Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 pre-E, E, and M modules feature set

Each Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 pre-E, E, or M module consists of a Backplane Forwarding Module (BFM) with common application speciﬁc integrated circuits (ASIC) on each module. These ASICs provide a forwarding engine and local storage of Layer 2 to 4 forwarding tables. Each forwarding engine provides lookups, resolves addresses and sends packets through the switch fabric to a destination port without CPU intervention. The forwarding engine also ﬁlters packets against current prioritization policies and can set prioritization information in the internal packet header.

The BFM is also equipped with eight priority queues per port. You can use either of the following two prioritization schemes:

•

Strict priority

•

Weighted Round Robin (WRR)

Strict priority guarantees the highest priority. WRR gives priority based on a round robin algorithm. For more information about prioritization schemes see Network Design Guidelines (313197-E).

Output buffer memory consists of 8 MB of memory allocated to each Gigabit Ethernet port or shared among eight 10/100 ports.

Note that Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 does not support pre-E modules.

Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module feature set

Each Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module (Release 4.0 and later) consists of a Distributed Processing Module (DPM) as well as a Port Interface Module (PIM). The PIM consists of various Media Access Controls

(MAC) and Physical Layer Controls (PHY) as well as the physical interfaces for direct network connections. A single PIM interconnects with a single DPM to form a Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Module. Modules with DPMs are R modules.

Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules that use the BFM are pre-E, E, or M modules. These modules are described in "Metro Ethernet Routing

Switch 8600 pre-E, E, and M modules feature set" (page 21).

Each DPM contains either two or three lanes, depending on the module. Both the 8630GBR and the 8683XLR modules consist of three lanes. The 8648GTR module consists of two lanes. Each lane is also known as a Flexible Forwarding Engine (FFE). The FFE lane is the basis for the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R modules. The FFE lane consists of:

•

Two FlexibleRoute Switch Processors—ingress Route Switch Processor 2 (RSP2) and egress RSP2

• One egress packet handling ASIC–F2E

•

One ingress packet handling ASIC–F2I

"Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module packet ﬂow on ingress and egress" (page 22) shows the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module

packet ﬂow on ingress and egress.

Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module packet ﬂow on ingress and egress

The ingress RSP2 performs lookups, ﬁltering and classiﬁcation operations, and modiﬁes the IP and MAC headers within the body of the packet to reﬂect routing and switching decisions.

M mode conﬁguration requirements 23

The RSP2 determines the information the fabric needs to carry the packet to the correct egress point and determines the physical egress port. As part of the lookup process, the RSP2 may also determine and record the egress queue ID and pass it to the egress RSP2.

Encapsulation is the most signiﬁcant operation that the egress RSP2 performs. To specify the egress queue, the queuing and trafﬁc shaping functions use:

• encapsulation information from the egress RSP2

•

MAC and IP packet headers

•

Quality of Service (QoS) bits

The F2E egress ASIC supports the FFE QoS, including the functions of random early drop, queuing and selection, trafﬁc shaping, and communicating to other similar R modules. Similarly, the F2I ingress ASIC provides packet policing and marking.

Each DPM also consists of the following:

•

One Fast TAPmux (FTAP) interface to the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Switch Fabric Modules

•

One Feedback Output Queue Manager (FOQ) Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)

The FTAP ASIC connects each DPM to the CPU/Switch Fabric modules through the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 switching backplane.

The FOQ Management system collects information about the state of queues, packet storage elements, and the fabric. This information is available to the F2I at the point at which packets are segmented for entry to the fabric. When congestion exists, Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules with a BFM (pre-E, E, and M modules) use fabric feedback information only at this point to drop packets.

The FOQ mechanism also provides information about the state of each of the egress queues and on the fullness of the F2E reassembly function buffers and queues. The F2E reports this information to the FOQ Manager FPGA on each module. The constellation of these FOQ FPGAs (one per DPM) drives a shared backplane bus that each FPGA senses. Therefore, each R module has pertinent information about the state of all other R modules in the system.

M mode conﬁguration requirements

M mode supports the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 M module feature set. Full support of M mode requires the following conﬁguration conditions:

•

The chassis must include at least one 8691omSF CPU module.

Installation — Modules

NN46220-306 02.02 Standard

4.2 7 July 2008

24 Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules

•

All modules installed in the chassis must minimally support 128 000 table entries. M modules (8632TXM, 8648TXM, 8608GBM, 8608GTM, 8683POSM, 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, 8681XLR, and 8681XLW modules) support 128 000 table entries.

•

M mode must be enabled. If you enable M mode and one or more of the modules installed in the

chassis is an E module (32 000 table entries), the E modules become disabled. This protects the system forwarding tables from losing entries. For information about enabling or disabling M mode, see Managing Platform Operations (315545-E).

If your system has M modules, E modules, or pre-E modules, see Managing Platform Operations (315545-E) for information about how to conﬁgure the switch to boot in the desired mode.

R mode conﬁguration requirements

R mode supports the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module feature set. Full support of R mode requires the following conﬁguration conditions:

•

The system must include only R modules. You can have a system with a mix of R, M, E, or pre-E modules conﬁgured in R mode. However, the M, E, or pre-E modules are not enabled. For information about conﬁguring R modules in R mode, see Managing Platform Operations (315545-E).

•

The system must include at least one 8692omSF CPU module. R modules do not boot with the 8691omSF CPU module.

•

R modules require Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Release 4.0 or later.

•

R mode must be enabled. For information about enabling R mode, see Managing Platform Operations (315545-E).

If the system is currently in default mode or M mode with CPU/SF 1 as the master and CPU/SF 2 as the standby, and you enable R mode on CPU/SF 1, save the conﬁguration and reboot, CPU/SF 2 comes up as the master and CPU/SF 1 as the standby. If you then enable R mode on the new master (CPU/SF 2), the standby (CPU/SF 1) goes ofﬂine and remains ofﬂine.

For information about how to conﬁgure QoS, Filters, Policing, and Shaping on R modules, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Conﬁguration — QoS and Trafﬁc Filters (NN46220-508).

8691omSF module

The 8691omSF module ("8691omSF module" (page 63)) provides the core switching fabric for the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600, as well as a CPU subsystem and a real-time clock. The core switching fabric switches all trafﬁc through the routing switch modules. The CPU subsystem manages the routing switch fabric and the other I/O modules.

The 8691SF/256 (DS1404090) is functionally identical to the 8691SF except it has 256 MB of synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) installed. The 8691SF/256 is identiﬁed by the front panel model number label in the upper right corner as 8691SF/256.

You can use the 8691SF as a Metro Ethernet switch fabric with the appropriate memory upgrade. See Installing a CPU Memory Upgrade (314832-D) for instructions for upgrading CPU memory.

The 8691omSF module consists of a printed circuit board with status LEDs, a management port, a DCE/DTE switch for the console port, a console port, a modem port, a reset button, and a PC Card slot.

The CPU subsystem uses a PowerPC CPU and has 256 MB of SDRAM. The 8691omSF module contains 16 MB of onboard ﬂash memory used to store the image ﬁle, and 2 MB of boot memory (ROM).

The routing switch fabric uses 10 MB of shared, high-speed memory. This memory buffers trafﬁc destined for I/O modules. The switch logic allocates memory to the various switch priority queues according to trafﬁc usage and current switch conﬁguration.

In all 8000 series chassis other than the 8003 chassis, you can install a 8691omSF module in both slots 5 and 6 of the chassis to enable redundant operation. The redundant module in slot 6 can assume the processing duties of a failing primary 8691omSF module in slot 5.

When the 8691omSF module in slot 6 completes initialization, it relearns the routing and VLAN bridging information for the switch unless the HA-CPU ﬂag is enabled. If HA-CPU is enabled, the static routes and ARP entries for routing are synchronized to the redundant CPU, which results in no interruption of network services.

The two 8691omSF modules share switch fabric functions for the switch. If one 8691omSF module fails, the system reverts to operation with a single 8691omSF module.

Note that when the Metro ESM 8668 module is installed, the HA-CPU ﬂag is not supported.

Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using the Correct Software Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).

The 8692SF module is equivalent to the 8692omSF module. It can be used as Metro Ethernet switch fabric with the appropriate software. See Nortel

Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using the Correct Software Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).

The 8692omSF module uses a CPU similar to the PowerPC CPU of the 8691omSF. The 8692omSF CPU has 256 MB of synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) for forwarding tables, and 56 MB of onboard ﬂash memory for conﬁguration, image and log ﬁle storage.

The 8692omSF is capable of supporting an optional Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU daughter card. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU daughter card is a mezzanine daughter card consisting of dual 1 GHz PowerPC processors. Installing the daughter card on an 8692omSF module ofﬂoads processor intensive tasks from the 333 MHz processor located on the 8692omSF CPU motherboard. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU daughter card is required for Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) services. For installation instructions, see Appendix "Installing the Metro Ethernet

enhanced CPU daughter card" (page 135).

The ﬂash memory is divided into two volumes: Volume/0 has a capacity of 16 MB and Volume/1 has a capacity of 40 MB. You can use either volume to store multiple ﬁle types, however, the 8692omSF module can only use either Volume/0 or Volume/1. By default, the system can only use 16 MB on Volume/0. If you want to use 40 MB on Volume/1, refer to the procedure for upgrading the ﬂash memory to 40 MB in Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Upgrading — Software Release 4.1 (NN46220-402).

Using the SMLT protocol in the core, the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 can provide over 1 Tb/s of core switching capability.

When the 8692omSF module in slot 6 completes initialization, it recalculates the topology information (Layer 2 including spanning tree groups (STG), Layer3 including routing topology using Routing Information Proctocol/Open Shortest Path First (RIP/OSPF) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)) for the switch unless High Availability mode (HA-CPU ﬂag) is enabled. In High Availability mode, all Layer 2 information is synchronized to the redundant CPU, which results in no interruption of network services. For more information about High Availability mode, see

Ethernet management port

The Ethernet management port on the 8692omSF module is an MDI 10/100BaseT port that allows out-of-band management of the switch using a Web browser or Device Manager. You can also establish a Telnet or SSH (Secure Shell) session to access the CLI. Use this port to connect the switch to a network management station. The Ethernet management port has its own IP address but does not switch trafﬁc to other ports in the chassis.

Note that you use this port only as a management port. This port provides out-of-band management for the 8692omSF module.

DCE/DTE switch

The DCE/DTE switch changes the pin assignments on the Console port and allows you to designate the connector as either DTE or DCE. For information about pin assignments for the Console port, see "Console serial

port" (page 132).

Serial ports

The 8692omSF module provides two serial ports for attaching modem and console devices. The Console port provides terminal access to the 8692omSF module to use the CLI. The Modem port allows you to connect a standard modem for out-of-band, dial-up management. For information about pin assignments for these ports, see "Console serial port" (page

132) and "Modem serial port" (page 133).

Locate the slot where you want to install the ﬁller panel. If you have an 8010co chassis, insert the ﬁller panel into the slot.

OR If you have an 8003, 8006, or 8010 chassis, place the ﬁller panel

over the slot.

Tighten the two screws with a Phillips screwdriver.

Installing and replacing a module

This section contains procedures for installing and replacing a module. You can add or replace a module with the power on or off.

Prerequisites

•

The Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules are sensitive to static electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other ﬁxtures around you, even at levels that do not create a spark, can cause damage to the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules.

—End—

To prevent static discharge when you work with Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules, place each module on a grounded antistatic mat until you are ready to install it. If you do not have an antistatic mat, wear a discharge leash or wrist strap to free yourself of static before you touch a module. (An antistatic wrist strap is shipped with the 8010co chassis.) You can also free yourself of static by touching the metal chassis before you handle the module.

CAUTION

Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Do the following to protect your equipment from damage.

Removing a module

Remove or replace a module in your chassis. You can remove any Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module from an

operating switch chassis without turning off the chassis power.

Prerequisites

•

Back up your conﬁguration before you remove a 8691omSF or 8692omSF module.

•

After you remove or replace a module in your chassis, you can expect the following results:

— If you remove an interface module from an operating switch without

turning off the chassis power and replace it with the same type module, the system restores the conﬁguration.

CAUTION

If the chassis has only one 8691omSF or 8692omSF module and you remove that module, the switch will not operate.

NN46220-306 02.02 Standard

4.2 7 July 2008

Installing and replacing a module 77

— To remove a module from an active system, you must disable the

module before you remove it. Disabling the slot before removing the module provides a clean disconnect from all services.

The following procedure includes directions for disabling the module.

— If you remove an 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module

from an operating switch without turning off the chassis power and the module you insert has the same type MDAs installed as the module that you removed, the system saves the conﬁguration.

— If you remove an 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module

from an operating switch without turning off the chassis power and the module you insert has different MDAs installed than the module that you removed, you must reconﬁgure the module. Nortel recommends that you save the original conﬁguration in a ﬁle for future use.

— If you replace a module with a different type module, the system

discards the conﬁguration of the old ports and adds the new ports to either the default VLAN or a null VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the switch.

— If you save the conﬁguration in nonvolatile random access memory

(NVRAM), turn off the switch, replace a module with a different module type, and turn the system on again, the system discards the conﬁguration of the old ports and adds new ports to either the default VLAN or an unassigned VLAN, depending on the operating mode of the switch.

— If you replace an 8691omSF or 8692omSF module, all the other

modules in the chassis reset and revert to their saved conﬁguration settings. If you did not save the conﬁguration settings for a module, the module reverts to its factory default settings.

Procedure steps

Step Action 1

Connect to the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 command line interface (CLI) using the management console port.

To disable the slot of the module that you are removing, enter the following command. Specify the slot number for <slotnum>.

conf slot <slotnum> state disable

Conﬁrm that the module is disabled. The online LED on the front panel module is amber when the I/O

module is disabled.

Installing a module

Install a Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module. You can install a Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module with the

power on or off. If you install a module in the same chassis slot where the same type of module was previously installed, the previous conﬁguration is maintained for that module in that slot. With the 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, and 8683POSM modules, the conﬁguration is maintained only if the same type of MDAs are used. In all other cases, a module installed in an Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis resets to factory defaults.

Managing cables for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis

Manage the cables for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis to keep them fastened and out of the way.

The Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis ship with cable management brackets. The cable management brackets keep groups of cable clusters fastened and out of the way, but accessible for maintenance.

To facilitate card installation and removal, bundle the cables for each slot. Connect, label, and bundle the cables for each module together, then use Velcro straps or sheet ﬁber wrapped around the cables to organize them along the entire cable path before you connect cables to another module. Secure the Velcro straps or sheet ﬁber to brackets with lacing cord or tie wrap.

Procedure steps

Step Action 1

Connect the appropriate cable to the module. Route the cable up to the appropriate cable management bracket

and channel ("Managing cables: 8010co chassis" (page 94) and

"Managing cables: 8010, 8006, 8003 chassis" (page 95)).

Route the cable to the termination panel, loosely fastening the cable with Velcro straps or sheet ﬁber along the path.

Fasten the connector onto the termination panel end of the cable. Use the instructions supplied with the connector. If you are using cables manufactured by Nortel, the connectors are already fastened to predetermined lengths of cable.

Label the unconnected end of the cable with the node identiﬁer (from site records) and the shelf, cage, slot, and port number.

When all the transmitting cables from the same module are connected to the termination panel, use Velcro straps or sheet ﬁber wrapped around the cables to manage them.

7 Using scissors, cut a section of the sheet ﬁber that is wide enough to

wrap around the cables.

8 9

Using scissors, round the corners of the sheet ﬁber section. Loosely wrap the sheet ﬁber and secure it using lacing cord or tie

wraps ("Wrapping cables with sheet ﬁber and securing with lacing

cord" (page 96)).

Initializing the 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, and 8683POSM modules

If you have installed a 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module with at least one MDA into an Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis, the CPU module retrieves the image ﬁle to download to these modules. Ensure that the installed CPU module has a PC Card inserted and that the PC Card contains the correct image for the installed module. For a list of image ﬁlenames, see "Image ﬁlenames for 8672ATME/8672ATMM/8683POSM"

(page 96). In this table, xxxx denotes the release number. For the current ﬁle

names, see the release notes that accompany your version of the software.

For more information about the PC Card slot and the CPU module, see "PC

Card slot" (page 67) (8691omSF) or "PC Card slot" (page 72) (8692omSF).

The following sections describe the initialization process for the 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, and 8683POSM modules.

Initializing the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM modules

The CPU module retrieves the image ﬁle to download to the 8672ATME or 8672ATMM module. First, the CPU module searches the host ﬂash memory for the ﬁle, then the PC Card. The CPU module downloads the image ﬁle to the 8672ATME, or 8672ATMM and identiﬁes which MDAs are installed. The screen displays a message similar to the following:

Using image = /slot/p80t3600.dld for ATM card download. ATM card: Slot 4 MDA [OC-12c MM] [Quad OC-3c MM] Ver=2.2

If the image ﬁle is not found in either the ﬂash memory or the PC Card, the system stops and the screen displays an error message such as:

ERROR Task=rcStart Couldn’t find an ATM download image! Aborting card initialization in Slot=4

or:

ERROR Task=rcStart portPresent:port=X/X, invalid port Type

The 8672ATME or 8672ATMM module requests a redownload from the switch fabric module, and the screen displays the following message:

Redownload requested by ATM card in slot <number>.

If the image download is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following message:

ATM card in slot <number> not ready.

If there are three unsuccessful attempts to download, the screen displays the message shown in "Unsuccessful download screen output" (page 98).

If you accidentally delete the image ﬁle, reset the CPU module and download the ﬁle again. For information about how to reset the CPU module, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Installation — Chassis Installation and Maintenance (NN46220-305).

If you have one MDA installed, you can proceed to conﬁgure the 8672ATME or 8672ATMM module as described in Using the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM Modules (209195-G).

You must save your conﬁguration using either the CLI or Device Manager to preserve the conﬁguration changes you made to the 8672ATME or 8672ATMM module across reboots.

Initializing the 8683POSM module

The CPU module retrieves the image ﬁle to download to the 8683POSM module. First, the CPU module searches the host ﬂash memory for the ﬁle, then the PC Card. The CPU module downloads the image ﬁle to the 8683POSM module and identiﬁes which MDAs are installed. The screen displays a message similar to the following:

Downloading POS image to slot <number> .........Done (file

name and image size.)

If the CPU module does not ﬁnd the image ﬁle in either the ﬂash memory or the PC Card, the screen displays this message:

POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.

If the downloaded is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following message:

Card is off line.

The 8683POSM module requests a redownload from the CPU module; the screen displays this message:

Redownload requested by POS card in slot <number>.

The 8683POSM module attempts a redownload three times. If the download is still unsuccessful, the 8683POSM module goes ofﬂine and the screen displays this message:

Redownload of POS card in slot <number> failed maximum 3 times; POS card is offline.

When the 8683POSM module boots, the redownload count is reset to 0. After the image is loaded onto the 8683POSM module, the image performs a series of self-diagnostic tests. If the module fails the diagnostics, the screen displays the following message:

Port <number> for POS card in slot <number> failed diagnostics.

If you see this message, contact a customer service representative.
