Preface

About This Guide

This guide describes system concepts and provides configuration examples to provision input/

output modules (IOMs), also referred to as cards, Media Dependent Adapters (MDAs), and ports

provided by 7210 SAS-M, T, X, R6, R12, and Mxp platforms.

On 7210 SAS devices, not all the CLI commands are supported on all the platforms and in all the

modes. In many cases, the CLI commands are mentioned explicitly in this document. In other

cases, it is implied and easy to know the CLIs that are not supported on a particular platform.

All the variants of 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, and 7210 SAS-Mxp can be configured in two

modes, that is in network mode and in access-uplink mode. In network mode configuration 7210

SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, and 7210 SAS-Mxp uses IP/MPLS to provide service transport. In access-

uplink mode configuration 7210 SAS-M and 7210 SAS-T uses Ethernet QinQ technology to

provide service transport. The mode can be selected by configuring the BOF appropriately.

The 7210 SAS-Mxp platform is configured only in Network Mode. The BOF does not allow the

user to configure bof-uplink mode. By default, the mode is set to Network mode. In network mode

configuration 7210 SAS-Mxp uses IP/MPLS to provide service transport.

This guide also presents examples to configure and implement various tests.

Notes:

• This user guide is applicable to all 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-R6, 7210 SAS-

R12, 7210 SAS-X, and 7210 SAS-Mxp platforms, unless specified otherwise.

• In either mode, it is expected that the user will only configure the required CLI parameters

appropriate for the mode that the user intends to use. Unless otherwise noted, most of the

configuration is similar in both the network mode and Access uplink mode.

• Only 7210 SAS-M and 7210 SAS-T supports access-uplink mode. 7210 SAS-Mxp

supports only Network mode. 7210 SAS-X, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12 does not

support access-uplink mode. 7210 SAS-X, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12 supports

only MPLS uplinks and implicitly operates in network mode.

• On 7210 SAS devices, not all the CLI commands are supported on all the platforms and in

all the modes. In many cases, the CLI commands are mentioned explicitly in this
