19

C9010 network director

• Each half-width line card has 120Gbps connection to each RPM (240Gbps for full-width line cards)

• Each line card performs local switching (Leaf)

• Each RPM performs inter-line card switching (Spine)

• Each RPM has 3 CPUs

– Control Processor (CP)

– Route Processor (RP)

– Line Processor (LP)

• C9010 currently supports 40 C1048P (2,000 Virtual Ports). 4,000 Virtual Ports in a subsequent release

• Remaining ports can connect to any Ethernet device/switch and provide standard switching/routing functionality

• C9010 can be used without C1048P

C1048P rapid access node – detailed

C1048P rapid access node

• 1RU

• 48 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports

• Two SFP+ ports

• Two fixed 21Gbps stacking ports (stackable up to 8 units)

• Internal 1000W power supply

• Utilizes MPS1000 for power redundancy

• Uses Broadcom Helix4 switching silicon

• Requires C9010 to operate

• Provides no local switching (switching/routing is provided by the C9010)

21

Configuration

Step 1 – Configure the C9010

Step 2 – Pre-provision ports on the line cards that will connect to rapid access nodes

• PE ID

• PE Type

• Any other config (Qos, etc.)

Step 3 – Power up C1048P

• Boots from FLASH

• Elects its role in stack

• Forms/joins stack

Step 4 – Connect C1048P uplink(s) to pre-provisioned ports on the C9010

22

Plug & play

Step 5 – C1048P sends PE TLV on the uplink(s)

Step 6 – Once C9010 detects PE TLV, it advertises PE provision information for C1048P to accept

Step 7 – C1048P configures itself and becomes operational

Step 8 – C1048P performs no local switching, but provides:

• PoE+ power

• QoS

• Loop detection
