AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card

The AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card provides two functions: the central switching fabric between all the Ethernet line cards and the central controller for management and control of the chassis.
One AT-SBx31CFC supports up to 200 Gbps of bidirectional Ethernet traffic. When two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards are installed, the switching load of the network traffic is shared between the switching fabric circuitry on each of the line cards resulting in a potential system throughput of 400 Gbps.
The Switchblade x3112 Management Software resides on the AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card which monitors and configures the line cards via the controller circuitry. Either one or two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards may be installed yielding a non-redundant or redundant controller configuration respectively.
20
Figure 4 AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card
The AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card can only be installed in slots 4 or 5 of the AT-SBx3112 Chassis.
The CLI mnemonic for the AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card in the Switchblade x3112 Management Software is “CFC200”.

The eco-friendly button on the AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card front panel is used to turn off the LEDs on the line cards.This reduces the overall power consumption of the switch. It is displayed in may want to turn off the LEDs when you are not using them to monitor the port status on the line card front panels.
With the LEDs are turned off, all of the LEDs in the chassis are affected except for the M/S LED on the active AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card which is always illuminated.
The eco-friendly button is also used for a lamp test, which is initiated each time the button is pushed. The lamp test consists of LEDs flashing in alternating colors for 3 seconds.

circuitry on the AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card.This button is displayed in Switchblade x3112 Management Software is not responsive to CLI commands or status requests. Depending on your configuration, you may initiate a short interruption in the flow of network traffic through the switch when you press the button.
If you press the RESET button with only one AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card installed, which is the active controller, all of the Ethernet line cards are reset by the AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card as part of its boot up process.
When the RESET button is pressed with only one AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card installed, the Ethernet network traffic flow through the switch is interrupted for up to two minutes while the AT­SBx31CFC and Ethernet line cards reboot.
If you press the RESET button with two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards installed, the role of the active controller is “swapped” with the inactive controller. This means that the inactive controller becomes the

active controller and the active controller becomes the inactive or standby controller. During this process, the switch management function is swapped to the new active controller. In this case, the inactive AT­SBx31CFC becomes active immediately, and consequently, the Ethernet line cards are not affected or reset.
With two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards installed, the switching fabric circuitry on each line card is shared. When you press the RESET button, the Ethernet network traffic flow through the switch is limited to 200 Gbps for up to two minutes. This is the time required for the inactive AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card to reboot and for its switching fabric circuitry to become available again for switching network traffic.
The RESET switch is specifically provided for resetting the AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card. If you want to swap the controller function between the active and standby AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards, Allied Telesis recommends that you use the SWAP commands provided in the Switchblade x3112 Management Software.

Network
Management
Port
The Network Management (NET MGMT) port is a standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet port. See
Figure 8. This port provides for remote management of the SwitchBlade x3112 Switch when you connect it to a device on your network. If it is available in the chassis, you can connect it directly to one of the copper ports on an Ethernet line card.

Figure 8 NET MGMT and CONSOLE Ports
The NET MGMT port is a standard RJ-45 8-pin connector and can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode. The cable requirements for this port can be found in the table

for the 10/100/1000Base-T Management Port” on page 104. For the port

pinouts, refer to “Connectors and Port Pinouts” on page 102. The default setting for the Management port is Auto-Negotiation with Auto MDI/MDI-X. At the default setting, the port, which is IEEE 802.3u compliant, sets its speed and duplex mode automatically with Auto­Negotiation. You can disable Auto-Negotiation and set the speed and duplex mode manually.
The wiring configuration of the port is set automatically with Auto MDI/MDI-X to MDI or MDI-X, depending on the wiring configuration of the end node. This allows you to use a straight-through twisted-pair cable regardless of the wiring configuration of the port on the network device. The Auto MDI/MDI-X feature is only available when the port is using Auto-Negotiation. If the Auto-Negotiation feature is disabled with the Switchblade x3112 Management Software, the port defaults to the MDI-X setting.

Connector Type The ports are 8-pin RJ-45 connectors that use four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps
and all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. For the pin assignments, refer to Twisted Pair Port Pinouts” on page 78.
“RJ-45
Speed A port’s speed can be 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speed can be set
automatically through Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, or manually with the Switchblade x3112 Management Software.
To operate at 1000 Mbps, a twisted-pair port is set to Auto ­Negotiation. You cannot set the speed of a twisted-pair port to 1000 Mbps manually.
Duplex Mode A twisted-pair port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode. (Full-
duplex mode is the only mode available when a port is operating at 1000 Mbps.) The twisted-pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and Auto­Negotiate the duplex mode setting.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on one or all of the switch ports so that you can set the duplex mode manually through the Switchblade x3112 Management Software.
Maximum
Distance
In order for a switch port to successfully Auto-Negotiate its duplex mode with a 10 or 100 Mbps end node, the end node should also be configured for Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex mode mismatch can occur. A switch port using Auto-Negotiation defaults to half-duplex if it detects that the end node is not using Auto­Negotiation. This results in a mismatch if the end node is operating at a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
To avoid this problem when connecting an end node with a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex to a switch port, use the Switchblade x3112 Management Software to disable Auto-Negotiation on the port and set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
