Application Control Module (ACM)
The ARX®1000 switch provides all functionality through one basic module, the
Application Control Module (ACM), which provides scaled down features and
components from the ARX®6000’s System Control Module (SCM), Adaptive
Services Module (ASM), and Network Services Module (NSM).
Control and Management Functions
The ACM supports the following switch fabric and control functions:
• RS232/Console serial interface for local switch management
• Out-of-band 10/100 Ethernet interface for local/remote switch management
• Service definition and policy enforcement
• Failover signaling and configuration information
