Slots C and D are for the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply, which powers
all the hardware components of the chassis, except for the PoE feature on
the ports of the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Card. The chassis must have at
least one AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply. One module can power a fully
populated chassis. However, you may install two power supplies to add
power redundancy to the chassis.
There are AC and DC versions of the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply.
Refer to Figure 4 on page 21 for illustrations of the modules.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply is not compatible with the
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC or AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply. You
should not operate the chassis with both AC and DC power
supplies. You may, however, operate the chassis for a short period
of time with AC and DC power supplies if you are converting it from
one type of power supply to another, such as from AC to DC. This
allows you to transition the chassis without having to power it off.

10/100/1000Base-T Twisted Pair Ports
This section applies to the 10/100/1000Base-T ports on the ATSBx81GT24, AT-SBx81GT40, and AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Ethernet Line
Cards.
Connector Type The ports on the AT-SBx81GT24 and AT-SBx81GP24 Line Cards have 8-
pin RJ-45 connectors. The ports on the AT-SBx81GT40 Line Card have 8pin RJ point 5 connectors. The ports use four pins at 10 or 100 Mbps and
all eight pins at 1000 Mbps. The pin assignments are listed in “Port
Pinouts” on page 239.
Speed The ports can operate at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. The speeds can be set
automatically through Auto-Negotiation, the default setting, or manually
with the AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
Twisted-pair ports have to be set to Auto-Negotiation to operate at
1000 Mbps. You cannot manually set twisted-pair ports to 1000
Mbps.
Duplex Mode The twisted-pair ports on the AT-SBx81GT24 and AT-SBx81GP24 Line
Cards can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at 10 or 100 Mbps.
Ports operating at 1000 Mbps can only operate in full-duplex mode. The
twisted-pair ports are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and Auto-Negotiate the
duplex mode setting.
You can disable Auto-Negotiation on the ports and set the duplex mode
manually.
Switch ports that are connected to 10 or 100 Mbps end nodes that
are not using Auto-Negotiation should not use Auto-Negotiation to
set their speed and duplex mode settings, because duplex mode
mismatches might occur. You should disable Auto-Negotiation and
set the speed and duplex mode settings manually with the
AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
The ports on the AT-SBx81GT40 Line Card only support full-duplex
mode.

SwitchBlade x8106 Chassis Switch Installation Guide
Power over Ethernet on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card
This section applies to the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Card. The twistedpair ports on the line card support Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a
mechanism by which the ports supply power to network devices over the
twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic. This feature can simplify
network installation and maintenance because it allows you to use the
switch as a central power source for other network devices.
Devices that receive their power over Ethernet cables are called powered
devices (PD), examples of which include wireless access points, IP
telephones, web cams, and even other Ethernet switches. A PD
connected to a port on the switch receives both network traffic and power
over the same twisted-pair cable.
The AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card automatically determines whether a device
connected to a port is a PD. A PD has a signature resistor or signature
capacitor that the line card can detect over the Ethernet cabling. If the
resistor or capacitor is present, the switch assumes that the device is a
PD.
Powered Device
Classes
A port connected to a network node that is not a PD (that is, a device that
receives its power from another power source) functions as a regular
Ethernet port, without PoE. The PoE feature remains enabled on the port
but no power is delivered to the device.
The IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards define five powered device
classes. The classes are defined by the power requirements of the
powered devices. The classes are shown in Table 3. The AT-SBx81GP24
Line Card supports all five classes.

Power Budgeting The power for PoE on the ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card is
provided by the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply. It can provide up to
1200 watts of power for powered devices. You may install up to two power
supplies in the chassis for a total of 2400 watts for the powered devices.

depends on the number of AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies in the
chassis and the power requirements of the powered devices in your
network. Table 4 lists the maximum number of powered devices by class,
for one or two power supplies. The numbers assume that the powered
devices require the maximum amount of power for their classes.
The maximum number of PoE ports in the SwitchBlade x8106
Switch is 96 ports.

PoE Wiring The IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards define two methods for
delivering power to powered devices over the four pairs of strands that
comprise a standard Ethernet twisted-pair cable. The methods are called
Alternatives A and B. In Alternative A, power is supplied to powered
devices on strands 1, 2, 3, and 6, which are the same strands that carry
the 10/100Base-TX network traffic. In Alternative B, power is delivered on
strands 4, 5, 7, and 8. These are the unused strands.
1000BASE-T cables carry the network traffic on all eight strands of
the Ethernet cable.
The PoE implementation on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card is Alternative
A. Power is transmitted on strands 1, 2, 3, and 6.
36
SwitchBlade x8106 Chassis Switch Installation Guide
PDs that comply with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards typically
support both power delivery methods. However, some legacy PDs support
only one power delivery method. Legacy devices that only support
Alternative B will not work with the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Card. Legacy
devices are nodes manufactured before the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at
standards were completed and, consequently, may not adhere to the
standards.

Chapter 1: Overview
AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card
The AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card has three primary
functions:
Chassis Management — You may use the controller card to
monitor and configure the Ethernet line cards in the chassis. You
may manage the chassis locally through the Console RS-232 port
on the controller card or remotely using Telnet, Secure Shell
(SSH), and SNMP clients from workstations on your network.
AlliedWare Plus Operating System and Configuration Settings —
The controller card stores the AlliedWare Plus Operating System
and configuration settings for the Ethernet line cards in the chassis
and downloads the files to the cards when the chassis is powered
on or new line cards are installed. The settings are stored in a
database file in nonvolatile memory so that they are retained even
when the chassis is reset or powered off.
Backplane Controller — The controller card manages the
backplane of the chassis, which the line cards use to forward traffic
to each other.
A single controller card provides 40 Gbps of backplane bandwidth
per line card slot. You may install a second controller card for 80
Gbps of backplane bandwidth per line card slot.
Here are the guidelines to the controller card:
The chassis must have at least one controller card. The line cards
do not forward traffic if the chassis does not have a controller card.
The chassis may have either one or two controller cards.
Two controller cards are recommended for redundancy and to
increase the backplane bandwidth from 40 to 80 Gbps per line
card slot.
Controller cards must be installed in slots 5 and 6 in the chassis.
Here are other features of the AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card:
LEDs for monitoring the status of the Ethernet line cards.
Power-saving eco-friendly button for turning the port and status
LEDs on or off on the line cards and controller cards.
Reset switch for resetting the chassis.
USB port for data storage and retrieval.
44
Console RS-232 for local management.
NET MGMT port for remote Telnet, SSH, and SNMP management.
Hot swappable.
SwitchBlade x8106 Chassis Switch Installation Guide
The components on the card are identified in Figure 22.
Figure 22. AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card
Where two controller cards are installed in the chassis, they provide an
active/active architecture. The packet processors on both controller cards
are fully utilized to double the available backplane bandwidth from 40 to 80
Gbps per Ethernet line card.
One of the controller cards becomes the active master. In normal
operations, this is the controller card in slot 5. The active master manages
the system and processes CPU bound network traffic. The standby master
runs all network protocol modules and is kept in sync with the active
master card, so as to be available in hot-standby for near instantaneous
fail over, if required.
If the active master card is hot-swapped out, the standby master becomes
the active master. It takes over all control functions almost
instantaneously. Testing has shown no noticeable disruption to streaming
video.
You can determine the state of the controller card by viewing the CFC LED
on the card. The controller card is the active master when the LED is solid
green and the standby master when the LED is solid amber.
SYS Status LEDs The SYS (System) Status LEDs on the controller fabric card display
general status information about the controller card, power supplies, and
fan module. The LEDs are defined in Table 10 on page 46.

SBx STATUS
LEDs
The SBx LINECARD STATUS LEDs display general status information
about the Ethernet line cards and controller cards. There are twelve LEDs,
numbered 1 to 12. Only LEDs 1 to 6 are used. They correspond to slots 1
to 6 in the AT-SBx8106 Chassis. LEDs 7 to 12 are not used. If the chassis
has two controller cards, the SBx Status LEDs are active on both cards.
The LEDs are defined in Table 11.
Table 11. SBx LINECARD STATUS LEDs

Solid Green Indicates that the Ethernet line or controller
card is operating normally.
1 to 12
Flashing Green Indicates that the card is booting up,
running in test mode, or loading its
configuration settings.
Solid Amber Indicates that the card is in an off-line state.
Possible causes are:
An Ethernet line card that displays this
LED state may have encountered a
problem initializing the management
software.
An Ethernet line card that displays this
LED state might not be able to boot up
because the controller card does not
have the appropriate load file and
needs to be updated to the most recent
release of the management software.
A standby master controller card that
displays this LED state may have been
disabled by the active master controller
card because the cards have
incompatible versions of the
management software and were unable
to resolve the problem, possibly
because of insufficient free flash
memory.
You may remove a line or controller card
from the chassis when it is in this state.
Flashing Amber Indicates that the card is reporting a fault
condition. Use the management commands
to determine the specific problem.

The slot is empty.
The LED is not used.
The LEDs are turned off. To turn on the
LEDs, use the eco-friendly button.
eco-friendly
Button
You may use the eco-friendly button on the controller card to turn the
LEDs on or off. You may turn off the LEDs when you are not using them to
monitor the control and Ethernet line cards, to conserve electricity. When
the LEDs are off, the overall power consumption of the chassis is slightly
reduced, approximately 3 watts in a system with 240 active copper ports.
The button controls all of the port LEDs on the Ethernet line cards and
controller card, except for the CFC LED, which is always on, and the L/A
LED for the NET MGMT port. The button does not control the LEDs on the
fan module and power supply systems.
Reset Button You may use the Reset button to reset the controller card or all the cards
in the chassis. The action depends on the number of AT-SBx81CFC400
Controller Cards in the chassis and, if the chassis has two controller cards,
whether you reset the active or standby master controller card.
The possible actions are described here:
48
If the chassis has only one controller card, pressing the Reset
button resets the controller card and all of the Ethernet line cards in
the chassis. You may perform this function if the chassis and line
cards are experiencing a problem.
The control and Ethernet line cards do not forward network traffic for
a minimum of two minutes while they initialize their AlliedWare Plus
Operating System and configure their parameter settings. Some
network traffic may be lost.
If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the active master controller card resets the controller card, but
not the Ethernet line cards. The standby master controller card
immediately becomes the new active master card and the Ethernet
line cards continue to forward traffic. The reset controller card is
unavailable for about two minutes while it initializes its AlliedWare
Plus Operating System, after which it becomes the standby master
controller card in the chassis.
SwitchBlade x8106 Chassis Switch Installation Guide
Note
Note
Note
The available bandwidth across the backplane of the chassis is
reduced from 80 Gbps per slot to 40 Gbps per slot for about one
minute while the reset controller card initializes its AlliedWare Plus
Operating System. This may reduce network performance.
If the chassis has two controller cards, pressing the Reset button
on the standby master controller card resets that card, but not the
active master controller card or the Ethernet line cards.
The available bandwidth across the backplane of the chassis is
reduced from 80 to 40 Gbps per line card slot for about one minute
while the standby master controller card initializes its AlliedWare
Plus Operating System and synchronizes its database with the
active master controller card. This may reduce network
performance.
NET MGMT
Port
To reset individual line cards in the chassis, use the REBOOT or
RELOAD command in the AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
The NET MGMT port is a standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet port. You
may use it as an alternative to the ports on the Ethernet line cards for
support of the features in Table 12 on page 50. You may connect the port
to a router, switch, media converter, workstation, server, or other network
device.
The controller card uses the port as a standard network link for data
reception and transmission. It is used only by the controller card and
cannot be accessed from the line cards in the unit.
When the controller card performs a feature in Table 12, it establishes a
data link with the corresponding network device using either the NET
MGMT port or a port on an Ethernet line card. For example, when you
manage the switch remotely using its Telnet server, the data link between
the Telnet client on your workstation and the server on the controller card
is established either on the NET MGMT port or a port on an Ethernet line
card, wherever the Telnet client is located.
You are not required to use the NET MGMT to use the features in
Table 12 on page 50. The controller card can communicate with network
devices, such as Telnet clients, FTP server, and SNTP server, over the
ports on the Ethernet line cards.
For instructions on how to configure the NET MGMT port, refer to the
Software Reference for SwitchBlade x8100 Series Switches.

SwitchBlade x8106 Chassis Switch Installation Guide
The NET MGMT port has a standard RJ-45 8-pin connector and operates
at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode. The cable
requirements for this port are the same as the ports on the ATSBx81GT24 Line Card, listed in Table 1 on page 33. For the port pinouts,
refer to “Port Pinouts” on page 239.
The default setting for the port is Auto-Negotiation, which sets the speed
and duplex mode automatically. You may disable Auto-Negotiation and
configure the port manually. The port is referred to as ETH0 in the
AlliedWare Plus Operating System.
The wiring configuration of the NET MGMT port is set automatically with
automatic MDIX detection. You may disable automatic MDIX detection
and set the wiring configuration manually.

Local management is referred to as out-of-band management because it
is not conducted over a network. Consequently, the AT-SBx81CFC400
Controller Fabric Card does not need an Internet Protocol (IP) address for
this type of management.
Your initial management session with the switch must be a local
management session. For instructions on how to start a local management
session, refer to “Using Local Management to Verify the Chassis” on
page 184 or the Software Reference for SwitchBlade x8100 Series
Switches.
51
Chapter 1: Overview
USB Port The USB port supports a flash drive. You may use a flash drive to perform
the following management functions:
Store backup copies of the master configuration and database files
on the AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card.
Transfer master configuration files between controller cards in
different chassis that are to have similar configurations.
Transfer application load files between controller cards.
Store streaming log files.
Boot the AlliedWare Plus Operating System and master
configuration file from flash drive.
The port is compatible with USB v1.0 and v2.0 flash drives. Operating the
controller card with a flash drive is optional.

AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply, shown in Figure 23, is the
power supply unit for the chassis. It supplies power to all the hardware
components in the chassis, except for the PoE feature on the ports on the
AT-SBx81GP24 Line Cards. The PoE feature is powered by the ATSBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply.
SwitchBlade x8106 Chassis Switch Installation Guide
Figure 23. AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply
A single AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply can support a fully populated
chassis, with any combination of Ethernet line cards. The chassis can
have two AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supplies for power redundancy.
Power supply modules are not included with the chassis and must be
purchased separately.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supplies are installed in the two right hand
slots, labeled C and D, at the top of the front of the chassis. If you are
installing just one power supply, you may install it in either slot. The
locations of the slots are shown in Figure 6 on page 23.
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 Power Supply is hot swappable. If a chassis has
two power supplies and one of them fails, you may replace the failed unit
without having to power off the chassis.

AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply
The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply, shown in Figure 24, provides the
PoE power for the ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Cards. You may
install either one or two PoE power supplies in the chassis.
The AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply provides 1200 watts of power for
PoE. You may install two power supplies in the chassis for a total of 2,400
watts of power.
The total number of powered devices the chassis can support depends on
the number of AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supplies in the chassis and the
power requirements of the devices. For instance, a chassis can support 40
ports of Class 4, PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) powered devices with one power
supply or 80 ports with two power supplies. For further information, refer to
Table 4 on page 36.

AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply
Note
The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply, shown in Figure 25, is a DC
version of the power supply unit for the chassis and may be used in place
of the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply in network environments that
have DC wiring. Like the AC power supply, the module supplies power to
all the hardware components in the chassis, except for the PoE feature on
the ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Cards.

The AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply is not compatible with the
AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC and AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supplies.
Consequently, the chassis should not contain both AC and DC
power supplies. You may, however, operate the chassis for a short
period of time with AC and DC power supplies if you are converting it
from one type of power supply to another, such as from AC to DC.
This allows you to transition the chassis without having to power it
off.
57
Chapter 1: Overview
Note
Given that the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 DC Power Supply is not
compatible with the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 AC Power Supply, a chassis
that contains one or more AT-SBx81GP24 PoE Line Cards should
use the AT-SBxPWRSYS1 AC Power Supply, and not the DC
module, as the system power unit.
