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

(MAC) and Physical Layer Controls (PHY) as well as the physical interfaces
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

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.

•
•
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).

ESM 8668 Metro Ethernet Services Module
The ESM 8668 Metro Ethernet Services Module (Metro ESM 8668) provides
eight 1000Base SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. The Metro ESM 8668 has the
same architecture as the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 interface
modules, but also contains an additional network processor in the data path
of each of the eight Ethernet ports.
The heart of the ESM 8668 is the flexible network processor. The network
processor contains four packet processing engines, each running at 400
megahertz (MHz). This architecture provides the flexibility, memory and
processing power to:
•
•
Implement a highly scalable and feature rich Ethernet VPN solution.
Enable the highly resilient 50 millisecond (ms) Gigabit Ethernet access
ring solution with the Ethernet Services Unit (ESU) 18x0 product family.
•
Allow future feature enhancements through software upgrades.

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.

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.
LEDs
"8692omSF module LEDs" (page 69) shows the location of the 8692omSF
module LEDs.
8692omSF 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.
"8692omSF module LEDs" (page 70) describes the 8692omSF module
LEDs.

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

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.

Managing cables for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series
chassis
Manage the cables for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis to
keep them fastened and out of the way.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis ship with cable
management brackets. The cable management brackets keep groups of
cable clusters fastened and out of the way, but accessible for maintenance.
To facilitate card installation and removal, bundle the cables for each slot.
Connect, label, and bundle the cables for each module together, then use
Velcro straps or sheet fiber wrapped around the cables to organize them
along the entire cable path before you connect cables to another module.
Secure the Velcro straps or sheet fiber to brackets with lacing cord or tie
wrap.

Initializing the 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, and 8683POSM modules
If you have installed a 8672ATME, 8672ATMM, or 8683POSM module with
at least one MDA into an Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series chassis, the
CPU module retrieves the image file to download to these modules. Ensure
that the installed CPU module has a PC Card inserted and that the PC Card
contains the correct image for the installed module. For a list of image
(page 96). In this table, xxxx denotes the release number. For the current file
names, see the release notes that accompany your version of the software.

For more information about the PC Card slot and the CPU module, see "PC
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

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.
