CMM Functionality for OS6600
The overall software architecture of Falcon is retained for Hawk. The user will perceive the system as a
virtual chassis; where one element is elected as the primary CMM, another as the secondary CMM and the
rest of the elements as NI. The two elements that are elected primary CMM and secondary CMM are also
NI. This choice was directed by finding a solution to manage the entire stack with a single IP address.

A Hawk used as standalone switch/router includes the equivalent of the CMM application as well as the
NI applications. When several Hawks are connected together via the stacking link, two of the Hawks
contains CMM and NI applications running on the same processor, and the rest contain a limited Chassis
Supervision and NI applications.
