The switch fabric modules (SFMs) work with the SRP module to create a shared memory fabric for the router. Each SFM module (Figure 6) has its own memory and power converter. Like the SRP module, the SFM module contains a fabric system processor board (slice). See Fabric Slices.

Note: You must use a SRP module that corresponds with the fabric type (SFM module) that is installed. For example, you can only use a SRP–100 module with a SFM-100 module. You cannot use a SRP–100 module with a SFM-320 module. |
