Processor Feature Card Functionality (Catalyst 8510 MSR and
LightStream 1010)
Two types of feature cards are available for the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM switch
routers: FC-PCQ and FC-PFQ. Each card provides the required ATM Forum Traffic Management
features. FC-PCQ contains a subset of the FC-PFQ features, as described in Table 9-2.
Note To determine which feature card you have installed, enter the show hardware EXEC command. Either
FeatureCard1, for FC-PCQ, or FC-PFQ displays in the Ctrlr-Type column.
Shaping Per-port pacing, per-CBRV C, per-CBR transit VP, per-shaped
CBR VP tunnel (128 shaped VP tunnels total), and hierarchical
VP tunnels
Policing (UPC9)10 Dual leaky bucket
Frame mode VC-merge Supported
Point-to-multipoint VC
(multicast)
Multiple leafs per output port, per point-to-multipoint
Network clock switchover10 Programmable clock selection criteria
Nondisruptive snooping Per-VC or per-VP
Hierarchical VP tunnel Maxim um of 240 VP tunnels.
1. CBR = constant bit rate
2. VBR-RT = variable bit rate real time
3. VBR-NRT = variable bit rate non-real time
4. UBR = unspecified bit rate
5. ABR = available bit rate
6. EFCI = explicit forward congestion indication
7. RS = rate scheduling
8. WRR = weighted round-robin
9. UPC = usage parameter control
10. Performed by feature card
