Compatible Base Units For NSMs
Table 1 on page 5 lists NSM-ready products and indicates which NSM model
can be used in each.
1. Maximum DS3 packet forwarding rates are achieved only when the AT-AR048 is installed in a Rapier
24
i
whose serial number ends with the letter N or higher. If maximum DS3 performance is not
required, the AT-AR048 can be installed in any Rapier 24
i
whose serial number ends in J, K, L, or M.
The serial number can be found on the underside of the switch (see Figure1 on page5).
Figure 1: Serial number label, as found on underside of switch.
What NSMs Do
NSMs are expansion options for those switch and router models that have an
NSM bay. NSMs slot into a base-unit switch or router and either directly
provide additional WAN interfaces, or provide multiple slots where PICs (with
WAN interfaces) can be added.
