Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter

Configuration required on the SP system

Multiple frames for multiple system connections

SP Switch Router Adapter cards in an SP Switch Router can connect to different switch boards in the same SP system. A configuration problem could arise in which the SP Switch Router Adapter cards would be assigned the same node number if each card plugged into the same port position on each switch board.

The construct of a frame removes the configuration problem. The example below demonstrates the organization of three SP frames, 1, 2, and 3 with switch boards in each.

Figure 2-4. How frames enable connections to multiple SP Switches

Figure 2-4shows how the frame numbering differentiates each SP Switch Router connection:

–the SP Switch Router card connected to port J31 of SP Switch A1 is node number 9

–the SP Switch Router card connected to port J31 of SP Switch A2 is node number 25

–the SP Switch Router card connected to port J31 of SP Switch A3 is node number 41

The SP Switch Router card connected to port J15 of SP Switch A1 is node number 16.

You can now configure the SP Switch Router Adapter card(s).
