Catalyst 4500E Architecture

• Shared memory switchPassive Backplane

• All forwarding, queuing, security is implemented on the Supervisor

• The individual line cards are considered to be ‘transparent’ and contain “stub” ASICs and the PHYs

• Upgrade advantages

• Each 47XX-Series line card has 48 Gbps full- duplex connections to the central forwarding engine

• IOS XE that can leverage multi-core CPU, and ability to host applications separately outside IOS context

• Only 1 copy of packet is stored in the packet buffer

• Packet header is replicated with pointer referenced into packet buffer

• 32MB of packet buffer => ~ 250ms of shared egress buffering

• 250Mpps multicast packet replication performance

• Non blocking bandwidth to 10G uplinks and 1G access ports

Catalyst 6880-X: Packet WalksRemote Forwarding (Ingress)

Step 1: Packet Arrives @ Ingress Port 1

Step 2: PHY converts the signal & serializes the bits, and then it

sends to Port ASIC

Step 3: Port ASIC parses packet to derive VLAN, CoS, etc. and

performs ingress QoS. Then it applies Internal Header and

sends to MUX ASIC

Step 4: MUX ASIC stores packet in local buffer, and may perform special packet encap /

decap. Then it sends to (1 of 2) FIRE ASIC

Step 5: FIRE ASIC stores data payload in local buffer, and then it sends only the Internal Header to

Forwarding Engine for Lookup

Step 6: Inband FPGA parses Internal Header, and then it sends

to Forwarding Engine

Step 8: Ingress FIRE ASIC uses new Internal Header to determine the Fabric Port mapped to Egress

Port, and converts Internal Header to Fabric Header. Then it sends to

Fabric ASIC

Step 7: Forwarding Engine performs L2, L3, ACL and Netflow IFE

& OFE processing and determines the Egress Port & Rewrite Info. Then

it returns new Internal Header to FIRE ASIC

(via Inband FPGA)

Step 9: Fabric ASIC uses Fabric Header to determine

Egress Fabric Port and then it sends to Switch Fabric


Catalyst 6880-X: Packet WalksRemote Forwarding (Egress)

Step 12: Inband FPGA parses Internal Header, and then it sends to

Forwarding Engine

Step 13: Forwarding Engine performs an egress (L2) lookup to

learn MAC address. Then it returns Internal Header to FIRE

ASIC (via Inband FPGA)

Step 15: MUX ASIC uses Internal Header to determine Egress Port

and perform egress QoS. Then it sends to Port ASIC

Step 16: Port ASIC removes Internal Header and rewrites VLAN, CoS, etc.

Then it sends to PHY

Step 17: PHY serializes the bits & converts signal, and then

transmits the packet

Step 18: Packet Leaves @ Egress Port 16

Step 14: FIRE ASIC uses new Internal Header to determine Egress Port and reassemble the packet, and then it

sends to MUX ASIC

Step 11: FIRE ASIC uses Fabric Header to derive new Internal header, which it sends to Forwarding Engine

(egress lookup)

Step 10: Fabric ASIC transmits frame to Egress Fabric Port, which is received by

Egress FIRE ASIC

ISR 4451-X Boot SequenceAC Power

Connected• Power Supply LED is green when line power is present.

Power Switch in the “ON” Position

• PWR LED turns yellow when the internal power rails receive power.

FPGA Configuration

• PWR LED blinks yellow when the FPGA is programmed but not ready to boot the system.

• PWR LED turns solid green when the FPGA boots the system.

ROMMON Loads

• STAT LED blinks yellow with PWR LED green as ROMMON boots.

• STAT LED turns yellow when the ROMMON prompt is available.

IOS XE Boots • STAT LED turns solid green when IOS XE is up.

Boot Differences from the ISR G2• Adds a status display during BIOS portion of booting:

Initializing Hardware ...

• Supports “secure boot” and displays status on every boot.

System integrity status: 00000610Rom image verified correctly

• CLI commands follow the ASR command set and not the traditional ISR set. Differences are subtle.

• The command “boot tftp:” replaces “tftpdnld –r”• Support for copying an image from the network onto a flash (i.e. tftpdnld without

the “-r” switch) is not available.• “Ping-Pong” mechanism for upgrading replaces Golden/Upgrade method.• Removes support for selecting which ROMMON is the running ROMMON (relates to

the removal of the Golden/Upgrade concept)
