AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card
The AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card provides two functions: the
central switching fabric between all the Ethernet line cards and the central
controller for management and control of the chassis.
Note
One AT-SBx31CFC supports up to 200 Gbps of bidirectional
Ethernet traffic. When two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards are
installed, the switching load of the network traffic is shared between
the switching fabric circuitry on each of the line cards resulting in a
potential system throughput of 400 Gbps.
The Switchblade x3112 Management Software resides on the
AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card which monitors and configures the line
cards via the controller circuitry. Either one or two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric
Control Cards may be installed yielding a non-redundant or redundant
controller configuration respectively.

Note
The AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card can only be installed in slots
4 or 5 of the AT-SBx3112 Chassis.
Note

The CLI mnemonic for the AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card in the

Switchblade x3112 Management Software is “CFC200”.
