Chapter 2
Product Overview
This chapter contains an overview of the following FastIron X Series® Layer 2 / 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:
The FSX 1600-ANR chassis was introduced with software release FSX 04.3.00. For details, see “FSX
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.
Product Overview
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
