- 16. A Closer Look
- 17. C9010 network director – up close and personal
- 18. C9010 network director – detailed C9010 network director • 8RU • 10 half-width card slots (5 full-width) • Two 2.56Tbps RPMs (4 SFP+ ports per RPM) • Four 2,900W power supplies • Three removable fan modules • Tool-less mounting • Cable management • Optional ReadyRails™ • Side-side (right-left) suction cooling • Three half-width line cards currently available – 24-port SFP+ line card – 24-port 10GBASE-T line card – 6-port QSFP+ line card
- 19. C9010 network director • Each half-width line card has 120Gbps connection to each RPM (240Gbps for full- width line cards) • Each line card performs local switching (Leaf) • Each RPM performs inter-line card switching (Spine) • Each RPM has 3 CPUs – Control Processor (CP) – Route Processor (RP) – Line Processor (LP) • C9010 currently supports 40 C1048P (2,000 Virtual Ports). 4,000 Virtual Ports in a subsequent release • Remaining ports can connect to any Ethernet device/switch and provide standard switching/routing functionality • C9010 can be used without C1048P C9010 network director – detailed (cont.)
- 20. C1048P rapid access node – detailed C1048P rapid access node • 1RU • 48 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports • Two SFP+ ports • Two fixed 21Gbps stacking ports (stackable up to 8 units) • Internal 1000W power supply • Utilizes MPS1000 for power redundancy • Uses Broadcom Helix4 switching silicon • Requires C9010 to operate • Provides no local switching (switching/routing is provided by the C9010)
- 21. Configuration Step 1 – Configure the C9010 Step 2 – Pre-provision ports on the line cards that will connect to rapid access nodes • PE ID • PE Type • Any other config (Qos, etc.) Step 3 – Power up C1048P • Boots from FLASH • Elects its role in stack • Forms/joins stack Step 4 – Connect C1048P uplink(s) to pre- provisioned ports on the C9010
- 22. Plug & play Step 5 – C1048P sends PE TLV on the uplink(s) Step 6 – Once C9010 detects PE TLV, it advertises PE provision information for C1048P to accept Step 7 – C1048P configures itself and becomes operational Step 8 – C1048P performs no local switching, but provides: • PoE+ power • QoS • Loop detection
