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.
