Guidelines

Here are a few functions of the controller card:

Chassis Management The controller card is used to monitor

and configure the parameter settings on the Ethernet line cards.

The controller card supports local management sessions through

the Console RS-232 port and remote management sessions with

Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), or SNMP clients on workstations on

your network.

Management software The controller card stores its own

management software as well as the management software for the

Ethernet line cards. It downloads the firmware to the cards over the

backplane in the chassis when the chassis is powered on or reset,

as part of the initialization process.

Configuration Settings The controller card also maintains a

configuration database in which it stores its own settings as well as

the settings of the Ethernet line cards. When a change is made to

a configuration setting on a line card, the controller card transmits

the change over the backplane to the appropriate line card and

updates its configuration database. The database is retained even

when the chassis is powered off because controller card stores it in

nonvolatile memory. You may download the database to a

management workstation or network server to maintain a history of

configurations or to transfer a configuration to multiple chassis.

Backplane Control The chassis has a backplane. The Ethernet

line cards use the backplane to forward traffic to each other when

the ingress and egress ports of packets are located on different

cards. The backplane is managed by the controller card. The

bandwidth of the backplane depends on the number of controller

cards in the chassis. Each line card slot has up to 80Gbps of

backplane bandwidth when the chassis has one controller card

and up to 160Gbps with two controller cards.

VCStack Plus feature The controller card can be used to create

a stack of two chassis that operate as a single, virtual switch,

which can simplify network operation and management. For more

information, refer to Chapter 14, “VCStack Plus Overview” on page

261.
SFP+ slots The SFP+ slot on the front panel may be used with

standard 10Gbps transceivers to add high speed uplink ports for

the Ethernet line cards in the chassis or with stacking transceivers

and the VCStack Plus feature to build a stack of two chassis.

Here are the guidelines to the controller card:

The chassis must have at least one controller card. The line cards

do not forward traffic if the chassis does not have at least one
