15TB/SLOT SWITCH FABRIC CARD FOR EX9200

EX9200 Switch Fabric

The EX9200-SF3 and EX9200-SF2 Switch Fabric modules are hot- swappable and serves as the central non-blocking matrix through which all network data passes. The EX9200-SF2 supports 480 Gbps throughput per slot and the EX9200-SF3 supports 1.5 Tbps throughput per slot.

On the EX9204 and EX9208 switches, two EX9200-SF3 or EX9200-SF2 Switch Fabric modules deployed in a redundant configuration deliver up to 1.5 Tbps or 480 Gbps system throughput per slot, respectively. The Switch Fabric module installed first functions as the master, while the second serves as a backup.

On the EX9214, three EX9200-SF3 or EX9200-SF2 Switch Fabric modules deployed in a redundant configuration deliver 1.5 Tbps or 480 Gbps system throughput per slot, respectively. Traffic is load- balanced across the first two Switch Fabric modules installed, which together function as the master switch fabric, while the third serves as a backup.

Switch Fabric modules perform the following key functions:

• Monitoring and controlling systemfunctions
• Interconnecting all line cards
• Clocking and system resets
• Acting as Routing Engine carrier
