X6-4 Director Hardware Installation Guide
Control Processor Blades
The control processor (CP) blade contains the control plane for the device and hosts the Fabric OS that manages all
hardware within the device.
The CPX6 and CPX control processor blades are half the slot length of other Brocade X6-4 Director blades. Two CP
blades are inserted in the half slots located at the top of the chassis to provide CP redundancy. CP0 is installed in slot 1,
while CP1 is installed in slot 2. A CPX6 blade and a CPX blade cannot coexist in the same chassis. Both CP blades must
be the same type.
NOTE
The CPX control processor blade is supported on Brocade X6-4 Directors with switch type 165.5 and on
Brocade X6-8 Directors with switch type 166.5.
The CP blade provides the following external connections for device configuration, firmware downloads, service,
management, and monitoring functions:
•
USB port for firmware download and supportsave data.
•
Serial console RJ-45 port.
•
10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet port for device management and configuration. This is an auto-sensing MDI port.
NOTE
Half-duplex operation is not supported at 10Mb/s or 100Mb/s speed.
•
10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet port for service. This is an auto-sensing MDI port.
•
10GBASE-T RJ-45 Ethernet port (reserved for future use).
The two 10/100/1000Mb/s Ethernet ports are bound together as a single logical network interface. One port is selected as
the active interface, while the other is select as the standby interface. All traffic is transmitted over the active port while no
traffic is transmitted over the standby interface. If the primary Ethernet port fails (due to something other than power loss),
the standby port becomes active and immediately takes over data transmission to retain link layer communication.
NOTE
Connecting the CP blades to a private network or VLAN is recommended.
The blade contains a blue LED to indicate active CP status, green LEDs on Ethernet ports to indicate link and activity, and
green and amber LEDs to indicate blade power and status.
A bright, white beacon LED is located just to the right of the blade power and status LEDs. You can enable this LED to
illuminate on both CP blades so that you can easily locate the blades and chassis in an equipment rack. To enable or
disable beaconing on both blades, log on to the chassis and enter the
chassisbeacon
command as follows:
•
To enable beaconing:
chassis:admin> chassisbeacon 1
chassisBeacon success 1
•
To disable beaconing:
chassis:admin> chassisbeacon 0
chassisBeacon success 0
•
To display beaconing status (in the following example, Value shows 0 when beaconing is off and 1 if beaconing is on):
chassis:admin> chassisbeacon
Value = 0
