthat contains the port being numbered.

Port Refers to the physical port (1 - 8) being numbered onthe individual network module.

le, according to this notation, the fourth port on a network module in slot B ofrd #2 is port 2B4.

1.2.5 Power Supply ModulesThe ASX-200BX, the ASX-1000, and the ASX-1200 each come with two removable AC or DCpower supply modules. In the event of a single power supply failure, the power supplyindicator LED(s) on the front panel of the supplies will indicate the failed supply. The failedpower supply can be removed and replaced while the other supply continues to providepower to the switch. In this manner, a single power supply failure will not cause the switch tostop functioning.
