Overview: BXM Cards
A BXM card set, using Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology, provides high speed
ATM connectivity, flexibility, and scalability. The card set is comprised of a front card that provides the
processing, management, and switching of ATM traffic and a back card that provides the physical
interface for the card set.
Each interface of a BXM card is configured for either:
•
Trunk mode— Provides the BPX network interface for the BXM card.
•
Service mode (UNI or NNI port)—Provides service access to customer premise equipment for the
BXM card.
An example of a BPX switch network provisioned with BXM-622 cards is shown in Figure 5-1.
