Upstream Port Failover
Introduction
The PES34H16 supports an upstream port failover mechanism that enables the construction of fault
tolerant systems. Upstream port failover allows port 0 or port 2 to be selected as the upstream switch port.
The failover feature is disabled by default. To enable upstream port failover, an upstream port failover
switch mode must be selected in the boot configuration vector during a fundamental reset. The following
switch modes (SWMODE[3:0]) enable this feature.
–
Normal switch mode with upstream port failover (port 0 selected as the upstream port)
–
Normal switch mode with upstream port failover (port 2 selected as the upstream port)
–
Normal switch mode with Serial EEPROM initialization and upstream port failover (port 0 selected
as the upstream port)
–
Normal switch mode with Serial EEPROM initialization and upstream port failover (port 2 selected
as the upstream port)
A graphical representation of the upstream port failover architecture is shown in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1 Upstream Port Failover Architecture
Stack 0 is always associated with the upstream port. In normal mode, SerDes lanes associated with port
0 are fed into stack zero. In failover mode, the SerDes lanes associated with port 0 or port 2 may be fed into
stack zero. Thus, from an external perspective, it appears as though the upstream port can be moved from
port 0 to port 2; however, in reality, all that is occurring is that the SerDes lanes associated with port 0 or
port 2 are multiplexed into stack zero (i.e., the stack associated with the upstream port).
