Chapter 36      Configuring Switch Acceleration

Backplane Channel Module

Backplane Channel Module

The Backplane Channel Module provides multilink load balancing between the switch engines. The 
Backplane Channel Module also allows you to retain the Gigabit Ethernet uplinks on the supervisor 
engine.

The Backplane Channel Module provides the following in the default configuration mode:

•

Full-mesh connection between all three switch engines

•

Multilink load balancing between SE1 and SE2 and between SE2 and SE3

•

Supervisor engine Gigabit Ethernet uplink connections

As an alternative, you can configure switch acceleration on the supervisor engine to get dual-link load 
balancing between all three SEs. 

Note

If you want to keep the uplink connections, do not enable switch acceleration on the supervisor engine.

You can insert or remove a Backplane Channel Module at any time. When you remove the Backplane 
Channel Module, traffic might be interrupted for a short time. For minimal disruption, disable the 
Backplane Channel Module, and then remove it.

You do not need to configure the Backplane Channel Module because it is enabled by default.
