PREFACE XII BLACKDIAMOND HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1 BlackDiamond Overview The BlackDiamond 6800 is a chassis-based system designed to be placed in the core of your network. The BlackDiamond system is flexible and scalable, making it easy for you to meet the changing requirements of your network. The combination of BlackDiamond systems and Summit switches delivers a consistent end-to-end network solution that provides nonblocking architecture, wire-speed switching, wire-speed IP routing, and policy-based Quality of Service (QoS).
BLACKDIAMOND OVERVIEW • Up to 48 switched Gigabit Ethernet ports • Fully nonblocking operation — All ports transmit and receive packets at wire speed • Autonegotiation for half- or full-duplex operation on 10/100 Mbps ports • Load-sharing on multiple ports • Virtual local area networks (VLANs), including support for IEEE 802.1Q • Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) (IEEE 802.
SUMMARY OF FEATURES • F32T module The F32T module has 32 10/100 Mbps autosensing Ethernet ports, using standard RJ-45 connectors. The F32T module supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. • F32F module The F32F module has 32 100 Mbps Ethernet ports, using standard MT-RJ connectors. The F32F module supports 100BASE-FX in full-duplex mode. Modules that use SX, LX, and FX interfaces contain Class 1 laser devices. Invisible laser radiation can occur when open. Avoid direct eye exposure to beam.
BLACKDIAMOND OVERVIEW For more information on 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX link characteristics, refer to IEEE Draft P802.3z/D5.0, Table 38-2 and Table 38-6. FULL-DUPLEX The BlackDiamond system provides full-duplex support for all ports. Full-duplex allows frames to be transmitted and received simultaneously and, in effect, doubles the bandwidth available on a link. All 10/100 Mbps ports on the BlackDiamond 6800 autonegotiate for half- or full-duplex operation.

BLACKDIAMOND OVERVIEW BLACKDIAMOND 6800 POWER SUPPLY The BlackDiamond 6800 can have one or two A/C power supplies that use 220V power. When two power supplies are present, the power is load-shared between the supplies for enhanced longevity. The power supplies are hot-swappable. SNMP traps are sent when one of the following occurs: • A/C power failure • Power supply failure • Power supply is removed POWER SUPPLY LEDS Table 1-2 describes the light emitting diode (LED) behavior on the power supply.
BLACKDIAMOND 6800 COMPONENTS MANAGEMENT SWITCH FABRIC MODULES (MSMS) The MSM is the internal switch fabric for data that is being sent between I/O modules. Each MSM has two CPUs for protocol processing, network management, and internal switch fabric for processing data traffic between I/O modules. Up to two MSMs can be installed in the BlackDiamond 6800 chassis for full redundancy. Using two MSMs, the capacity of the BlackDiamond 6800 is doubled, and the system runs faster.
BLACKDIAMOND OVERVIEW MSM BEHAVIOR The BlackDiamond 6800 can run with a single MSM installed. When a second MSM is used, one of the MSMs is selected to be the master MSM, and the other becomes the slave MSM. The master MSM is responsible for upper-layer protocol processing and systemmanagement functions. For example, OSPF computation and SNMP functions are performed by the master MSM. Packet handling is distributed among the four CPUs on both MSMs. Selection of the master MSM occurs automatically.
PCMCIA MODEM CONSOLE 50014 SY M EN ER S ST R R V MSM BLACKDIAMOND 6800 COMPONENTS BD_SIMMs Figure 1-4: MSM DIMM sockets For larger network configurations and larger routing tables, you can add an additional memory to the MSM. The MSM can be populated (using slots labelled J2 and J3 on the MSM) with any of the memory combinations described in Table 1-3.
BLACKDIAMOND OVERVIEW For more information on adding or removing DIMMs, refer to Chapter 3. MSM LEDS Table 1-4 describes the LED behavior on the MSM.
BLACKDIAMOND 6800 COMPONENTS The default configuration for the I/O module is not preserved unless you explicitly save the information to nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). You can use the system software to configure the I/O module. You can also pre-configure the parameters of a module that has not yet been inserted into the chassis. The pre-configured information is used once the module is inserted. You must select a module type for the slot before you can pre-configure the parameters.
BLACKDIAMOND OVERVIEW All Gigabit Ethernet ports on these modules use standard GBIC connectors and support 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX. The default configuration of the G4X and G6X modules is as follows: • All ports are added to the default VLAN as untagged. • All ports inherit the properties of the default VLAN (for example, protocol type, VLANid, and so on). • All ports are in auto-negotiation mode. For supported media types and distances, refer to Table 1-1.
BLACKDIAMOND 6800 COMPONENTS All F32T ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and support 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. The default configuration of the F32T module is as follows: • All ports are added to the default VLAN as untagged. • All ports inherit the properties of the default VLAN (protocol type, VLANid, and so on). • All ports are in auto-negotiation mode allowing 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, full-duplex, or half-duplex operation. F32F MODULE The F32F module, shown in Figure 1-7, has 32 100 Mbps Ethernet ports.
