Chapter 1: Overview
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”.
