Description | The MX2000 Enhanced Switch Fabric Board (SFB2; model number: MX2000-SFB2-S) provides increased fabric bandwidth per slot. MX2000 line of routers can support eight Switch Fabric Boards (SFB) and eight Enhanced Switch Fabric Boards (SFB2) but not both at the same time. The SFB2 is supported on MX2010 and MX2020 routers. Refer to Figure 1. Note: During an upgrade from SFB to SFB2, the MX2000 line of routers support both SFB and SFB2 at the same time for the duration of the upgrade. |
SFB2 Features and Components |
|
SFB2 Slots | You can install up to eight SFB2s in the MX2000 router. The SFB2s install vertically into the front of the chassis in the slots labeled 0 through 7. If any slots are empty, you must install a blank panel. Caution: If one of the SFB2s fails, do not remove the failed SFB2 until you have a replacement or blank panel to install. |
SFB2 Redundancy | Seven of eight SFB2s are required for line rate operation. The system can continue operating with fewer than seven SFB2s, but forwarding performance will be impacted. |
