SCBE2-MX Fabric Planes and Redundancy
For the MX960:
•
Each SCBE2-MX provides two switch fabric planes for packet forwarding among the MPCs in the MX960.
•
The MX960 chassis may contain up to three SCBE2-MX's Therefore, six fabric planes are available.
•
Three SCBE2-MX’s are required for 2 + 1 redundancy.
•
In redundant fabric mode, four fabric planes from the first two SCBE2-MX’s will be in Active mode, and
two fabric planes from the third SCBE2-MX will be in Spare mode.
•
In a non-redundant fabric mode, all six fabric planes will be in Active mode to increase fabric bandwidth.
For the MX240 and MX480 routers:
•
Each SCBE2-MX provides four switch fabric planes for packet forwarding among the MPCs in the MX480
and MX240 chassis.
•
The MX480 and MX240 routers contain a maximum of two SCBE2-MX’s. Therefore, eight logical planes
are available.
•
Two SCBE2-MX’s are required for 1 + 1 redundancy.
•
In redundant fabric mode, four fabric planes from the first SCBE2-MX will be in Active mode, and four
fabric planes from the second SCBE2-MX will be in Spare mode.
•
In a non-redundant fabric mode, all eight fabric planes will be in Active mode to provide increased fabric
bandwidth.
•
Each fabric ASIC is configured in virtual plane mode, where two virtual planes exist on one fabric ASIC.
