SRX5600 Services Gateway Switch Control Board Components

Each SCB consists of the following components:

  • Chassis management Ethernet switch.
  • I2C bus logic, used for low-level communication with each component.
  • Component redundancy circuitry.
  • Control Board/Routing Engine mastership mechanism.
  • Gigabit Ethernet switch that is connected to the embedded CPU complex on all components.
  • Switch fabric—Provides the switching functions for the I/O Cards (IOC)s.
  • Control FPGA—Provides the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface to the Routing Engine.
  • 1000Base-T Ethernet controller—Provides a 1-Gbps Ethernet link between the Routing Engines.
  • Ethernet switch—Provides 1-Gbps link speeds between the Routing Engine and the IOCs.
  • Circuits for chassis management and control.
  • Power circuits for the Routing Engine and SCB.
  • LEDs—Provide status.
