1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

This document is valid as of Dragon PTN Release 4.0DR.

This document describes the 9-L3A-L (=main) and 9-L3EA-L (=extension) interface modules
which provide Layer2/Layer3 functionality. If you want more front ports than available on
the main module, use the extension module in addition to double the front ports.

In this manual, following terminology is often used for a better readability:

‘main L3 IFM’ = 9-L3A-L IFM;
‘extension L3 IFM’ = 9-L3EA-L IFM;
‘L3 IFM’ could either mean:

‘main L3 IFM’ only = 8+1 front ports;
The ‘main L3 IFM’ combined with an ‘extension L3 IFM’ = 16+2 front ports;

Both IFMs (=interface module) have 9 optical LAN (=Local Area Network) ports on the front
panel: 8*1Gbps SFP ports and 1*10Gbps XFP port. Each individual port can be configured via
HiProvision (=Dragon PTN Management System). 9-L3A-L refers to ‘9 ports – Layer3, Variant
A IFM – LAN’ whereas the ‘E’ in 9-L3EA-L refers to ‘Extension’.

So using the main and extension L3 IFM together in one node, and plugged in in some
specific interface slots, provides a total of 16*1Gbps SFP ports and 2*10Gbps XFP ports.

Both IFMs are a dual slot [n, n+1] IFM which means that it is 2 slots wide. Only the left-hand
side of the IFM in the left-hand slot will be connected to the node backplane.

Depending on the used slot, the L3 IFM can have up to maximum 5 back end ports to the
Central Switching Module (= CSM, see Ref. [4] in Table 2): 1 to 4 (1Gbps) and 1 (10Gbps). The
maximum bandwidth availability is 14 Gbps (=4+10) and can be reached when the main L3
IFM is plugged into IFM slots [S3-S4] of the XT-2209-A node.

The L3 IFM bandwidth availability (and back end ports) on the Dragon PTN backbone
depends on the used node type and the used slots. Verify the 'Dragon PTN Bandwidth
Overview' manual (Ref. [100] in Table 2) to see in which node and IFM slot this IFM can be
used.

NOTE: Using the extension L3 IFM does not double the amount of back end ports.

Table 1 Differences Main L3 IFM <-> Extension L3 IFM

Main L3 IFM

Extension L3 IFM

Usabililty

Can be used in all nodes according
to Ref. [100] in Table 2.

Can be used in the XT-2209-A node in slot S1(S2).

Dependency

Can be used without the the

extension L3 IFM.

Can only be used together with the main L3 IFM, and this

main L3 IFM must be plugged into slot S3(S4) directly next to

the extension L3 IFM.

Hidden Reset Button

Available

Not available, using the reset button on the main L3 IFM also
resets the extension L3 IFM.

LEDs

LED operation according §2.1.1

Normal LED operation is the same as the main L3 IFM. Boot

LED operation is different. Plugging in the extension L3 IFM
just flashes the LEDs for a few seconds. Next, the LEDs will be
dark for approximately 3 minutes, the time needed for the

main L3 IFM to configure its extension L3 IFM.

Back end ports towards

backplane

Available

Not Available. The main and extension L3 IFM together share

the same back end ports (towards the backplane) of the

main L3 IFM.

Fans/Cooling

Yes

No

Main supported features:

Gigabit Ethernet Ports:

8 x SFP (Fiber, optical): 1000BASE-X;
1 x XFP (Fiber, optical): 10GE;

(main L3 IFM) Cooling: on-board local active cooling via 3 fans mounted on heatsink;

QoS;
MSTP (=Multiple Spanning Tree);

Layer3

VRF (=Virtual Router Forwarding);
