Rules for Adding Management Connections

This section describes the requirements for adding an inband ATM PVC for managing an MGX 8850 stand-alone node. A management connection lets a workstation connected through a router control either the local MGX 8850 node or a remote MGX 8850 node that has no workstation. The typical configuration has the connecting router feed an AUSM/B, FRSM, RPM, or PXM UNI port.

A management connection can be either a DAX con or a three-segment connection. The maximum number of management connections is eight. The DAX con exists between a service module or PXM UNI and port 34 of the local PXM. PXM port 34 is a reserved port for management connections on a stand-alone node. The network in Figure 6-1shows FRSMs in a feeder application.

A three-segment management connection has a:

1Local segment between a near-end service module or PXM UNI and a PXM port in the range 1–32.

2Middle segment across the network cloud.

3Local segment between a remote PXM port in the range 1–32 and port 34 of that same PXM.

The path from “A” to “B” in Figure 6-1consists of three segments. A segment exists between the FRSM and the PXM on each MGX 8850 switch. The middle segment exists between the BXMs at the edges of the ATM cloud and may traverse BPX 8600 via nodes in the cloud. The VPI and VCI at each BPX8600-series switch connected to an MGX 8850 feeder must match the VPI and VCI on the slave endpoint of the connected PXM. The VPIs and VCIs at the endpoints of the middle segment do not have to match. If you use the CLI rather than the Cisco WAN Manager application, add each segment through the CLI at each switch.

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.
