Cisco MGX PXM-1E Processor Switch Module

The Cisco

MGX

PXM-1E Processor Switch Module enables the Cisco MGX 8830/B and Cisco

MGX 8850/B Advanced ATM Multiservice Switch and Voice Gateway with 1.2-Gbps nonblocking

standard PNNI switching capacity for cost-effective voice and data applications.

Product Overview

The Cisco MGX PXM-1E Processor Switch Module enables the Cisco MGX 8830/B and MGX

8850/B Advanced ATM Multiservice Switch and Voice Gateway with 1.2 Gbps non-blocking

standard PNNI switching capacity for cost-effective voice and data applications. It has a functional,

space, and cost-saving design that combines switch fabric, management control, and network

interface ports into a single module. It shares the same management capabilities as the Cisco

MGX 8800 Series Switches for proven reliability, interoperability, and manageability. Three

variations of PXM-1E modules are available with interface speeds ranging from T1/E1 to OC-

3/STM-1 to give flexibility in network design. The hot-swappable optical modules minimize initial

cost for further capital savings.

Key Features and Benefits

●

1.2 Gbps nonlocking switching capacity: Provides cost-effective switching throughput to

meet the demand of service aggregation and voice applications at the service provider’s

network edge. The module fully supports Hierarchical Private Network-to-Network Interface

(PNNI) routing with Multiple Peer Group and mobile PNNI to allow Cisco MGX 8830 and

8850 switches to easily integrate with a large-scale PNNI network.

●

Choices of interface speeds and density: The variety of Cisco MGX PXM-1E modules

provides different choices of network interface speeds, interface combinations, and density

to suit customer needs. Network architects can choose from the 16-port T1/E1 PXM-1E

module, the 8-port OC-3/STM-1 module, or the 4-port OC-3/STM-1 and 8-port T3/E3

Combo PXM-1E module. The mix of T3/E3 and OC-3/STM-1 in a single module brings

unprecedented flexibility for network connectivity.

●

Individually replaceable optical modules: Offer a unique way to minimize network hardware

down to the port level. This translates directly into cost savings. Add more optical modules

to the 8-port OC-3/STM-1 or the Combo PXM-1E module for easy network expansion at low

incremental cost.

●

1:1 redundancy and SONET/SDH Automatic Protection Switching (APS): All Cisco MGX

PXM-1E module types support 1:1 redundancy to provide high availability of the switch

fabric, control processor function, and network interfaces. This capability is essential for

supporting mission-critical services. The optical OC-3/STM-1 interfaces also support

SONET/SDH 1+1 APS for facility-failure protection. The added reliability helps service

providers, government organizations, and enterprises to sustain reliable services to

improve customer satisfaction and reduce support cost.
