Switch core board - dual feed

Provides switch functionality (interface toward the switch core). Distributes system synchronization. Provides the ISL interfaces for connection between subracks. Provides power to the subrack, and in some cases to the fan unit. Controls the nearest CMXB, if present in the subrack. If an SCB-DF is faulty or is removed from the subrack, the nearest CMXB ceases to work within 90 seconds.

Common Main Switching Board The CMXB is a 20-port 10G BASE-CX4 Ethernet Switch that provides eight front-panel electrical Ethernet ports for user-plane data to and from the subrack, and 12 backplane Ethernet ports for device boards in a subrack.

provides 10G BASE-CX4 connectivity for internal and external user-plane traffic with redundancy between device boards in the same or different subracks.

The board is controlled (Ethernet and Reset) by the adjacent Switch Control Board - Dual Feed (SCB-DF) through a point-to-point 1G Ethernet SerDes Interface (MMEL)
