Chapter 1 Router Overview

1.1 Introduction

The H3C SR6608 and SR6604 routers are high-performance service routers

developed by Hangzhou H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as H3C)

for enterprise networks and carrier-edge access. The SR6608 and SR6604 adopt two

route processing engine-X1s (RPE-X1s), two power modules, and a distributed

modular architecture. Abundant optional modules are available so that the two service

routers can have a powerful processing capability and support flexible configuration to

fully meet the requirements of enterprise networks and carrier networks. The SR6608

and SR6604 can work at the core layer of small- and medium-sized enterprise

networks or at the distribution layer and core layer of large-sized enterprise networks.

They can also work at the access layer of carrier networks or large enterprise networks.

With the high-performance microprocessor technology, advanced hardware

architecture and H3C proprietary Comware V5 platform, the SR6608 and SR6604

provide high service processing capabilities, good service scalability, and high reliability.

In addition, the SR6608 and SR6604 can work together with other H3C network

devices to provide full network solutions for carriers and departments in electric power,

finance, tax, public security, railway and education, as well as for medium- and

large-sized enterprises. The full compliance with national and international standards

ensures the interoperability with the products of other manufacturers at different layers.

The SR6608 and SR6604 support high-speed interface modules (HIMs) and provide a

bus processing capability of up to 10 Gbps, which can meet the high-speed

performance requirements of users. In addition, the SR6608 and SR6604 are

compatible with some multi-functional interface modules (MIMs) of the H3C AR/MSR

series routers to guarantee the smooth upgrade from narrowband access to broadband

access, improve the competitiveness, and protect existing investments. For easy

description, the term “device” is used throughout this document to refer to any SR6608

or SR6604 router if not otherwise specified.

a higher data transfer rate than common parallel interfaces and serial interfaces.

The device fully supports USB 1.1. The USB interfaces of the device allow for

convenient storage.

(1) USB interface 0 (2) USB interface 1
(3) USB interface 1 LED

Figure 1-15 USB interfaces

1) USB 0

USB interface 0 on the device is a USB 1.1-compliant type-A interface. USB interface 0

can be connected to an external USB storage device to expand the router’s storage

space for storing files and logs and facilitate file transfer.

Insert and remove a USB storage device correctly. Otherwise, the software, hardware

and file system of the USB storage device may get damaged.

 After you insert a USB storage device and information is displayed on the terminal,

prompting the USB storage device is inserted into the device, the LED on the USB

storage device will be on.

 When the LED on the USB storage device is blinking, do not remove the USB

 Note:

The media dependent interface (MDI) standard is typically used on the Ethernet

interface of network adapters. The media dependent interface crossover (MDI-X)

standard is typically used on hubs or LAN switches.

X. RESET button

To reset the current RPE-X1, you can press the RESET button.

 If you press the RESET button when only one RPE-X1 is equipped, the whole

system will be reset.

 If you want to perform an active-standby switchover when two RPE-X1s are

equipped, press the RESET button on the active RPE-X1. The system will

automatically switch the services to the standby RPE-X1, without interrupting the

ongoing services.

 If you press the RESET button on the standby RPE-X1 when two RPE-X1s are

equipped, the standby RPE-X1 will be reset but the system operation will not be

affected.

The RUN LED goes off when the RPE-X1 is reset, flashes fast (at 8 Hz) when

BootWare is running, and flashes slowly (at 1 Hz) after the system is booted and

operates normally.

 Note:

 If you perform no save operation before resetting the router, the current system

configuration will not be saved after the router is reset.

 Never press the RESET button when the RUN LED is blinking fast or when the

router is accessing the CF card or a USB storage device. Otherwise, the file system

of the router may be damaged.

XI. Clock

The device is designed with an internal clock module that provides the system time.

You can set the system time through a command line interface.

1-26

H3C SR6608/6604 Routers Installation Manual Chapter 1 Router Overview

When a power failure occurs to the router, the clock module can continue working to

ensure the system time is correct next time the router boots. With the router powered

off, the clock module can work for at least 10 years.

When the router is powered on, note the following points:

 Never replace the clock module battery.

 The system time gets lost once the clock module battery is removed, and you

need to set the system time again through the command line interface. However,

the system time will still get lost after the router is powered off.

 Note:

 Use the clock datetime time date command in user view to set the system date and

time.

 For the description of the clock datetime command, refer to H3C SR66 Series

Routers User Manual.

XII. Switchover between the active and standby RPE-X1s

The device can be equipped with two RPE-X1s. One is the active RPE-X1 and

operates in the master mode, and the other is the standby RPE-X1 and operates in the

slave mode. The configuration of the standby RPE-X1 is synchronized with that of the

active RPE-X1. Thus, in the event that the active RPE-X1 fails, the standby RPE-X1

immediately becomes the active RPE-X1 to ensure that the device works properly and

its configuration is synchronized with that of the original active RPE-X1. This process is

known as active-standby switchover.

An active-standby switchover occurs when:

 The active RPE-X1 fails.

 The active RPE-X1 is removed.

 A remote switchover is performed through SNMP.

 A manual switchover is performed.

The active-standby switchover process is as follows:

1) The standby RPE-X1 automatically connects and controls the system bus while

the original active RPE-X1 disconnects the system bus.

2) The standby RPE-X1 goes active whereas the original active RPE-X1

automatically reboots and goes standby.

You can use the slave switchover command to perform a manual active-standby
switchover. For details about the slave switchover command, refer to H3C SR66
Series Routers User Manual.

1-27

H3C SR6608/6604 Routers Installation Manual Chapter 1 Router Overview

Caution:

 The standby RPE-X1 does not support any system configuration commands.

Therefore, you cannot execute any commands on the standby RPE-X1 unless it

goes active.

 When the standby RPE-X1 is started, the active RPE-X1 will initially synchronize the

standby RPE-X1. If you press Enter on the terminal during synchronization, the

system will prompt on the active and standby RPE-X1s that no command can be

entered. After the initial synchronization is completed, you can execute the

configuration commands on the active RPE-X1, and the standby RPE-X1 keeps

synchronized with the active RPE-X1 in real time way (the configuration on the

active RPE-X1 is copied to the standby RPE-X1).

 Do not use centralized device–specific software to update the router that supports

the active-standby switchover feature. Otherwise, the router may become

unavailable.

1.4.2 FIP-100/FIP-200

I. Ethernet interface introduction

The FIP-100/FIP-200 of the device provides two Combo interfaces, each of which

consists of an electrical Ethernet interface and an optical Ethernet interface. The

default operating interface is the electrical Ethernet interface.

III. RJ-45 connector

The 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T electrical Ethernet interfaces of the device

use RJ-45 connectors and support MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing. Category-5 twisted pair

cables are used for RJ-45 connectors.

Figure 1-17 shows the appearance of an RJ45

connector.

Figure 1-17 RJ-45 connector

IV. LC connector and SC connector

Optical fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in optical fiber

communication system. Their application enables the removable connection between

optical channels, which makes the optical system debugging and maintenance more

convenient and the transit dispatching of the system more flexible.

Some optical fiber connector types are as follows:

 LC: square optical fiber connector of the push-pull snap-in type

 SC: standard optical fiber connector

 FC: round optical fiber connector with screw thread

 ST: round plug-in optical fiber connector

 MT-RJ: square transceiver optical fiber connector

 Note:

 Before using an optical fiber to connect a network device, verify that the optical fiber

connector matches the optical module.

 Before connecting a fiber, make sure that the received optical power at the local end

does not exceed the upper threshold of the optical receive power of the optical

module. Otherwise, the optical module may be damaged.

V. Cable connecting a 1000 Mbps electrical Ethernet interface

Usually, you can use a category-5 twisted pair cable to connect a 1000 Mbps electrical

Ethernet interface.

Figure 1-20 shows an Ethernet cable.

Figure 1-20 Ethernet cable

Ethernet cables fall into the following two categories:

 Standard cable: Also called straight-through cable. At both ends of a standard

cable, wires are crimped in the RJ-45 connectors in the same sequence. a

straight-through cable is used to connect a terminal (for example, PC or router) to

1-32

H3C SR6608/6604 Routers Installation Manual Chapter 1 Router Overview

a hub or LAN Switch. The cables delivered with the router are straight-through

cables.

 Crossover cable: At both ends of a crossover cable, wires are crimped in the

RJ-45 connectors in different sequences. A crossover cable is used to connect a

(for example, PC or router) to another terminal. You can make crossover cables by

yourself as needed.

Chapter 4 Preparing for Installation

4.1 Environment Requirements

The device is designed for indoor application. To ensure the normal operation and

prolong the service life, the installation site must meet the requirements mentioned

hereunder.

4.1.1 Temperature and Humidity Requirements

The temperature and humidity in the equipment room shall be maintained at an

appropriate level.

 A long-term high relative humidity will quite likely result in poor insulation

performance, electric leakage, mechanical property change, and corrosion.

 A long-term low relative humidity will result in looseness of fastening screws owing

to shrinkage of insulation washers, or electrostatic discharge (ESD), which may

damage the CMOS circuit on the router.

 A high temperature will speed up the aging of insulation materials, which greatly

lowers the router’s reliability and shortens the service life.

Table 4-1 lists the requirements on temperature and humidity for the device.

Table 4-1 Temperature and humidity requirements in the equipment room

Temperature Relative humidity

0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) 10% to 95% (noncondensing)

4.1.2 Cleanness Requirements

I. Concentration limit of dust

Dust is harmful to the safe operation of the router. Dust on the chassis may result in

static adsorption, which causes poor contact between metal connectors or joints. The

poor contact may not only shorten the service life of the router, but also bring about

communication failures. Especially under the condition of low indoor humidity, dust is

more likely to occur, causing static adsorption.

Table 4-2 lists the requirements on the dust concentration and diameters in the

equipment room.

exhaust vents for heat dissipation of the router chassis.

 A ventilation system is available at the installation site.

4.1.4 Electrostatic Discharge Prevention

I. Generation and damage of static electricity

In the communication network to which the router is connected, static induction mainly

results from:

 External electrical fields such as outdoor high voltage power line or lightning

 Indoor environment, flooring materials, and the router structure

Although many antistatic considerations have been given to the device, damage to

board circuits or even the router may still happen when the static electricity exceeds a

certain limit.

II. Measures against ESD

To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD),

 Make sure that the router and the floor are well grounded.

 Take dust-proof measures for the equipment room.

 Maintain the humidity and temperature at a proper level, respectively.

 Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap or antistatic clothing when touching a

circuit board.

 Place the removed memory module, CF card, or HIM/MIM on an antistatic

workbench, with the face upward, or put it into an antistatic bag.

 Touch only the edges, instead of electronic components when observing or

moving a removed memory module, CF card, or HIM/MIM.

III. Connection of the ESD-preventive wrist strap

Follow these steps to connect the ESD-preventive wrist strap:

1) Put on the ESD-preventive wrist strap, making sure that the strap makes good skin

contact.

2) Plug the ESD-preventive wrist strap connector into the ESD socket on the chassis.

3) Make sure that chassis is well grounded.

4-3

H3C SR6608/6604 Routers Installation Manual Chapter 4 Preparing for Installation

Caution:

For the sake of safety, check the resistance of the ESD-preventive wrist strap. The

resistance reading between human body and the ground should be in the range of 1 to

10 megohms.

An ESD-preventive wrist strap is grounded in the same way on both the SR6608 and

the SR6604. The following figure depicts how to use an ESD-preventive wrist strap and

grounded to the SR6608:
