Backplane Connections and Installation Rules
The following sections describe
•
the Frame Transfer Matrix FTM1 and FTM2 backplane connections,
•
the hardware configuration rules when installing first (6x1xx), second (6x2xx), and
third (6x3xx) generation modules, and DFE‐Platinum modules (7x4xxx) into the same
Matrix E7 chassis.
FTM1 and FTM2 Connectivity
The Matrix E7 (6C107) chassis has backplanes referred to as FTM1 and FTM2. The 7xxxxx
DFE‐Platinum modules use FTM2 for high speed communication to each other and
operate as one switching unit with a single IP address. The 7H4202‐72 connects to FTM2
only. The traffic through these modules does not connect to FTM1 except through an FTM
bridging module such as the DFE‐Platinum module 7H4382‐25, 7H4382‐49, or 7H4383‐49.
