7210 SAS M, T, X, R6, R12, Mxp, S, Sx Interface Configuration Guide Page 11
Preface
About This Guide
All the variants of 7210 SAS-M, 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Mxp, and 7210 SAS-Sx 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 and 7210 SAS-Sx platforms 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 and 7210 SAS-Sx platforms uses IP/MPLS
to provide service transport.
The 7210 SAS-Sx can be operated in standalone mode and satellite mode. The user guide provides
features and CLI commands supported in 7210 SAS-Sx standalone mode of operations. Only the
Basics System Configuration User Guide contains information on how to boot the 7210 SAS-Sx in
satellite mode of operation.
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, 7210 SAS-Mxp, and 7210 SAS-Sx 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 and
7210 SAS-Sx platforms support 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
