The Routing and Control Board (RCB) is responsible for system management in a QFX10008 or
QFX10016 (see
). The switch chassis can run with one or two RCBs. The base
configurations ship with one RCB that can be expanded with a second RCB for a fully-redundant system.
When two RCBs are installed, one functions as the primary and the second as a backup. If the primary
RCB is removed, the backup restarts and becomes the primary.

This topic covers:
RCB Functions
The RCB integrates the control plane and Routing Engine functions into a single management unit. Each
RCB provides all the functions needed to manage the operation of the modular chassis:
• System control functions such as environmental monitoring
• Routing Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols
• Communication to all components such as line cards, Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), and power and
cooling
• Transparent clocking
• Alarm and logging functions
RCB Components
Each RCB consists of the following internal components:
• Quad-core 2.5 GHz CPU
• 32 GB SDRAM
• 50 GB or 100 GB onboard SATA SSD
