Sun Microsystems CP3240 manual Features, General

2.1Features

Part of Sun’s ATCA platform, the Sun Netra CP3240 switch complies with PICMG

3.0R2.0 ECN002 and PCIMG 3.1 Option 1 and Option 9. The Sun Netra CP3240

switch implements two separate switched networks on a single PCB. By separating the Base and Fabric networks, the Sun Netra CP3240 switch provides a separate control plane and data plane. It provides 1Gigabyte Ethernet switching on the 3.0 Base Fabric, and the 3.1 Expansion Fabric provides 1Gigabyte/10Gigabyte Ethernet switching. Both of these networks are fully managed with the robust FASTPATH management suite. Both networks support Layer 2 switching as well as Layer 3 routing.

The Sun Netra CP3240 switch can host three AdvancedMC mid-size modules. A variety of different AMC types can be used, including AMC.1, AMC.2, and AMC.3. Netra CP3240 switch supports connectivity to three AMCs and to RTMs with multiple 10Gigabyte-Ethernet links.

The XCP3240H-RTM-CU-Z (copper) and XCP3240H-RTM-OP-Z (fiber optic) are Sun’s RTMs that are paired with the Sun Netra CP3240 switch.

The following sections briefly outline the features of the Sun Netra CP3240 switch.

2.1.1General
