THE 7950 XRS-40 HAS ARRIVED! SIMPLE, ELEGANT AND EFFICIENT SCALING Designed as a multichassis system from the very beginning 16 Tb/s 32 Tb/s Switch fabric modules have integrated optical backplane interconnects, extends single stage switching fabric across multiple chassis Same control processing technology and system management interface Uses common chassis components Minimal downtime when upgrading the system Flexible scaling options, completely additive without replacing components Deploy an XRS-20 Upgrade an existing XRS-20 to an XRS-40 Deploy an XRS-40 from the start 7950 XRS-20 7950 XRS-40 Double the XRS-20 System Capacity With Minimal Overhead 6
7950 XRS CHASSIS INTERCONNECTS Chassis interconnects are provided as custom cable bundles with staggered and numbered fiber cables 8 SFMs on master chassis connect to 8 SFMs on the extension chassis Integrated MPO connectors and 100 Gb/s CXP optics Each SFM interconnect uses 14 cables 2 CPMs on master chassis connect to 2 CPMs on the extension chassis Integrated MPO connectors and 40 Gb/s QSFP+ optics Provides redundant high-capacity control plane interconnect Easy installation and troubleshooting with LED indications for wrong cable connections Patent-pending interconnection diagnostics and connection health monitoring SFM CPM 7
7950 XRS SINGLE STAGE SWITCH FABRIC Optimized single stage switch fabric avoids complexity and scheduling issues of multistage fabrics 7950 XRS fabric design uses the same architecture on the XRS-20 and XRS-40 Simple architecture, simple to understand and to debug Fewer components consume less power Higher reliability with fewer components to fail Simpler hitless routing around failures Delivers full slots capacity to line cards, each XMA connects to all SFMs in each chassis XRS-40 switch fabric provides 14+2 redundancy with graceful degradation Cells are distributed over all available switch fabric links to all switch fabric chips Fabric component or link failures are easily handled while maintaining performance 8
EXTENDING THE 7950 XRS-20 TO THE XRS-40 ONE SYSTEM, TWICE THE CAPACITY The extension chassis is managed and controlled through the master chassis to provide an integrated view Presented as a seamless single system with additional slots 20-slot system becomes a 40-slot system Provides contiguous slot and component numbering Simplifies system management and high availability LCD screens identify Master and Extension systems and the numbering for slots Cable Tray Cable tray labels identify the numbering for components in the rear 9
