System Overview

This section includes the following topics:

• General Specifications

• Redundancy

•Alarms

The SmartEdge 400 router is a carrier-class product with an architecture that supports packetized traffic.

The SmartEdge 400 router can be used as an edge aggregation router to directly connect customers to the

network and supports a variety of interfaces and vital services, such as quality of service (QoS) and inbound

and outbound access control lists (ACLs). New services can easily be added with software upgrades.

Because of the optimized packet forwarding capabilities and support of high-bandwidth uplink interfaces,

the SmartEdge 400 router can also be used in the metropolitan core to aggregate traffic from other routers

into the long-haul transit core.

Note In the descriptions that follow, the term, controller card, refers to the Cross-Connect Route

Processor (XCRP) or the XCRP Version 3 (XCRP3) Controller card, unless otherwise noted.

System Overview

1-2 SmartEdge 400 Router Hardware Guide

General Specifications

Table 1-1 summarizes the general specifications for the SmartEdge 400 router.

The SmartEdge 400 router supports a wide variety of interfaces, such as:

• Synchronous Optical Network/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) OC-3c/STM-1c,

OC-12c/STM-4c, and OC-48c/STM-16c

• SONET/SDH OC-3c/STM-1c and OC-12c/STM-4c and Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) DS-3

with Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) support

• Channelized SONET OC-12 with DS-3 and DS-1 channel support

• Channelized SDH STM-1 with E1 channel and DS-0 channel group support

• PDH DS-3 with channelized and clear-channel support

• Clear-channel E3 support

• Channelized E1 with DS-0 channel group support

• Ethernet 10/100BaseT, 100BaseFX, and 1000BaseT

Redundancy

The architecture of the system is fully redundant for all traffic-affecting components. Redundancy features

include:

• 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching (APS) protection for Packet over SONET/SDH (POS) traffic

cards: OC-3c/STM-1c, OC-12c/STM-4c, and OC-48c/STM-16c

• Redundant controller cards and redundant file systems

Note Protection for cards and ports is dependent on the release of the operating system.

Note Protection for cards and ports is configurable on a port basis; a mix of unprotected ports is

supported. Protection features and the types of ports that support APS are dependent on the release

of the software.

System Components

System Description 1-3

• Redundant external timing sources, such as building integrated timing supply (BITS) or

synchronization supply unit (SSU), with internal timing if both sources should fail

• Separate A-side and B-side power connections

Alarms

The SmartEdge 400 router supports three levels of alarms—critical, major, and minor:

• A critical alarm alerts the operator to a severe, service-affecting condition. It requires immediate

corrective action, regardless of time; for example, a fire.

• A major alarm alerts the operator to a service-affecting hardware or software condition, such as a

serious disruption of service, or the malfunction or failure of important circuits. It requires immediate

corrective attention and the response of a service engineer; for example, a link failure.

• A minor alarm alerts the operator to a condition that does not have a serious affect on service or on

circuits that are not essential to network operation; for example, a carrier line problem for which

transmission has been switched to another line.

System Components

This section describes the following system components:

• SmartEdge 400 Chassis

• Controller Cards

•Traffic Cards

•AC Power Tray

SmartEdge 400 Chassis

The SmartEdge 400 chassis has six slots with two slots dedicated to the controller cards and four slots

available for a flexible combination of traffic cards. A separate area of the chassis has fans for forced-air

cooling. The SmartEdge 400 chassis is designed for mounting in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack.

All cards are installed at the front of the chassis. With the exception of the DS-3 and E3 traffic cards, the

cards have their port connectors on their front panels. The BNC connectors for the DS-3 and E3 cards are

located at the rear of the chassis.

Cable management brackets are attached to the right side of the front of the chassis and to the left side of

the rear of the chassis.

The fan tray is also mounted at the front of the chassis. An alarm card, inserted below the slots for the

controller cards, has the system LEDs mounted on it; system LEDs include power status (A and B sources),

alarm status (critical, major, minor), and a failure LED for the fan tray or the system itself, and an alarm

cutoff (ACO) button and its associated LED.

The ACO button provides one means of silencing an audible alarm; pressing the ACO button silences an

audible alarm and lights the ACO LED; pressing the button again turns off the ACO LED and, if the alarm

condition has not been corrected, sounds the alarm.

System Components

1-4 SmartEdge 400 Router Hardware Guide

The chassis is cooled with six fans contained in the fan tray. A single fan failure does not impact the

operation of the system; however, the unit must be replaced as soon as possible to provide the full protection

of the redundant fans. To maintain the air flow through the chassis, empty slots have blank cards installed.

Figure 1-1 shows the SmartEdge 400 chassis.

Figure 1-1 SmartEdge 400 Chassis

The rear of the chassis has connectors for power (A and B sides), DS-3 and E3 cards installed in

slots 3 and 4, alarm outputs and status inputs, and dual external-timing inputs for synchronization.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) jacks are conveniently located on both the front and the rear of the chassis.

Controller Cards

A controller card manages the system; it is responsible for the packet routing protocols, the SmartEdge OS

command-line interface (CLI), and communications with a network management system running the

NetOp™ Element Manager System (EMS) software. The controller card also loads all configuration

information necessary for the traffic cards. The following versions are supported:

• XCRP Controller card

Two versions of the card support either a DS-1 interface for BITS equipment (labeled “XCRP-T1

BITS”) or an E1 interface for SSU equipment (labeled “XCRP-E1 SSU”).

• XCRP3 Controller card

The XCRP3 incorporates a faster next-generation processor. Two versions of this card differ only in the

size of main memory. Support for BITS or SSU equipment is software selectable.

Note Support for the ACO button is dependent on the release of the operating system.

Note Support for the status and control port is dependent on the release of the operating system.

Note A second 192-MB or 256-MB compact-flash card is also installed on all versions of the controller

cards for low-level software.

System Components

1-6 SmartEdge 400 Router Hardware Guide

A controller card has these features and functions:

• Memory—768 or 1,280 MB of synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM), depending on the version of the

controller card, in which to operate the operating system and provide for shared databases that are

accessed by the traffic cards.

• Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) with battery

The XCRP3 Controller cards each include 512 KB of NVRAM, which stores the current state of the

system; because it is not affected by power failures or system shutdown, the system can restore

operations.

• Storage for operating system files

A controller card has two internal compact-flash cards (Type I), one of which is used to store

SmartEdge OS system images and files. (The other compact-flash card is used to store low-level system

software.)

SmartEdge OS storage is organized into three partitions: p0, p1, and /flash. The p0 and p1 partitions

each store a system image and its files; the memory on a controller card can be loaded from either of

these partitions. The third partition, /flash, stores SmartEdge OS configuration files and other system-

and user-created data files.

• Optional mass-storage device

A controller card has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install an optional Type I or

Type II mass-storage device. When installed (the system is shipped with this front panel slot empty),

this device is used to capture crash dumps and to provide an alternate source for loading operating

system software, when it is not possible to download it over the network.

Note In a chassis with two controller cards, both cards must have the same memory configuration.

Note Support for NVRAM is dependent on the release of the operating system.

Note The SmartEdge OS stored on the compact-flash card must be Release 2.5.3, or later.

Note If a mass-storage device is installed in the active controller, the standby controller, if installed,

must also have a mass-storage device installed; however, the device types (Type I or Type II)

need not match.

Caution Risk of data loss. You can corrupt the system if you attempt to install a mass-storage device or

an internal compact-flash card not obtained from Redback

, because these items have not been

tested with the SmartEdge router. To reduce the risk, use only the internal compact-flash cards

provided by Redback, and install only mass-storage devices purchased from Redback. These

devices have been tested with the SmartEdge router.

System Components

System Description 1-7

• Support for an external timing connection

A controller card supports a BITS (DS-1) or SSU (E1) interface for external timing inputs. For the

XCRP Controller cards, the type of interface is denoted in the label suffix on the card: “T1 BITS” for

DS-1 and “E1 SSU” for E1; for the XCRP3 Controller cards, the type of interface is software selectable.

• Internal clock

The system clock for a SmartEdge router can provide synchronization using external equipment

(external timing mode), the received clock of an optical traffic card (line timing mode), or by the

internal clock, a Stratum 3 oscillator, on the controller card (internal timing mode). The external timing

interfaces allow the system clock operation to be independent of the type of external equipment and the

framing of the external line.

By default, each port on a traffic card uses the system clock for its transmit clock. However, for some

cards, you can selectively configure their ports or channels to use the clock derived from its received

signal for its transmit clock. Because a port does not interface to external timing equipment directly,

traffic card synchronization is independent of the type of external timing equipment and the version of

the controller card installed in the chassis.

• Real-time clock with battery

The XCRP3 Controller cards each support a real-time clock that is set through the SmartEdge OS and

is not affected by power failures or system shutdown or reload.

• Temperature and voltage monitoring

Temperature is monitored at both air inlet and air outlet locations on a controller card; an

over-temperature interrupt signals the SmartEdge OS when the temperature rises above safe operating

conditions. Voltages are also monitored and reported to the SmartEdge OS. Administrators can display

both temperature and voltage data using commands in the SmartEdge OS CLI.

• Two types of operations ports for system management access—Craft and Ethernet

— Two Craft ports, labeled “CRAFT 1” and “CRAFT 2”, each have a DB-9 connector and provide an

RS-232 connection to a local console terminal, a terminal server, or a modem. The CRAFT 2 port

provides the access to the SmartEdge OS CLI for configuring and monitoring tasks.

— The Ethernet port has an RJ-45 connector and provides a connection to an Ethernet hub to either a

local or remote management workstation for access to the SmartEdge OS CLI for configuring and

monitoring tasks. The system can also communicate with a remote workstation that is running the

NetOp EMS software.

Note Support for the real-time clock is dependent on the release of the operating system.

Note The CRAFT 2 port is the only enabled Craft port. It is enabled on both the active and standby

controllers.

Note The Ethernet port on the standby controller card is not enabled unless the card becomes the

active controller card.

System Components

1-8 SmartEdge 400 Router Hardware Guide

• Fully redundant configuration

— When two controller cards are installed in the SmartEdge 400 chassis, one functions as the active

controller and the other card functions as the standby controller, providing full redundancy for

high-reliability networking requirements. In the event of a controller card failure, the redundant card

automatically becomes the active controller, thereby avoiding any unnecessary service disruption in

the network.

— Redundancy extends to the console connections on the controller cards: the CRAFT 2 ports can each

be connected to a terminal server, and the Ethernet ports can be connected to the same Ethernet hub,

with individual cables.

— The software automatically switches to the external timing secondary source should the primary

source fail. If both sources fail, the active controller card uses an internal timing source.

Table 1-3 lists the specifications for the controller cards.

Note If you upgrade the active controller card with a new software release, the active controller

upgrades the standby controller.

Table 1-3 Controller Card Specifications

Specification Value

Control processor • SONET/SDH software

• SmartEdge OS software

• NetOp EMS software

• External timing (synchronization) software

SXC ASIC 576 x 576 STS-1 cross-connect

Internal slots Two slots for Type I compact-flash cards:

• 192, 256, or 512 MB—System images and files

• 192 or 256 MB—Low-level software

External slot One slot for Type I or Type II mass-storage device—Crash dumps, external software load

Note The capacity of the internal compact-flash cards for low-level software and system images and files

can be 192 MB or 256 MB on XCRP Controller cards. For XCRP3 Controller cards, the capacities

of the internal compact-flash cards are 256 MB for the low-level software and 512 MB for the

system images and files. The cards installed in the active and standby controller cards need not have

the same capacity.

The capacity of the mass-storage device for the external slot is 1 GB.
