All fabric facing links on the 4x40G, 2x100G and 24x10G TMs will have FEC enabled
•
hSFM links connected to 4x40G, 2x100 and 24x10 will have FEC enabled
Forward Error Correction (FEC) on Backplane Serdes Links
The operating margin of the longer backplane traces in the Brocade MLXe series 16Ke and 32Ke
chassis may be reduced due to signal attenuation. In the normal coding scheme (8b/10b), CRC
errors are detected and the corrupt packets are dropped. With FEC enabled on the serdes links,
single burst errors can be corrected on the fly so packet drops are avoided.
Line Module Shutdown
Line Module Shutdown is an RAS feature that improves reliability of the XMR/MLX chassis. The LP
card is shutdown when both MPs are down or MP's are disconnected from the chassis. L2 and L3
traffic is stopped, and the router stops forwarding all traffic. Hardware flooding and dropping
control traffic required for processing by the router is thereby avoided.
