Rules for Adding Connections

Rules for Adding a DAX Connection

A DAX con is a connection whose endpoints for the entire connection exist on the same switch. The following apply to the MGX 8850 switch:

1On a feeder, a DAX con can exist between different service modules or the same service module.

2A stand-alone node supports DAX cons with one or both endpoints on the PXM in addition to DAX cons between service modules.

3Either endpoint can be the master.

4The first endpoint to add is the slave. The generic syntax is: addcon <local parameters>

where local parameters are the port, DLCI or VPI and VCI, and mastership status. Slave is the default case, so you actually do not explicitly have to specify it. When you press Return, the system returns a connection identifier. The identifier includes the port and DLCI or VPI and VCI.

Use the identifier to specify the slave endpoint when you subsequently add the connection at the master end. The slave endpoint is specified as the remote parameters in item 5.

5To complete the DAX con, add the master endpoint. The generic syntax is addcon <local parameters> <remote parameters>

where local parameters are the port, DLCI or VPI and VCI, and mastership status (master in this case). The remote parameters are the items in the connection identifier that the system returned when you added the slave endpoint.

6If the endpoint is a PXM port in a stand-alone node, specify the slot as 0. The addcon command is the only command in which you specify the slot number for the PXM as 0.

Rules for Adding Three-Segment Connections

A three-segment connection consists of a local segment on each MGX 8850 switch at the edges of the network cloud and a middle segment across the network cloud. The MGX 8850 requirements are:

1For MGX 8850 feeders, the backbone must consist of BPX 8600-series switches.

2For MGX 8850 stand-alone switches, the backbone switches can be either BPX 8600-series switches or switches from another manufacturer.

3On a feeder, the local segment exists between a service module and the PXM.

4On a stand-alone node, the local segment can be between a service module and a port on the PXM or just two ports on the PXM.

5For the local segment, add the connection at only the master endpoint. The generic syntax is: addcon <local parameters> <remote parameters>

where local parameters are the port, DLCI or VPI and VCI, and mastership status (master in this case). The remote parameters are the current nodename, slot, port, and VPI and VCI of the slave end. For the PXM endpoints, specify the slot number as 0. The addcon command is the only command in which you specify the slot number for the PXM as 0.

MGX-FRSM-HS2, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, MGX-FRSM-2CT3 specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology and infrastructure, providing solutions that drive innovation and efficiency for businesses worldwide. Among its diverse range of products, the MGX series stands out as a pivotal component for the network-centric era, especially with models like MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2. These modules are primarily designed for the MGX 8800 series routers, facilitating efficient traffic management and service delivery.

The MGX-FRSM-2CT3 is a versatile module that supports two T3 connections. It allows network operators to seamlessly integrate high-capacity circuit-switched and packet-switched data on a unified platform. This versatility is crucial for service providers looking to enhance their bandwidth offerings while ensuring reliable performance across voice, video, and data applications.

In contrast, the MGX-FRSM-2T3E3 module caters to operators needing E3 support. This feature allows for efficient data transport over a broader bandwidth, catering to European standards. The E3 configuration is vital for service providers operating in Europe or regions that utilize E3 technology prominently.

The MGX-FRSM-HS2 module is another significant offering, designed to accommodate the increasing demand for high speed and high capacity. It supports higher-order TDM and packet technologies, enabling operators to implement advanced services such as VoIP, video conferencing, and other data-intensive applications. This module provides scalability and reliability, making it ideal for next-generation networks.

All three modules leverage Cisco’s advanced switching and routing technology, ensuring optimal performance and minimal latency. The integration of Quality of Service (QoS) features allows network administrators to prioritize traffic types effectively, ensuring mission-critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.

Additionally, these MGX modules support various signaling protocols, enabling interoperability with existing network infrastructure while also facilitating the migration to newer technologies. They play an essential role in modernizing telecom networks, allowing service providers to adapt to changing market demands and technology landscapes.

In summary, the Cisco MGX-FRSM-2CT3, MGX-FRSM-2T3E3, and MGX-FRSM-HS2 modules are key components for businesses looking to enhance their networking capabilities. With their robust support for T3 and E3 technologies, high scalability, and advanced QoS features, these modules empower service providers to deliver a wide range of services, drive innovation, and meet the growing demands of users in an increasingly connected world.
