SwitchBlade x3112 Installation Guide
If you press the RESET button with two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control
Cards installed, the role of the active controller is “swapped” with the
inactive controller. This means that the inactive controller becomes the
active controller and the active controller becomes the inactive or standby
controller. During this process, the switch management function is
swapped to the new active controller. In this case, the inactive
AT-SBx31CFC becomes active immediately, and consequently, the
Ethernet line cards are not affected or reset.
Caution
With two AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Cards installed, the
switching fabric circuitry on each line card is shared. When you
press the RESET button, the Ethernet network traffic flow through
the switch is limited to 200 Gbps for up to two minutes. This is the
time required for the inactive AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card to
reboot and for its switching fabric circuitry to become available again
for switching network traffic.
Note
The RESET switch is specifically provided for resetting the
AT-SBx31CFC Fabric Control Card. If you want to swap the
controller function between the active and standby AT-SBx31CFC
Fabric Control Cards, Allied Telesis recommends that you use the
SWAP commands provided in the Switchblade x3112 Management
Software. Refer the to the Software Reference for SwitchBlade
x3100 Series Switches on the ATI web site for specific information.
Network
Management
Port
The Network Management (NET MGMT) port is an RJ-45, 10/100/1000
Ethernet port. See Figure 8. This port provides an Ethernet interface for
remote management of the SwitchBlade x3112 Switch. Because this port
is intended to be connected to the network, you can connect an Ethernet
cable between the Network Management port and one of the Ethernet line
cards in the chassis. This provides a connection to a remote management
device or PC on the network via the AT-SBx3112 line cards.
