Table 2.3 lists the management modules supported on the FSX chassis.
NOTE:
•
The management modules with 512 MB SDRAM enable support for larger routing tables (1,000,000 BGP
routes) with the full Layer 3 code.
•
The IPv6 management modules ending with
-PREM
were introduced in software release 04.0.00. These
modules provide additional support for full Layer 3 IPv4 routing protocols.
•
The IPv6 management modules ending with
-PREM6
were introduced in software release 04.1.00.
These modules provide additional support for full Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. The
-PREM6
management modules require software release 04.1.00 or higher to run the supported IPv6 routing
protocols and features.
The FSX management module does the following:
•
Controls the FSX hardware components
•
Houses and controls the switch fabric module
•
Runs the networking protocols
•
Provides the real time operating system
The management module is located in slot 9, just above the power supply slots (see Figure 2.2).
