Table 6 lists the management modules for the FSX 800 and FSX 1600.
512 MB SDRAM enables support for large routing tables (1,000,000 BGP routes) with the full Layer
3 code.
The IPv6 management modules ending with -PREM provide additional support for full Layer 3 IPv4
routing protocols. The IPv6 management modules ending with -PREM6 provide additional support
for full Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols.
The FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules perform the following tasks:
• Control the hardware components
• Control the separate switch fabric modules
• Run the networking protocols
• Provide the real time operating system
FSX 800 management modules are located in slots 9 and 10, just above the switch module slots
(refer to Figure 4).
FSX 1600 management modules are located in slots 9 and 10 along the center of the chassis
(refer to Figure 6).
