maintenance.
Board
Boards can be classified into the following types based on their position:
Front board
The front boards, located in the front of a subrack, can be classified into the
following types:
UPB: processes data and services by using the service applications running on
the board.
SWU: implements layer-2 network switching and optical switching.
SMU: manages the components in a subrack.
Back board
The back boards, installed back-to-back with the front boards, provide interfaces for
the front boards. The back boards can be classified into the following types:
USI: interface board of the UPB
SWI: interface board of the SWU
SDM: interface board of the SMM
Backplane
The backplane, located between the front boards and the back boards, transmits signals
between boards.

Hardware Structure
The structure of the T8280 subrack is described as follows:
The fan tray adopts the split design and consists of two layers. That is, each subrack
is configured with two fan trays. With this design, the failure in one fan tray does
not affect the heat dissipation of the entire subrack.
21/208
1/1/2015
The fan tray is located under the board slots. It consists of the frame, fan monitoring
board, and fans. It supports online maintenance and hot swapping.
The fan tray contains 6 fans [The size of each fan (H x W x D): 120 mm x 120 mm x 25.4
mm (4.72 in. x 4.72 in. x 1.00 in.)], which are arranged in three columns, each with
two fans. The fans are secured in the fan tray with screws.
Adopting the bottom-to-top ventilation mode, the fan tray draws air in from the intake
panels in the front and on both sides and exhausts air out through the upper and lower
air exhaust vents at the rear of the subrack.
The fans in the fan tray support N+1 redundancy. Thus, the failure of a fan does not
affect the operation of the entire subrack.
The fan tray is equipped with a fan monitoring board, which automatically controls the
rotation speed of the fans and generates an alarm if a fan fails.
The fan trays cool the components in the subrack. Figure 2 shows the direction of air flow in the
subrack.

Logical Structure
The board provides five interfaces named Update, Base1, Base2, Fabric1, and Fabric2. Figure 3
shows the positions of the five interfaces on the board.
Figure 3 Interfaces on the board
39/208
1/1/2015
In Figure 3, Base1 and Base2 are network interfaces of the Base plane; Fabric1 and Fabric2 are
network interfaces of the Fabric plane; the Update interface is used for the interconnection
between two UPBs.
The functions of the interfaces are as follows:
The Base plane is used for exchanging management and maintenance information such as
software loading and alarms. The Base interfaces (Base1 and Base2) on all UPBs are
connected to the Base interfaces on the SWUs in slots 6 and 7 through the backplane.
Thus, the UPBs in different slots can exchange data through the SWUs. Base1 of a UPB
exchanges data with Base1 of another UPB, and Base2 of a UPB exchanges data with Base2
of another UPB.
The Fabric plane is used for exchanging service data. The Fabric interfaces (Fabric1
and Fabric2) on all UPBs are connected to the Fabric interfaces on the SWUs in slots 6
and 7 through the backplane. Thus, the UPBs in different slots can exchange service
data through the SWUs. Fabric1 of a UPB exchanges data with Fabric1 of another UPB, and
Fabric2 of a UPB exchanges data with Fabric2 of another UPB.
The Update interface is used by a pair of active and standby UPBs to exchange data. The
Update interface of one UPB is connected to the Update interface of the mated UPB in
point-to-point mode through the backplane. Table 6 lists the one-to-one relations
between the UPBs. The data exchanged between the Update interfaces is transmitted
through the backplane, instead of the SWUs.

Functions
The SWU0 consists of an exchange carrier board and a GE daughter board and it provides the layer2 network switching, configuration restoration functions and device management functions, which
comply with the industry standards. The SWU0 is not hot-swappable.
The SWU0s are inserted in slots 6 and 7 in the subrack. They exchange network data with other
boards (including the SMMs) through the backplane, and provide service and cascading interfaces
through the SWI.
Network switching
The SWU0 provides the switching functions for the Base plane and the GE switching
functions for the Fabric plane. The two planes are independent of each other.
The SWU0 provides the following network switching functions:
Layer-2 full line speed switching supported by all the interfaces
Port bundling
IEEE802.3x auto-sensing and flow control supported by all the Ethernet
interfaces
Multiple gigabit interface standards (10/100/1000 BASE-T and 1000 BASE-BX)
Address learning
802.1Q virtual local area network (VLAN)
802.1D spanning tree and multiple spanning tree
Device cascading
Priority queuing on the output port
9 KB Jumbo frame
Device management
The SWU0 provides the following management functions:
Providing an independent Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) module and a
redundancy Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) for the SWU0 to manage
itself
The BMC module monitors the temperature and voltage of the board and reports
alarms, controls the power-on and power-off, hot swapping, and reset of the
board, and reports the board information to the SMM.
Managing the information about the Field Replaceable Units (FRUs), Sensor
Data Records (SDRs), and System Event Logs (SELs)
NOTE:
The BMC is the core of the IPMI standard. It collects, processes, and stores
the signals of all the sensors, and monitors the operating status of each
component.
FRUs refer to the units that can be replaced on site, such as the fan tray,
board, daughter board, and PEM. FRU information refers to the information
that is stored in the non-volatile memories of the FRU, such as the
122/208
1/1/2015
manufacturing information.
SDRs refer to the data recorded by the sensors, such as the temperature and
voltage. You can learn about the status of the system through the SDRs.
SELs refer to the system event logs, such as the reset of an FRU or
generation of an overtemperature alarm.
Configuration restoration
Configuration restoration enables you to apply the configuration data of the original
SWU to the new SWU through the SMM during the replacement of the SWU. Configuration
restoration involves the following functions:
Providing an option for selecting the configuration file to be loaded during
startup.
During the startup of the SWU0, if the configuration file of the SWU0 is
available on the SMM but is different from that on the SWU0, the SWU0
provides a menu for you to select the configuration file to be loaded.
You can load either the configuration file downloaded from the SMM or the
configuration file stored in the SWU0. If you do not perform any operation
within five seconds, the SWU0 automatically downloads the configuration file
from the SMM, and then starts the loading process.
Backing up the initial configuration file of the SWU0 automatically.
After you download the configuration file from the SMM and start the loading
process, the SWU0 automatically backs up the initial configuration file by
adding the extension .bak to the file.
Backing up the current configuration file of the SWU0 synchronously.
Every five minutes, the SWU0 checks whether the configuration file on the
SWU0 is the same as that on the SMM. If the configuration file is different,
and the size of the configuration file on the SWU0 is smaller than or equal
to 32 KB (but more than zero byte), the SWU0 synchronizes the current
configuration file of the SWU0 to the SMM. In other cases, the configuration
files on the SWU0 and the SMM remain unchanged.
If the configuration data has been saved by running the save command, and the
size of the configuration file on the SWU0 is smaller than or equal to 32 KB
(but more than zero byte), the SWU0 synchronizes the current configuration
file of the SWU0 to the SMM.

Logical Structure
The SWU0 provides all the layer-2 network switching functions for the subrack.
The SWU0 adopts a Base or Fabric plane of dual-star topology structure to implement interworking
between the system control plane and the service processing plane. Thus, the internal data
packets and control and management packets can be exchanged within the subrack at a high speed.
The BMC of the SWU0 reports the hardware status and alarms of the SWU0 to the SMM, so that the
SMM can manage the SWU0.

The board name is located on the upper of the board, as shown in Figure 2 (refer to 1). You are
advised to replace the faulty board with the spare of the same model. Table 3 describes the
replacement relationship of SWU0 boards.

Serial over LAN
Serial over LAN (SOL) is a function that allows a remote client and a serial port of a
board to establish a serial data transmission channel through the SMMD. The SOL channel
between the client and the board comprises the serial data over IP (SoIP) and serial
data over IPMB (SoIPMB), as shown in Figure 1. You can remotely manage various boards
through the SOL channel.
Figure 1 SOL channel
On the SOL channel, the SMMD performs the following functions:

Enabling or disabling the SOL connection
The SMMD can enable or disable an SOL connection.
Forwarding data
The SMMD can receive data from the network interface of the remote client,
and then send the data to the BMC of the board through the IPMB. It can also
forward data from the BMC to the remote client.
Controlling the number of clients connected through the SOL channel
The system supports a maximum of four concurrent online clients. When four
clients are already connected and the SMMD receives a new request, the SMMD
returns a message indicating that the number of connected clients has reached
the maximum.
Querying SOL connection information
You can query information about all the active SOL connections, including the
user names, IP addresses of the clients, and COM port numbers of the boards.
Ending an SOL connection when the timer expires
You can set the duration that the system allows for no operation on the
188/208
1/1/2015
client. If you do not perform any operation on the client for a certain
period, the SMMD terminates the SOL connection.
Online upgrade
The SMMD supports online upgrade and provides an interface for query.
NOTE:
The SMU can implement only one function among the SOL, KVM over IP, and online upgrade
functions at a time.
Performance
The performance specifications of the SMMD are as follows:
Supporting a maximum of 40 IPMBs
Adopting the dual-star IPMB to help improve the reliability, security, and
communication bandwidth of the device management subsystem
Providing multiple management interfaces, including command line interface
(CLI), web user interface (WebUI), simple network management protocol (SNMP),
and remote procedural calls (RPC)
Providing four 10/100M Base-T FE interfaces

If the new switch blade detects that its configuration file is different from the
configuration file on the SMME during a startup, the blade system displays a menu for
choosing a configuration file. You can load the configuration file on the SMME or use
that on the switch blade for startup. The blade system loads the configuration file on
the SMME if no operation is performed within 5 seconds.
Energy Conservation
The SMME allows users to customize energy conservation policies. Table 2 describes the
energy conservation policies and configurations.

up, remote blades can be operated on
Figure 1 SOL channel
The SMME performs the following functions on an SOL channel:

Enables the SOL connection.
The SMME can enable or disable an SOL connection.
Transmits data.
The SMME can read data from the client over a network port and send the data
to the BMC on a blade through the IPMB or send data read from the BMC to the
client.
Controls the number of clients that have set up SOL connections.
The system supports a maximum of 14 clients connected through SOL at the same
time. After receiving another connection request, the SMME displays a
message, saying that there are already 14 links, and the connection request
is ignored.
Queries SOL connection information.
Information about all active SOL connections can be queried, including the
user name, client IP address, and blade COM port number.
Releases timeout SOL connections.
The expiration time for an SOL connection can be set. The SMME releases the
SOL connection if no operation is performed on the client within the
196/208

expiration duration.
Online Upgrade
The SMME supports online upgrades and provides the query function.
NOTE:
One SMME can use one of the SOL functions, the KVM over IP function, and the online
upgrade function at the same time.
Performance
The SMME performance is described as follows:
Provides a maximum of 40 IPMB channels.
Uses dual-star IPMB buses to improve the reliability, security, and
communication bandwidth of the equipment management subsystem.
Provides multiple management modes, including the command line interface
(CLI), web user interface (WebUI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP),
and remote procedural calls (RPC).
Provides four 10/100 M BASE-T fast Ethernet (FE) network ports. Two network
ports connect to the switch blades through the backplane. One network port is
used to synchronize the operating status and data between two SMMEs. The
other network port is connected to the SMME panel or SDM panel, and
controlled by software.
Provides an RS232 serial port on the panel. It can be connected to the serial
port through the SMME panel or the SDM.
Provides the maximum power consumption as low as 18 W.
Supports active/standby failover. Data is synchronized between the active and
standby SMMEs through a dedicated IPMB and network port.
Complies with security protocols. The CLI mode supports Secure Shell (SSH).
The WebUI mode supports Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and Hypertext
Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS), and HTTPS is supported by default. The KVM
over IP function supports security connection protocols, such as Secure
Socket Layer (SSL).
Supports SNMP V1/V3, management information bases (MIBs), and SNMP trap.
Monitors the blade power consumption in real time and provides the
information.
Appearance
The two SMMEs communicate with each other through the intelligent platform management bus (IPMB)
and the synchronization network port to synchronize data and the operating status. Two SMMEs are
installed in the front lower part of a shelf. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show an SMME.

Logical Structure
A DIP package consists of eight switches. The eight switches represent eight binary digits (0 or
1). The leftmost position represents the most significant bit of the binary value and the
rightmost position represents the least significant bit. The 8-bit binary value ranges from
00000000 to 11111111, corresponding to subrack numbers 0 to 255. You can set the subrack number
based on actual conditions.
The switch in ON position represents 1 and the switch in OFF position represents 0. The following
204/208
1/1/2015
example describes how to set the DIP switches to identify subrack 1 and subrack 128.
Figure 4 shows the settings of the DIP switches for identifying subrack 1.
Figure 5 shows the settings of the DIP switches for identifying subrack 128.
Table 3 describes the mapping between the subrack numbers and the DIP switch settings.
NOTE:
The settings of the DIP switches of the two SDMs in the same subrack must be the same.
After a DIP switch of the SDM board is changed during the system running, the subrack
that houses the SDM board must be powered off and then powered on so that the changes
take effect. The subrack must be powered off when the traffic is light, for example, at
midnight, because services stop running during the power-off period.
