BPX Switch Operation

With the BCC-4 card, the BPX switch employs a non-blocking crosspoint switch matrix for cell
switching that can operate at up to 19.2 Gbps peak. The switch matrix can establish up to 20 million
point-to-point connections per second between ports.
The BXM cards support egress at up to 1600 Mbps and ingress at up to 800 Mbps. The enhanced egress
rate enhance operations such as multicast.
Access to and from the crosspoint switch matrix on the BCC is through multiport network and user
access cards. It is designed to easily meet current requirements with scalability to higher capacity for
future growth.
A BPX switch shelf is a self-contained chassis that may be rack-mounted in a standard 19-inch rack or
open enclosure.
All control functions, switching matrix, backplane connections, and power supplies are redundant, and
non-disruptive diagnostics continuously monitor system operation to detect any system or transmission
failure. Hot-standby hardware and alternate routing capability combine to provide maximum system
availability.

800 Board Level Revision Number
The board level revision number (also known as the Manufacturing 800 number) provides the
maximum information possible about a given card, which assists in troubleshooting. This enables
Cisco Customer Service to remotely identify the board level revision number without physically
removing the card from the slot. This project provides the capability to identify the board level
revision number via command line interface, Cisco WAN Manager or CiscoView.
