    Preface • Overview..................................5 • Purpose of This Document............................6 • Audience..................................6 • Objectives..................................7 • Document History................................. 7 Overview Ruckus Campus Fabric technology integrates high-performance, fixed-form-factor switches to create a single distributed logical switch that is independent of physical location and that allows organizations to add ports across the campus whenever and wherever needed without adding complexity.

  • Page 6: Purpose Of This Document

    Preface Purpose of This Document The Ruckus ICX 7250 and ICX 7450 switches deliver the performance, flexibility, and scalability required for enterprise gigabit Ethernet access deployment. These switches offer market chassis-level performance and reliability with the flexibility, cost- effectiveness, and "pay as you grow" scalability of a stackable solution. The components of the Ruckus SPX architecture are the Ruckus ICX 7250 and ICX 7450 routers configured as port extenders (PEs), or PE units, to a set of Ruckus ICX 7750 stack units configured as the 802.1BR control bridge.

  • Page 9: Spx Technical Architecture

    SPX Technical Architecture • Control Bridge................................9 • Port Extenders................................9 Control Bridge The control bridge (CB) manages port extender (PE) units. It performs switching, routing, and forwarding for PE ports and provides centralized policy management. The CB uses the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to discover PE units. When the CB discovers a PE unit, it connects to the PE unit and creates a control plane using Control and Status Protocol (CSP) over the uplink/ cascade port.

    Best Practices One recommended method for creating a PE ring is to connect two edge PEs in an existing SPX domain, as shown in the following figure. The procedure for forming an PE ring is explained in Deployment Scenario 1: Deploying a PE Ring in an Existing Campus Fabric Domain on page 42.
  • Page 82 Best Practices FIGURE 24 Connecting the Edge PE of the Existing PE Chain to the CB • Beginning with FastIron 08.0.70, SPX interactive-setup option 2&3 can detect new links between a CB unit and an edge PE or between two edge PE units. When these links are detected, the associated PE chain or, if present, both associated PE chains are converted into a ring.

    Zero-Touch Provisioning Managing PEs Managing PEs Once the Campus Fabric domain is deployed, you may want to optimize PEs in various ways. Zero-touch deployment provides two options for managing PE IDs. Changing PE IDs Previously, changing PE IDs required powering down the units and changing the PE ID configuration. With option 1 of SPX interactive-setup, you can change PE IDs without shutting down the PEs or changing any connections or topology.
