T1600 Switch Interface Board (SIB) Description
SIBs create the switch fabric for the T1600 Core Router. Each T1600 router contains five SIBs located at the center rear of the chassis in the slots labeled SIB0 through SIB4 (top to bottom). One of the five SIBs acts as a backup to the remaining four SIBs. If a SIB fails, the backup SIB becomes active, and traffic forwarding continues without any degradation. When the failed SIB is replaced, it becomes the new backup. SIBs are hot-insertable and hot-removable.
The T1600 router supports these SIBs:
- The T1600-SIB is supported in Junos OS Release 8.5 and
later.
Note: The T1600 is SIB is required for a standalone T1600 router.
- The TXP-T1600 SIB is supported Junos OS Release 9.6R2
and later.
Note: The TXP-T1600 SIB is required for connection to a TX Matrix Plus router.
