Introduction to installation and configuration

The SP Switch Router functions as an IP router to provide high-speed data communication links between SP processor nodes and external networks/hosts. The SP Switch Router Adapter media card connects to the SP Switch board in an SP system as shown in Figure 2-1.

The SP Switch Router Adapter card also transmits data to/from other types of media cards across the SP Switch Router’s internal switch core. These media include HIPPI, HSSI, FDDI, ATM OC-3c, ATM OC-12c, SONET OC-3c, and 100Base-T (Fast Ethernet).

The SP system manages the SP Switch Router Adapter card as a dependent node, under the control of the SP SNMP Manager running on the SP control workstation and the primary node of the SP Switch.

Once powered on and started up, the SP Switch Router can be configured and managed remotely, via a site’s administrative network, including Telnet from the SP control workstation. Information about procedures performed from the SP control workstation are found in the “Managing Extension Nodes” chapter in the PSSP Administration Guide.
