The 

MPX

 provides such system services as maintenance of user configuration information, 

downloading of switching module software, basic bridge management functions, basic rout-
ing functions, the 

SNMP

 management agent, access to the User Interface software, and 

Advanced Routing. In addition, the 

MPX

 can operate in a redundant configuration with 

another 

MPX

.

♦ Important Note ♦

If you have a single 

MPX

 in your chassis, it must be 

installed in Slot 1.

With the optional 

HRE-X

, which is described in Chapter 1, “Omni Switch/Router Chassis and 

Power Supplies,” you can increase routing performance to 1.5 million packets per second.

♦ Warning ♦

Do not install any version of the 

MPM

 (i.e, 

MPM-C

, 

MPM-1G

, 

MPM-II

, 

MPM-III

, or original 

MPM

) in a chassis 

with an 

MPX

 or any OmniSwitch switching module. 

Installing an 

MPM

 in a chassis with an 

MPX

 can cause 

physical damage.
