UPLEX

The BlackDiamond system provides full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex allows frames to be transmitted and received simultaneously and, in effect, doubles the bandwidth available on a link. All 10/100 Mbps ports on the BlackDiamond 6800 autonegotiate for half- or full-duplex operation.

ONFIGURATION

E

XAMPLE

The BlackDiamond can be used as a core network switch, a segment switch, or a server switch. When used as a core network switch, the BlackDiamond performs collapsed-backbone routing and switching at wire-speed, allowing it to handle the growing influx of intranetwork and Internet traffic that travels between multiple networks.

When used as a high-density segment switch in the wiring closet, the BlackDiamond can aggregate the hierarchy of legacy hubs and switches that support desktop connections. When the BlackDiamond is used to perform segment switching at Layer 3, local traffic stays within the subnet and does not needlessly enter the core.

When used as a server switch, the BlackDiamond supports 10/100 Mbps segments and

Gigabit Ethernet segments, handling traffic to and from servers in the data center. This application ensures sufficient bandwidth between servers and to segments. Conversely, the BlackDiamond can support Gigabit Ethernet segments and 10/100Mbps server links to optimize client-to-server traffic. Multiple 10, 100, and 1,000 Mbps switch ports can be trunked into one logical link between the data centers, the network cores, and high-performance servers.

Figure 1-1 shows an example of the BlackDiamond used in a network configuration.

The BlackDiamond 6800 can have one or two A/C power supplies that use 220V power.

When two power supplies are present, the power is load-shared between the supplies for enhanced longevity. The power supplies are hot-swappable.

SNMP traps are sent when one of the following occurs:

• A/C power failure

• Power supply failure

• Power supply is removed

)

The MSM is the internal switch fabric for data that is being sent between I/O modules.

Each MSM has two CPUs for protocol processing, network management, and internal switch fabric for processing data traffic between I/O modules. Up to two MSMs can be installed in the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis for full redundancy. Using two MSMs, the capacity of the BlackDiamond 6800 is doubled, and the system runs faster. Packet throughput between I/O modules on the BlackDiamond 6800 is 32 Gbps when one

MSM is used, and 64 Gbps when two MSMs are present.

The MSMs must be installed in the center slots of the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis, labeled Slot A and Slot B.

Figure 1-3

shows the MSM.

The MSM has the following ports:

• Console port (used to connect a terminal and perform local out-of-band management)

• Modem port (used to connect a modem for remote access to the CLI)

• PCMCIA slot (for future development)



MSM B EHAVIOR

The BlackDiamond 6800 can run with a single MSM installed. When a second MSM is used, one of the MSMs is selected to be the master MSM, and the other becomes the

slave MSM.

The master MSM is responsible for upper-layer protocol processing and system- management functions. For example, OSPF computation and SNMP functions are performed by the master MSM. Packet handling is distributed among the four CPUs on both MSMs.

Selection of the master MSM occurs automatically. The following scenarios describe the selection process:

• When the BlackDiamond 6800 boots with both MSMs already installed, the MSM in

Slot A becomes the master.

• When the BlackDiamond 6800 boots with a single MSM (regardless of the slot), it is selected as the master. If another MSM is added to the system while powered on, the added MSM becomes the slave. The slave MSM can be inserted and de-inserted in the chassis without disruption of network services.

If you de-insert the master MSM while the BlackDiamond 6800 is running, the slave

MSM does a soft reset and becomes the master MSM.

When you save the software configuration, it is saved to both MSMs. If you download a new image, the image is downloaded to both MSMs.

MSM M

EMORY

The MSM has two 168-pin DIMM sockets, and ships with one 64MB SDRAM module

installed, as shown in Figure 1-4 . In the future, the memory capacity with be increased

by either replacing the 6 MB DIMM with a new one, or by adding a second DIMM to the empty socket.

For larger network configurations and larger routing tables, you can add an additional memory to the MSM. The MSM can be populated (using slots labelled J2 and J3 on the

MSM) with any of the memory combinations described in Table 1-3

ARDS

The BlackDiamond 6800 system has four I/O modules, as follows:

• G4X module

• G6X module

• F32T module

• F32F module

I/O modules can be inserted or de-inserted at any time, without causing disruption of network services. No configuration information is stored on the I/O module; all configuration information is stored on the MSM.

When the BlackDiamond 6800 is powered on, the system software generates a default configuration for any slots that are occupied with I/O modules. The default configuration allows the I/O module ports to participate in the VLAN default.



The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved unless you explicitly save the information to nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).

You can use the system software to configure the I/O module. You can also pre-configure the parameters of a module that has not yet been inserted into the chassis.

The pre-configured information is used once the module is inserted. You must select a module type for the slot before you can pre-configure the parameters.

For information on configuring I/O modules, see the

The fan tray contains three individual fans, accessed from the rear of the chassis. The fan status is monitored by the software for overheating conditions. All fan and temperature failures trigger management alerts (for example SNMP traps, SYSLOG messages, and so on). For more information on switch monitoring, refer to the

BlackDiamond User Guide.

Do not cover or obstruct the fan ventilation holes at the rear of the unit. Doing so can result in an overheat condition and possible damage to the BlackDiamond system. Thermal sensors will shut down the BlackDiamond if the internal temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius.

OCATION

The BlackDiamond is suited for use in a wiring closet or equipment room, where it can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Mounting brackets are integrated with the chassis.

When deciding where to install the BlackDiamond, ensure that

• The system is accessible and cables can be connected easily.

• Water or moisture cannot enter the chassis.

• Air-flow around the unit and through the vents at the rear of the chassis is not restricted. A minimum of 3 inches is required (5 inches recommended) for clearance.

• Temperature operating limits of 0° to 40° C are not exceeded.

The BlackDiamond can be mounted in a rack. The chassis is 15U high and fits in most standard 19-inch racks.

The BlackDiamond chassis is shipped empty; you must install the power supply and module cards after rack-mounting the empty chassis.

Rack-mount the chassis before installing any BlackDiamond components.

To install the BlackDiamond, follow these steps:

1 Mount the helper bracket in the rack using four appropriate rack-mounting screws,

as shown in Figure 2-1 .

All BlackDiamond module cards (MSMs and I/O modules) are hot-swappable. You do not need to power off the system to remove or insert a module card.

To remove and replace a module card, follow these steps:

1 Prior to installing module cards into the BlackDiamond chassis, put on the ESD wrist strap that is provided with the chassis, and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle located on the top-left corner of the BlackDiamond front panel.

2 Loosen the module card by unscrewing the screws using a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver.

3 Rotate the ejector/injector handles to disengage the module card from the backplane.

4 Slide the module card out of the chassis.

5 Slide the new module card into the appropriate slot of the chassis (Slots 1 through

8), until it is fully seated in the backplane.

If you are adding or replacing an MSM, ensure that the DIMM ejector locks are closed before sliding the MSM into the chassis.

6 When the module is fully seated in the chassis, the ejector/injector handles will begin to close.

7 To secure the module in the chassis, close the ejector/injector handles by pushing on them toward the center of the module card, and tighten the screws using a #1

Phillips-head screwdriver.

The I/O module can be installed in any of the slots labeled Slot 1 through Slot 8 only. The I/O module does not fit in Slot A or Slot B. The MSMs can be installed in Slot A and Slot B. Forceful insertion will damage the module or backplane connectors.
