OpenArchitect Switch Management
The OpenArchitect software component – open source Linux, IP protocol stack, control
applications and the OA Engine – runs on two embedded PowerPC microprocessors.
OpenArchitect provides extensive managed IP routing protocols and other open standards for
switch management. Examples include network services; Virtual Redundant Router Protocol;
Routing Information Protocol; Open Shortest Path First; Border Gateway Protocol; Quality of
Service and Class of Service; access control lists; Simple Network Management Protocol MIBs,
Common Open Policy Services and web.

Extensible Customization of Routing Policies
The OpenArchitect software environment enables rapid porting of other UNIX/Linux-based
protocols, including open source software conforming to RFCs and other standards. It also
enables the development of application-specific protocol configuration scripts.

Powerful CarrierClass Features
The Ethernet Switch Blade has High Availability hardware features for advanced
telecommunication applications. The switch implements the PICMG 3.0 Full Hotswap support.
This feature provides field replaceable capabilities so a switch can fail and be replaced without
impacting the operational performance of a chassis.

This feature provides field replaceable capabilities so a switch can fail and be replaced without
impacting the operational performance of a chassis.
The PICMG 3.0 Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) standard is also supported.
IPMI uses message-based interfaces that monitor the physical health characteristics of the
Ethernet Switch Blade. The switch provides operational status information to an IPMI
management application. End customers benefit with advanced notice of potential problems.

The Ethernet Switch Blade also implements the Media Dependent Interface called Auto MDI-X.
Auto MDI-X allows connections to any device, switches, hubs, or systems using a regular
straight-through or crossover Cat 5 cable. The RJ-45 port will auto detect and switch MDI/MDI-
X modes. This IEEE standard makes cabling – especially between switches – faster and less error
prone.

E-Keying is supported by the Ethernet Switch Blade.
Ethernet Port Layout
The Ethernet Switch Blade has a total of 72 switched Gigabit Ethernet ports. The base fabric is
connected via 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and the data fabric is connected via 48 Gigabit Ethernet
ports. The Ethernet Switch Blade is actually composed of two separate switches, one for Base
port activity and another for fabric port activity. The Base ports ( control and signaling) are
switched on the Base switch, and the fabric ports ( data ) are switched on the fabric switch, which
provides total separation between system management or control packets, and customer data
packets.
