About This Guide
This guide describes system concepts and provides configuration examples to provision input/
output modules (IOMs), also referred to as cards, Media Dependent Adapters (MDAs), and ports
provided by 7210 SAS-M, T, X, R6, R12, and Mxp platforms.
On 7210 SAS devices, not all the CLI commands are supported on all the platforms and in all the
modes. In many cases, the CLI commands are mentioned explicitly in this document. In other
cases, it is implied and easy to know the CLIs that are not supported on a particular platform.
All the variants of 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, and 7210 SAS-Mxp can be configured in two
modes, that is in network mode and in access-uplink mode. In network mode configuration 7210
SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, and 7210 SAS-Mxp uses IP/MPLS to provide service transport. In access-
uplink mode configuration 7210 SAS-M and 7210 SAS-T uses Ethernet QinQ technology to
provide service transport. The mode can be selected by configuring the BOF appropriately.
The 7210 SAS-Mxp platform is configured only in Network Mode. The BOF does not allow the
user to configure bof-uplink mode. By default, the mode is set to Network mode. In network mode
configuration 7210 SAS-Mxp uses IP/MPLS to provide service transport.
This guide also presents examples to configure and implement various tests.

7210 SAS M, T, X, R6, R12, Mxp Interface Configuration GuidePage 3
This user guide is applicable to all 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-R6, 7210 SAS-
R12, 7210 SAS-X, and 7210 SAS-Mxp platforms, unless specified otherwise.
In either mode, it is expected that the user will only configure the required CLI parameters
appropriate for the mode that the user intends to use. Unless otherwise noted, most of the
configuration is similar in both the network mode and Access uplink mode.
Only 7210 SAS-M and 7210 SAS-T supports access-uplink mode. 7210 SAS-Mxp
supports only Network mode. 7210 SAS-X, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12 does not
support access-uplink mode. 7210 SAS-X, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12 supports
only MPLS uplinks and implicitly operates in network mode.
On 7210 SAS devices, not all the CLI commands are supported on all the platforms and in
all the modes. In many cases, the CLI commands are mentioned explicitly in this
