8692omSF module

Do not use any software prior to Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Release 3.6 with the 8692omSF CPU module. For more information, see Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using the Correct Software Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).

The 8692SF module is equivalent to the 8692omSF module. It can be used as Metro Ethernet switch fabric with the appropriate software. See Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Important Notice — Using the Correct Software Version for the 8692SF CPU Module (NN46220-404).

The 8692omSF module uses a CPU similar to the PowerPC CPU of the 8691omSF. The 8692omSF CPU has 256 MB of synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) for forwarding tables, and 56 MB of onboard flash memory for configuration, image and log file storage.

The 8692omSF is capable of supporting an optional Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU daughter card. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU daughter card is a mezzanine daughter card consisting of dual 1 GHz PowerPC processors. Installing the daughter card on an 8692omSF module offloads processor intensive tasks from the 333 MHz processor located on the 8692omSF CPU motherboard. The Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU daughter card is required for Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) services. For installation instructions, see Appendix "Installing the Metro Ethernet enhanced CPU daughter card" (page 135).

The flash memory is divided into two volumes: Volume/0 has a capacity of 16 MB and Volume/1 has a capacity of 40 MB. You can use either volume to store multiple file types, however, the 8692omSF module can only use either Volume/0 or Volume/1. By default, the system can only use 16 MB on Volume/0. If you want to use 40 MB on Volume/1, refer to the procedure for upgrading the flash memory to 40 MB in Nortel Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Upgrading — Software Release 4.1 (NN46220-402).

Using the SMLT protocol in the core, the Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 can provide over 1 Tb/s of core switching capability.
