XM60
Supported models: MGX 8950
The XM60 is the switch fabric that powers the MGX 8950 switch. Up to four XM60s can be installed in
the MGX 8950 switch to provide 240 Gbps of switching capacity for the system. All four XM60s should
be installed to provide scalable bandwidth sharing and for full redundancy. (Operation with one or two
XM60 cards is not supported.)
The switch scheduling hardware optimizes switching throughput by adjusting to various traffic flows. A
single point of failure in the switch fabric does not block traffic flow in a system with multiple switch
modules. During normal operations, all installed XM60s can participate in cell switching to enable
maximum hardware usage and reliability.
The XM60s do not have corresponding back cards.
