    The RS operates within the layers that are not shaded. Notice that layer 2 is divided into a MAC layer, an LLC layer, and an LLC2 layer. The RS 32000 operates at the MAC and LLC layers.

  • Page 22: System Overview

    Introduction SYSTEM OVERVIEW The RS 32000 hardware provides wire-speed performance regardless of the performance monitoring, filtering, and Quality of Service (QoS) features enabled by the software. You do not need to accept performance compromises to run QoS or access control lists (ACLs).

  • Page 23: Software Overview

    If the packet is addressed to the router’s own MAC address, the packet is routed rather than bridged. Flow-based bridging – The RS 32000 performs this type of bridging by looking up a packet’s source and destination address in an L2 lookup table on the line card that received the packet from the network.

  • Page 24: Routing

    Note By default, the RS 32000 uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The RS 32000 can be configured to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface and a separate MAC address for each IPX interface. When the RS receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one of the router’s IP or IPX interface MAC addresses, the line card that received...

  • Page 25: Layer-4 Switching

    Layer-4 Flows – The RS 32000 can store layer-4 flows on each line card. A layer-4 flow consists of the source and destination addresses in the IP or IPX packet combined with the TCP or UDP source and destination port number (for IP) or the source and destination socket (for IPX).

  • Page 32: Ac Power Supply

    To ensure against equipment failure, install one or two redundant power supplies. Each power supply provides 1200W for a total power output of 2400W. When three or more power supplies are active in the RS 32000, they load share with each supply delivering a prorated percentage of the current needed. Moreover, if one power supply fails, the other power supplies immediately assume the entire load, preventing any system outage.

    Figure 2-6 Front view of an RS 32000 DC power supply The RS 32000 DC power supply has three power terminals on the front panel, consisting of one positive (+) terminal, one negative (-) terminal, and a safety ground. The DC supply is designed to be powered by a 48 volt DC source.

  • Page 34: Control Module

    Control Module The Control Module is the central processing unit of the RS 32000. It contains system-wide bridging and routing tables. Traffic that does not yet have an entry in the L2 and L3/L4 lookup tables on individual line cards is sent to the Control Module.

  • Page 35: Table 2-5 Db-9 Pin Assignments

    The Control Module uses memory to hold routing tables, bridging tables, and other tables. The minimum factory configuration for the Control Module includes 256MB of memory (in a 256MB DIMM). You can obtain an RS 32000 memory upgrade kits from Riverstone Networks, Inc. to increase memory to 512MB (in one 256MB DIMM).
