Product Overview
Product overview
This chapter contains an overview of the following
FastIron X Series
® Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches:
•
FastIron SuperX (FSX)
•
FastIron SX 800 (FSX 800)
•
FastIron SX 1600 (FSX 1600)
•
FastIron SX 1600 Acoustic Noise-Reduced (FSX 1600-ANR)
NOTE
Except for the ANR kit and fan modules in the
FSX 1600
-ANR chassis, the
FSX 1600
and
FSX
1600
-ANR are similar devices and use the same switch fabric, management and interface modules,
and power supplies. Therefore, the
FSX 1600
and
FSX 1600
-ANR are collectively referred to as the
FSX 1600
chassis throughout this manual, except where explicitly noted.
Designed for medium to large enterprise backbones, the
FastIron X Series
chassis devices are
modular switches that provide the enterprise network with a complete end-to-end Enterprise LAN
solution, ranging from the wiring closet to the LAN backbone.
Hardware benefits
The
FastIron X Series
chassis devices provide the following benefits:
•
The FSX management module is non-blocking, with a built-in switch fabric module and twelve
combination Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) copper or fiber ports that provide connectivity to your
existing management network.
•
The
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
management modules have a console port and a 10/100/1000
port that provide connectivity to your existing management network. The management
modules optionally support 2-port 10-GbE ports or 8-port GbE fiber and copper ports.
•
The
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
management modules are interchangeable between devices.
However, you cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same chassis.
•
Optional dual management modules on the
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
provide 100% redundancy.
•
The crossbar (xbar) architecture enables the management module to switch 30 Gigabits per
second between each interface module and within the management module.
•
The interface modules and power supplies are interchangeable among all
FastIron X Series
chassis devices. However, you cannot mix IPv4 and IPv6 modules together in the same
chassis.
•
The
FSX 800
and
FSX 1600
management, switch fabric, and interface modules are hot
swappable, which means you can remove and replace them while the chassis is powered on
and running.
•
All
FastIron X Series
chassis devices have a passive backplane.
