Note 1: The 8003 chassis is not supported with Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600.  
Note 2: For information about these Media Dependent Adapters (MDA), see "8672ATME and  
8672ATMM modules" (page 50). The 8672ATME and 8672ATMM modules are not supported with  
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Ethernet VPN services.  
Note 3: Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 does not support the 8681XLR and 8681XLW modules.  
Note 4: For information about these MDAs, see "8683POSM module" (page 56). The 8683POSM  
module is not supported with Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Ethernet VPN services.  
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 pre-E, E, and M modules  
feature set  
Each Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 pre-E, E, or M module consists  
of a Backplane Forwarding Module (BFM) with common application  
specific integrated circuits (ASIC) on each module. These ASICs provide a  
forwarding engine and local storage of Layer 2 to 4 forwarding tables. Each  
forwarding engine provides lookups, resolves addresses and sends packets  
through the switch fabric to a destination port without CPU intervention. The  
forwarding engine also filters packets against current prioritization policies  
and can set prioritization information in the internal packet header.  
The BFM is also equipped with eight priority queues per port. You can use  
either of the following two prioritization schemes:  
Strict priority  
Weighted Round Robin (WRR)  
Strict priority guarantees the highest priority. WRR gives priority based on a  
round robin algorithm. For more information about prioritization schemes  
see Network Design Guidelines (313197-E).  
Output buffer memory consists of 8 MB of memory allocated to each Gigabit  
Ethernet port or shared among eight 10/100 ports.  
Note that Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 does not support pre-E  
modules.  
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module feature set  
Each Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module (Release 4.0 and  
later) consists of a Distributed Processing Module (DPM) as well as a Port  
Interface Module (PIM). The PIM consists of various Media Access Controls

for direct network connections. A single PIM interconnects with a single  
DPM to form a Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Module. Modules with  
DPMs are R modules.  
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules that use the BFM are pre-E,  
E, or M modules. These modules are described in "Metro Ethernet Routing  
Each DPM contains either two or three lanes, depending on the module.  
Both the 8630GBR and the 8683XLR modules consist of three lanes. The  
8648GTR module consists of two lanes. Each lane is also known as a  
Flexible Forwarding Engine (FFE). The FFE lane is the basis for the Metro  
Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R modules. The FFE lane consists of:  
Two Flexible Route Switch Processors—ingress Route Switch Processor  
2 (RSP2) and egress RSP2  
One egress packet handling ASIC–F2E  
One ingress packet handling ASIC–F2I  
egress" (page 22) shows the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module  
packet flow on ingress and egress.  
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module packet flow on ingress and  
egress  
The ingress RSP2 performs lookups, filtering and classification operations,  
and modifies the IP and MAC headers within the body of the packet to  
reflect routing and switching decisions.

M mode configuration requirements 23  
The RSP2 determines the information the fabric needs to carry the packet  
to the correct egress point and determines the physical egress port. As part  
of the lookup process, the RSP2 may also determine and record the egress  
queue ID and pass it to the egress RSP2.  
Encapsulation is the most significant operation that the egress RSP2  
performs. To specify the egress queue, the queuing and traffic shaping  
functions use:  
encapsulation information from the egress RSP2  
MAC and IP packet headers  
Quality of Service (QoS) bits  
The F2E egress ASIC supports the FFE QoS, including the functions  
of random early drop, queuing and selection, traffic shaping, and  
communicating to other similar R modules. Similarly, the F2I ingress ASIC  
provides packet policing and marking.  
Each DPM also consists of the following:  
One Fast TAPmux (FTAP) interface to the Metro Ethernet Routing  
Switch 8600 Switch Fabric Modules  
One Feedback Output Queue Manager (FOQ) Field-Programmable  
Gate Array (FPGA)  
The FTAP ASIC connects each DPM to the CPU/Switch Fabric modules  
through the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 switching backplane.  
The FOQ Management system collects information about the state of  
queues, packet storage elements, and the fabric. This information is  
available to the F2I at the point at which packets are segmented for entry  
to the fabric. When congestion exists, Metro Ethernet Routing Switch  
8600 modules with a BFM (pre-E, E, and M modules) use fabric feedback  
information only at this point to drop packets.  
The FOQ mechanism also provides information about the state of each  
of the egress queues and on the fullness of the F2E reassembly function  
buffers and queues. The F2E reports this information to the FOQ Manager  
FPGA on each module. The constellation of these FOQ FPGAs (one per  
DPM) drives a shared backplane bus that each FPGA senses. Therefore,  
each R module has pertinent information about the state of all other R  
modules in the system.  
M mode configuration requirements  
M mode supports the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 M module feature  
set. Full support of M mode requires the following configuration conditions:  
The chassis must include at least one 8691omSF CPU module.

24 Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules  
All modules installed in the chassis must minimally support 128 000  
table entries. M modules (8632TXM, 8648TXM, 8608GBM, 8608GTM,  
8683POSM, 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, 8681XLR, and 8681XLW  
modules) support 128 000 table entries.  
M mode must be enabled.  
If you enable M mode and one or more of the modules installed in the  
chassis is an E module (32 000 table entries), the E modules become  
disabled. This protects the system forwarding tables from losing entries.  
For information about enabling or disabling M mode, see Managing  
Platform Operations (315545-E).  
If your system has M modules, E modules, or pre-E modules, see Managing  
Platform Operations (315545-E) for information about how to configure the  
switch to boot in the desired mode.  
R mode configuration requirements  
R mode supports the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 R module feature  
set. Full support of R mode requires the following configuration conditions:  
The system must include only R modules. You can have a system with a  
mix of R, M, E, or pre-E modules configured in R mode. However, the M,  
E, or pre-E modules are not enabled. For information about configuring  
R modules in R mode, see Managing Platform Operations (315545-E).  
The system must include at least one 8692omSF CPU module.  
R modules do not boot with the 8691omSF CPU module.  
R modules require Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Release 4.0  
or later.  
R mode must be enabled. For information about enabling R mode, see  
Managing Platform Operations (315545-E).  
If the system is currently in default mode or M mode with CPU/SF 1 as  
the master and CPU/SF 2 as the standby, and you enable R mode on  
CPU/SF 1, save the configuration and reboot, CPU/SF 2 comes up as  
the master and CPU/SF 1 as the standby. If you then enable R mode  
on the new master (CPU/SF 2), the standby (CPU/SF 1) goes offline  
and remains offline.  
For information about how to configure QoS, Filters, Policing, and Shaping  
on R modules, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Configuration  
— QoS and Traffic Filters (NN46220-508).

64 Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules  
The 8691SF/256 (DS1404090) is functionally identical to the 8691SF except  
it has 256 MB of synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM)  
installed. The 8691SF/256 is identified by the front panel model number  
label in the upper right corner as 8691SF/256.  
You can use the 8691SF as a Metro Ethernet switch fabric with the  
appropriate memory upgrade. See Installing a CPU Memory Upgrade  
(314832-D) for instructions for upgrading CPU memory.  
The 8691omSF module consists of a printed circuit board with status LEDs,  
a management port, a DCE/DTE switch for the console port, a console port,  
a modem port, a reset button, and a PC Card slot.  
The CPU subsystem uses a PowerPC CPU and has 256 MB of SDRAM.  
The 8691omSF module contains 16 MB of onboard flash memory used to  
store the image file, and 2 MB of boot memory (ROM).  
The routing switch fabric uses 10 MB of shared, high-speed memory. This  
memory buffers traffic destined for I/O modules. The switch logic allocates  
memory to the various switch priority queues according to traffic usage and  
current switch configuration.  
In all 8000 series chassis other than the 8003 chassis, you can install a  
8691omSF module in both slots 5 and 6 of the chassis to enable redundant  
operation. The redundant module in slot 6 can assume the processing  
duties of a failing primary 8691omSF module in slot 5.  
When the 8691omSF module in slot 6 completes initialization, it relearns the  
routing and VLAN bridging information for the switch unless the HA-CPU  
flag is enabled. If HA-CPU is enabled, the static routes and ARP entries  
for routing are synchronized to the redundant CPU, which results in no  
interruption of network services.  
The two 8691omSF modules share switch fabric functions for the switch. If  
one 8691omSF module fails, the system reverts to operation with a single  
8691omSF module.  
Note that when the Metro ESM 8668 module is installed, the HA-CPU flag  
is not supported.

8691omSF module LEDs  
The Switch LEDs and the CPU LEDs serve as a bar graph to indicate card  
activity. The Switch bar graph increases as the switch fabric utilization  
increases. The CPU bar graph increases when the CPU is actively  
performing tasks, such as learning media access control (MAC) addresses,  
updating routing tables, or interacting with the device management station.

Do not use any software prior to Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600  
Release 3.6 with the 8692omSF CPU module. For more information, see  
Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using the  
Correct Software Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).  
The 8692SF module is equivalent to the 8692omSF module. It can be used  
as Metro Ethernet switch fabric with the appropriate software. See Nortel  
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using the Correct  
Software Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).  
The 8692omSF module uses a CPU similar to the PowerPC CPU of the  
8691omSF. The 8692omSF CPU has 256 MB of synchronous dynamic  
random access memory (SDRAM) for forwarding tables, and 56 MB of  
onboard flash memory for configuration, image and log file storage.  
The 8692omSF is capable of supporting an optional Metro Ethernet  
enhanced CPU daughter card. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU  
daughter card is a mezzanine daughter card consisting of dual 1 GHz  
PowerPC processors. Installing the daughter card on an 8692omSF module  
offloads processor intensive tasks from the 333 MHz processor located on  
the 8692omSF CPU motherboard. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU  
daughter card is required for Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) services.  
For installation instructions, see Appendix "Installing the Metro Ethernet  
The flash memory is divided into two volumes: Volume/0 has a capacity of  
16 MB and Volume/1 has a capacity of 40 MB. You can use either volume  
to store multiple file types, however, the 8692omSF module can only use  
either Volume/0 or Volume/1. By default, the system can only use 16 MB on  
Volume/0. If you want to use 40 MB on Volume/1, refer to the procedure  
for upgrading the flash memory to 40 MB in Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing  
Switch 8600 Upgrading — Software Release 4.1 (NN46220-402).  
Using the SMLT protocol in the core, the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch  
8600 can provide over 1 Tb/s of core switching capability.

8692omSF module 69  
You can install a 8692omSF module in both slots 5 and 6 of the 8006, 8010,  
or 8010co chassis to enable redundant operation. The redundant module in  
slot 6 can then assume the processing duties of a failing primary 8692omSF  
module in slot 5.  
When the 8692omSF module in slot 6 completes initialization, it recalculates  
the topology information (Layer 2 including spanning tree groups (STG),  
Layer 3 including routing topology using Routing Information Proctocol/Open  
Shortest Path First (RIP/OSPF) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)) for  
the switch unless High Availability mode (HA-CPU flag) is enabled. In  
High Availability mode, all Layer 2 information is synchronized to the  
redundant CPU, which results in no interruption of network services. For  
more information about High Availability mode, see Managing Platform  
Operations (315545-E).  
The two 8692omSF modules share switch fabric functions for the switch. If  
one 8692omSF module fails, the system reverts to operation with a single  
8692omSF module.

Installing and replacing a module  
This section contains procedures for installing and replacing a module.  
You can add or replace a module with the power on or off.  
Prerequisites  
The Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules are sensitive to static  
electricity. Static discharge from your clothing or other fixtures around  
you, even at levels that do not create a spark, can cause damage to the  
Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules.  
CAUTION  
Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Do the  
following to protect your equipment from damage.  
To prevent static discharge when you work with Metro Ethernet Routing  
Switch 8600 modules, place each module on a grounded antistatic mat  
until you are ready to install it. If you do not have an antistatic mat, wear  
a discharge leash or wrist strap to free yourself of static before you touch  
a module. (An antistatic wrist strap is shipped with the 8010co chassis.)  
You can also free yourself of static by touching the metal chassis before  
you handle the module.

Removing a module  
Remove or replace a module in your chassis.  
You can remove any Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module from an  
operating switch chassis without turning off the chassis power.  
Prerequisites  
Back up your configuration before you remove a 8691omSF or  
8692omSF module.  
CAUTION  
If the chassis has only one 8691omSF or 8692omSF module  
and you remove that module, the switch will not operate.  
After you remove or replace a module in your chassis, you can expect  
the following results:  
— If you remove an interface module from an operating switch without  
turning off the chassis power and replace it with the same type  
module, the system restores the configuration.

Installing and replacing a module 77  
To remove a module from an active system, you must disable the  
module before you remove it. Disabling the slot before removing the  
module provides a clean disconnect from all services.  
The following procedure includes directions for disabling the module.  
— If you remove an 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module  
from an operating switch without turning off the chassis power and  
the module you insert has the same type MDAs installed as the  
module that you removed, the system saves the configuration.  
— If you remove an 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module  
from an operating switch without turning off the chassis power  
and the module you insert has different MDAs installed than the  
module that you removed, you must reconfigure the module. Nortel  
recommends that you save the original configuration in a file for  
future use.  
— If you replace a module with a different type module, the system  
discards the configuration of the old ports and adds the new ports to  
either the default VLAN or a null VLAN, depending on the operating  
mode of the switch.  
— If you save the configuration in nonvolatile random access memory  
(NVRAM), turn off the switch, replace a module with a different  
module type, and turn the system on again, the system discards  
the configuration of the old ports and adds new ports to either the  
default VLAN or an unassigned VLAN, depending on the operating  
mode of the switch.  
— If you replace an 8691omSF or 8692omSF module, all the other  
modules in the chassis reset and revert to their saved configuration  
settings. If you did not save the configuration settings for a module,  
the module reverts to its factory default settings.  
Procedure steps  
Step Action

Install a Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module.  
You can install a Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 module with the  
power on or off. If you install a module in the same chassis slot where the  
same type of module was previously installed, the previous configuration is  
maintained for that module in that slot. With the 8672ATME, 8672ATMM,  
and 8683POSM modules, the configuration is maintained only if the same  
type of MDAs are used. In all other cases, a module installed in an Ethernet  
Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis resets to factory defaults.

Connecting a modem to the switch 87  
If you need remote dial-in access to the CLI, you can connect a modem to  
the CPU module using a serial cable.  
Prerequisites  
The Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 supports the AT or Hayes  
compatible modem.  
You need a DTE-to-DCE cable (straight or transmit cable).  
Because the modem port expects to receive Data Set Ready (DSR) and  
Clear To Send (CTS) signals before transmitting, these control lines  
are required in the cables.  
Procedure steps  
Step Action  
1
Turn on and configure the modem, using the parameters in  
See the modem documentation for instructions.

Connecting a network management station to the switch  
Connect a network management station to the management port for  
out-of-band management of the switch.  
The management port on the CPU modules is a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port  
implemented on an RJ-45 connector wired as an MDI connection. You  
can use this port to connect the switch to a network management station  
for out-of-band management of the switch using a Web browser or Device  
Manager.  
The port has its own IP address but does not switch traffic to other ports in  
the chassis.  
Prerequisites  
To connect ports that will operate at 100 Mb/s, use only Category 5 UTP  
cable. For 10 Mb/s connections, you can use Category 3, 4, or 5 copper  
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.  
Procedure steps  
Step Action  
1
Insert the UTP cable into the RJ-45 receptacle connector on the  
CPU module.

The following sections describe the initialization process for the 8672ATME,  
8672ATMM, and 8683POSM modules.  
Initializing the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM modules  
The CPU module retrieves the image file to download to the 8672ATME or  
8672ATMM module. First, the CPU module searches the host flash memory  
for the file, then the PC Card. The CPU module downloads the image file to  
the 8672ATME, or 8672ATMM and identifies which MDAs are installed. The  
screen displays a message similar to the following:  
Using image = /slot/p80t3600.dld for ATM card download.  
ATM card: Slot 4 MDA [OC-12c MM] [Quad OC-3c MM] Ver=2.2  
If the image file is not found in either the flash memory or the PC Card, the  
system stops and the screen displays an error message such as:  
ERROR Task=rcStart Couldn’t find an ATM download image!  
Aborting card initialization in Slot=4  
or:  
ERROR Task=rcStart portPresent:port=X/X, invalid port Type  
The 8672ATME or 8672ATMM module requests a redownload from the  
switch fabric module, and the screen displays the following message:  
Redownload requested by ATM card in slot <number>.  
If the image download is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following  
message:  
ATM card in slot <number> not ready.  
If there are three unsuccessful attempts to download, the screen displays

If you accidentally delete the image file, reset the CPU module and  
download the file again. For information about how to reset the CPU  
module, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Installation —  
Chassis Installation and Maintenance (NN46220-305).  
If you have one MDA installed, you can proceed to configure the 8672ATME  
or 8672ATMM module as described in Using the 8672ATME and 8672ATMM  
Modules (209195-G).  
You must save your configuration using either the CLI or Device Manager  
to preserve the configuration changes you made to the 8672ATME or  
8672ATMM module across reboots.  
Initializing the 8683POSM module  
The CPU module retrieves the image file to download to the 8683POSM  
module. First, the CPU module searches the host flash memory for the  
file, then the PC Card. The CPU module downloads the image file to the  
8683POSM module and identifies which MDAs are installed. The screen  
displays a message similar to the following:  
Downloading POS image to slot <number> .........Done (file  
name and image size.)  
If the CPU module does not find the image file in either the flash memory or  
the PC Card, the screen displays this message:  
POS image file name not found either in FLASH or PCMCIA.  
If the downloaded is unsuccessful, the screen displays the following  
message:  
Card is off line.  
The 8683POSM module requests a redownload from the CPU module;  
the screen displays this message:  
Redownload requested by POS card in slot <number>.  
The 8683POSM module attempts a redownload three times. If the download  
is still unsuccessful, the 8683POSM module goes offline and the screen  
displays this message:  
Redownload of POS card in slot <number> failed maximum 3  
times; POS card is offline.  
When the 8683POSM module boots, the redownload count is reset to 0.  
After the image is loaded onto the 8683POSM module, the image performs  
a series of self-diagnostic tests. If the module fails the diagnostics, the  
screen displays the following message:  
Port <number> for POS card in slot <number> failed  
diagnostics.  
If you see this message, contact a customer service representative.
