    Overview of the Cisco 12008 Table 1-6 Switch Fabric Bandwidth OC-12 nonredundant OC-12 redundant OC-48 nonredundant OC-48 redundant 1. A CSC is a required router component. A minimally configured router (one with a single CSC and no SFCs) supports an OC-12 data rate, but provides no redundancy of CSC functions.
  • Page 67 As a multi-function board, the CSC provides the following system services: • Provides one plane of switch fabric for the router (see the section below entitled “Switch Fabric in the Cisco 12008”). • Serves as a switch fabric controller card for the router (see the section below entitled “Switch Fabric Controller Functions of the CSC”).
  • Page 68 Overview of the Cisco 12008 Table 1-7 Switch Card Type One CSC Second CSC Three SFCs 1. Router equipped with one CSC and three SFCs. 2. Router equipped with two CSCs and three SFCs. Switch Fabric Controller Functions of the CSC In addition to providing one plane of switch fabric for the router, the CSC provides numerous other functions and services essential to router operations.
  • Page 69 Figure 1-13 Block Diagram of the CSC Clock and scheduler card (CSC) Master clock/ frame synch generator Central switch allocator Single plane switch fabric Mbus module Alarm functions Board power power The major functions of each element of the CSC are summarized briefly in the following paragraphs.
  • Page 70 Overview of the Cisco 12008 In a redundant CSC configuration, the phase of the master clock generator on one card is synchronized with that of the other card. If either clock drifts, the master clock generators on both cards remain tightly aligned. Should one of the CSCs fail, the phase lock between the two master clock sources is aborted within nanoseconds, enabling the surviving CSC clock to remain stable and take over master clock duties.
  • Page 71 This single switch plane of the CSC can be used alone in a minimum router configuration, or it can be used in combination with another CSC and the three optional SFCs for full switching redundancy. In the latter case, the per line-card slot bandwidth of the router is increased from an OC-12 rate to an OC-48 rate, and the second CSC provides redundancy.

  • Page 73 — DB-25 alarm contact connector—A female DB-25 D-sub connector incorporated into the CSC faceplate enables you to attach an external alarm monitoring facility to the router, thus supporting a telco style of handling alarm conditions in the router. The alarm signals sent to this DB-25 connector are identical in function to those sent to the system LEDs on the CSC faceplate (see the following section entitled “System Alarm LEDS”).
  • Page 74 Overview of the Cisco 12008 In a system equipped with two CSCs, pressing the ACO/LT button on one CSC is equivalent to pressing this button on either CSC or both CSCs. — System alarm LEDs—Three system LEDs, labeled critical, major, and minor, are incorporated into the CSC faceplate (see Figure 1-14) to signal the existence of alarm conditions detected in the router by the system’s environmental monitoring circuitry.
  • Page 75 If the FAIL LED goes on, it indicates that one of the three SFCs in the lower card cage has failed. To determine which of the SFCs has failed, you must remove the air filter assembly and examine the status of the LEDs on each SFC. Two side-by-side LEDS behind a vertical tab near the center of the SFC (see Figure 1-15) indicate the operational status of the card.

    Synchronous Optical Network Connection Guidelines The Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) specification for fiber-optic transmission defines two types of fiber: • Single mode • Multimode Data transmission in either mode occurs by means of bundles of light rays that enter the fiber at a particular angle.
  • Page 124: Power Budget

    Site Wiring Guidelines Power Budget To design an efficient optical data link, you must evaluate the power budget. The power budget represents the amount of light that must be available to overcome attenuation in the optical link and to exceed the minimum power required by the receiver to operate within specifications.
  • Page 125: Approximating The Line Card Power Margin

    Approximating the Line Card Power Margin The LED used for a multimode transmission light source creates multiple propagation paths of light, with each path having a different path length and time requirement to cross the optical fiber. This causes signal dispersion (smear). Higher order loss (HOL) results from light from the LED entering the fiber and being radiated into the fiber cladding.

You can set or change the contents of the boot field by issuing the config-register command at the global configuration mode prompt [ The factory default setting for the software configuration register (and RP spares) is...
  • Page 221 • When the boot field is set to 1, the system automatically boots using the first image found in the onboard Flash SIMM on the RP. If you set the boot field to any bit pattern other than 0 or 1, the router uses the software configuration register settings to compute a filename from which to boot a default system image stored on a network TFTP server.
  • Page 222: Changing The Software Configuration Register Settings

    Performing Other Configuration Tasks Note If a bootable Cisco IOS software image exists in a Flash memory card inserted in PCMCIA slot 0 or slot 1, the software configuration register boot field setting is overridden and the system boots from the Cisco IOS software image in the Flash memory card, rather than from a network TFTP image (that is, from a computed filename in the range from cisco2-grp through cisco17-grp).
