Tab le 1- 1 Cuda 12000 Hardware Features

Feature Description

Total System Redundancy

Distributed Processing Power

The entire system is architected for full redundancy to provide a highly fault-tolerant solution that includes:

■ Dual-Power Sources: The system can be connected to

two -48 VDC power sources to ensure uninterrupted power availability.

■ MeshFlow

Fabric: Every application module is connected to every other application module via a high-speed serial mesh. This mesh supports a peak throughput capacity of 204.6 Gbps. (132 x 1.55 Gbps.), delivering IP packet routing with minimal latency and high availability to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) across your core IP network.

■ Dual Management modules: The Cuda 12000 supports

up to two Management modules to ensure uninterrupted system management.

■ Redundant Management Buses: The backplane consists

of a 100-Mbps management BUS with redundant channels, over which the Management modules and system application modules communicate.

Application modules consist of a network processor with dedicated Synchronous Burst SRAM. Unlike other systems that use a central system processor, processing power and memory scale with every application module that you install in the chassis.

HAPTER 1: CUDA 12000 OVERVIEW

Feature Description

CableOnceTM Network Connections

Hot-swappable Modules

Modules

The Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch chassis comprises 14 slots. Twelve of the slots are for application modules and two of the slots are for management modules, which control the operations of the chassis. The following is a list of the modules supported by the Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch:

The system supports a CableOnce design that allows you to cable directly to the appropriate connector fixed to the rear of the chassis, or slot backplate. Cabling directly to these stationary connectors, instead of to the modules themselves, allows module replacement without recabling. You remove a module and then insert a new one while the cables remain attached to the system. This blind-mate design also lets you pre-cable chassis slots to prepare them in advance for module installation at a later time.

All system modules can be replaced while the system is running without interruption to other interconnected networks. Both application modules and Management modules are hot-swappable.
