The ERX System ERX Edge Routers The ERX-705 chassis is the same as the ERX-700 chassis (see Figure 1-3 Figure 1-4). The chassis contains seven slots to accommodate modules. Installation procedures and operating procedures are identical for both systems. All ERX systems use the same SRP I/O modules. Note: The system may look different from the systems shown in the figures in this chapter, depending on the line modules in the slots.
CHAPTER 1 ERX System Overview Where the ERX System Fits In Figure 1-5 router in an end-to-end Internet network. Communications with the system can take place over a variety of media. In customers are businesses using T1/T3 communication lines. In Figure DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM).
ERX System Modules ERX Edge Routers ERX System Modules The system supports an SRP module and a selection of line modules. You can use any line module for access or uplink. Access line modules receive traffic from low-speed circuits, and the system routes the traffic onto higher-speed uplink line modules and then to the core of the Internet.
CHAPTER 1 ERX System Overview SRP Module The SRP module (see connect to the system’s midplane and to each other: • • An SRP module must be present for the system to boot. For details about installing SRP modules, see specifications of SRP modules, see Caution: Do not remove the SRP module while the system is running.
Figure 1-8 SRP module SRP I/O Module A single corresponding input/output module called the SRP I/O module interfaces with one or two SRP modules through the system’s midplane. The same SRP I/O works with all models of the SRP module. This I/O module is two slots wide.
