Introducing the MM-7201

This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the MM-7201. It also
introduces the ways you can manage the MM-7201.

1.1 Overview

The MM-7201 is the management card for the MS-7206 Ethernet chassis system.
The MM-7201 contains the configuration of the MS-7206 system and makes the
interface modules work together as one switch.
Install one or two MM-7201 in each MS-7206 chassis.
• If you install one MM-7201, the MS-7206 system has a switching capability of
96 Gbps full duplex, the equivalent of two MI-7248 interface modules.
• If you install two MM-7201s, the MS-7206 system has a switching capability of
192 Gbps full duplex, the equivalent of four MI-7248 interface modules. In
addition, the two MM-7201s provide switching and management redundancy. If
one MM-7201 becomes unavailable, the other one takes over.
The MS-7206 system is designed to be used in enterprise applications, such as the
one in the following example.
