Section I: FBRM/BFFG Product Description Transition Networks
General description
Design and configuration
The FBRM and BFFG Devices are designed as standalone models, and also as slidein Devices for the Point System chassis. These Devices can be managed through
SNMP via the Focal Point software (free), Web-based management, Local SNMP,
and USB interfaces.
The CFBRM and CBFFG (chassis Devices), and SFBRM and SBFFG (standalone
Devices) are designed to manage Devices remotely through the copper and fiber
ports.
The FBRM or BFFG Devices installed on a network should be configured one as the
local peer and the other as a remote peer for management.
Remote management is accomplished using OAM (Operation Administration and
Maintenance) per the IEEE 802.3ah, 2004 standard. Standalone Devices can also be
managed via IP (Web-based) or Telnet.
What is OAM?
In-band management
USB interface
Point System mgmt interface
These Devices implement the IEEE 802.3ah standard or (OAM) in the Ethernet first
mile. OAM is a group of network management functions that provide network fault
indications, performance information, data, and diagnosis. These Devices implement
remote management via OAM as per the IEEE 802.3ah standard.
These Devices implement complete Real-Time Multi-Threaded Operating System
(RTOS) with a TCP/IP stack for in-band management.
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) type “B” serial port is used mainly to configure
Device-basic setup before installation and operation on a network.
Implements the current Point System management I
2
C interface. This allows
managing the Device via SNMP, using the existing Point System method.

Management methods
Management
USB
Telnet
The FBRM and BFFG Devices support the following management methods:
• USB CLI (Command Line Interface)
• Telnet
• MMU (Management Module Unit) chassis web-based
• IP-based (web-based directly to the Device)
USB management requires a direct connection to the Device via a computer. This
method is used to set up initially or to troubleshoot Devices in the field.
Telnet management requires that the Device be connected to a network. Then from
the CPU command line type Telnet and the Device IP address as shown as follows:
Telnet nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (represents Device IP address).
MMU
IP-based (web- based)
The MMU (Management Module Unit) is the heart of the Point System chassis’
management capability. It has the ability to monitor and manage all its installed
Devices. The MMU communicates through the CLI presented at the serial port, or
through SNMP, Telnet CLI, and Web interface available via the Ethernet port.
The switch provides complete management through IP via an SNMP interface, webbrowser, or Telnet. The Device provides an embedded web server for web-based
management. It also offers advanced management features and enables Device
management from anywhere on the network through a standard browser, such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape.

Connectivity
The different versions of the FBRM and BFFG can be connected and set up to
manage a remote peer completely. In a mixed setup with other FBRM or BFFG
Devices, consider the connectivity scenarios in Figure 9, and the explanation that
follows:
Connection scenario explanation
Figure 9: Connectivity Scenarios
In Figure 9, P2 of the active local peer in both scenarios is “OAM enabled” and
“Active” by default. To manage the remote passive peer via OAM, configure P1 of
the active local peer as follows:
• Enable OAM
• Select Active mode
If the connection to the passive remote peer is made thru P2 of the active local peer,
OAM occurs without human intervention.
Note: Automatic firmware upgrades will not occur with different types of FBRM
or BFFG Device configurations.

Transition Networks Section I: FBRM/BFFG Product Description
Redundant SFBRM1040-140 models
Redundant models
These SFBRM SFP Devices support fiber redundancy. They have two (2) fiber SFP
ports and one (1) copper port. When you tag the fiber ports as primary and secondary
with redundancy enabled, any fault on the primary port results in the secondary port
becoming operational. There is an option for reverting back to the primary once it
has been restored, or you can continue using the secondary port—these are user
selectable features. See Figure 10.
Figure 10: SFBRMs in Redundant Mode
Explanation
With Port 3 as the secondary port in Redundancy Mode and Port 2, the primary goes
down, the following will happen:
Stage Description
A. All Physical layer and OAM configurations of Port 2 will be applied to
Port 3.
B. Port 2 is disabled, and Port 3 initialized to take over.
C. An SNMP trap is sent indicating that the ports have switched.
D. OAM reinitializes (resets all OAM counters and event logs).
E. All the dynamic MAC entries in the ATU are flushed and the active port
has to relearn the entries.
Note: If the configuration option “revert” is set, when the primary port link is
restored the session will revert back to the primary port. If the “revert’ option
is NOT SET and the primary link is restored, the secondary port remains in
operation until the user intervenes.

3-port switch mode
In this mode, the Device acts as a 3-port switch with the fiber port connected to 2
remote Devices. See Figure 11.
Figure 11: 3-Port Switch Mode
Note: In 3-port switch mode:
• Only one OAM session can be active at anytime.
• Transparent Link pass through is not applicable in this scenario. The port
link status from the Devices is received only as SNMP traps.
