Hardware Overview

External Controls

The XP-2000 has the following external controls. Where appropriate, this guide describes how to use the controls.

•A Male DB-9 Data Communications Equipment (DCE) port for serial connection from a management terminal. Use this port to establish a direct CLI connection to the XP-2000. The default baud rate is 9600.

•A 10Base-T/100Base-TX Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port for network connection from a management terminal. The port is configured as Media Data Interface (MDI). Use this port to establish a management connection to the XP-2000 over a local or bridged Ethernet segment.

•A Reset switch (RST). Use this switch to reboot the XP-2000’s motherboard from the internal boot flash in the event of a system failure. The Reset switch is recessed in the XP-2000’s chassis, so you will have to use a tool like a small allen wrench to activate the switch.

•Status LEDs.

LED Label

Description

 

 

OK

When this LED is on, the XP-2000 and all expansion modules are functioning

ERR

When this LED is on, a fatal system error has occurred. Activate the XP-

 

2000’s boot PROM to reboot the router.

 

 

HBT

This LED flashes when the XP-2000’s boot PROM is active.

 

 

DIAG

When this LED is on, the XP-2000 is in diagnostic mode. (While in diagnostic

 

mode, you will notice several other LEDs on the XP-2000 are active, as well.)

 

 

Motherboard Features

The internal “motherboard” performs all the XP-2000’s computing and routing functions. It contains system-wide bridging and routing tables. Traffic that does not yet have an entry in the L2 and L3/L4 lookup tables on individual expansion modules is handled by the motherboard. After processing traffic, the motherboard updates the L2 and L3/L4 tables on the ports and/or expansion slot(s) that received the traffic. The ports/expansion slot(s) thus “learn” about how to forward traffic.

Boot Flash

The motherboard has a boot flash containing the XP-2000’s boot software and configuration files. The system software image file resides on an internal flash chip and can be upgraded from a TFTP server.
