Chapter 1 Getting Started About the PacketStar PSAX Product Family When it is functioning in a redundant operating mode and after it has experi- enced a single-point failure, the PSAX 1000 system provides up to 630 Mbps of ATM cell bus capacity. The total ATM cell bus capacity of the system may also be scaled to provide nonblocking, nonredundant chassis bandwidths beyond 630 Mbps.
Chapter 1 Getting Started Text Conventions PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway The PacketStar PSAX 4500 Multiservice Media Gateway provides carrier-class reliability, with an unmatched range of service capabilities, end-to-end traffic prioritization, “any-service, any-channel” flexibility, and breakthrough voice technology. Ideal for the central office or a large enterprise multiservice media gateway, the PSAX 4500 system provides highly reliable network access for time-division multiplex voice, frame relay, 10/100BASE-T Ether- net, and ATM data applications.

Module Description Functional Description The Enhanced Router module is the premier IP routing platform for the PacketStar PSAX Multiservice Media Gateway systems. In addition to support- ing existing PSAX multiservice interworking capabilities, the module pro- vides routing, aggregation, and adaptation capabilities, and supports SPVC connection options.
Chapter 2 Module Description Feature Summary ~ In Single-Instance mode, the module operates as a monolithic router. This is the default mode of operation. ~ In Multi-Instance mode, a limited set of features will be supported on up to eight individual routing instances (VPNs). Note: The Multi-Instance mode is not supported on the Enhanced Router module in Release 9.1.0.
Chapter 2 Module Description Feature Summary • The module supports inverse ARP over ATM and frame relay (receives and responds to requests only). • The module supports up to 2,048 IP interfaces, which can be statically shared (scaled) across VPNs. VPN Features •...
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features • SPVC connections: 100 Software Features Traffic Flow The Enhanced Router module is an edge device that borders an IP network and an ATM core network. Ingress IP traffic (Figure 2-2) from a given inter- face is forwarded at the edge device.
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features Note: The Multi-Instance mode is not supported on the Enhanced Router module in Release 9.1.0. Do not perform configurations with the Enhanced Router module in Multi-Instance mode. IP Application in the Multiservice Media Gateway An IP interface consists of an IP address and an IP network mask.
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features Enhanced Router module mode to match existing slot configuration. As such, when an Enhanced Router module is inserted, if necessary, it may immediately reboot as it switches operating modes. Note: The Multi-Instance mode is not supported on the Enhanced Router module in Release 9.1.0.
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features Classification is done on the ingress, and is specified at the connection level. Each connection in an IP interface is configured with the range of CoS values that it supports. For example, VCC 1= CoS 1–3, VCC 2= CoS 4–5, VCC 3= CoS 6.
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features Ingress DiffServ The six bits in DiffServ are mapped into CoS values of 1–6. Mapping Table Virtual Routing Another key differentiator using the Enhanced Router module in Multi-VPN mode is the virtual router aspect of the module (see Figure 2-3). The virtual routing capability arises from its ability to form groupings of IP interfaces that can combine to act as separate IP networks relative to some other grouping of IP interfaces on the same device.
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features bered interfaces. The feature works when static routes are used without a routing protocol (such as RIP) are used. Unnumbered interfaces are not sup- ported on Ethernet interfaces. Router C 20.1.1.2 20.1.1.1 10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2 VPN 1 VPN 2 Router B...
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features RIP Version 2 Features RIP version 2 adds additional functionality to RIP version 1, such as external route tags, subnet masks, next hop router addresses, authentication, and multicasting. Note: RIP is intended to operate as an interior gateway protocol within a relatively small network with a longest path of 15 hops.
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features ARP functionality is supported for all interface types that are configured to carry bridged Ethernet traffic. You may specify a MAC address or allow a MAC address to be randomly selected from an available pool pre-pro- grammed into the Enhanced Router module.
Chapter 2 Module Description Software Features A router connected to a network must be able to identify which interface is to be used to reach every other connected end system. Routers near the cen- ter of a network generally have very large routing tables, those near the edges have smaller tables.
Chapter 2 Module Description Enhanced Router Module Applications In the example shown in Figure 2-6, if a packet matches Rule 1, then it is dropped. The Enhanced Router module module will not check any other rules in this case, because Rule 1 matched the packet. If a packet does not match Rule 1, then the module checks Rule 5.
