Overview
The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet module includes three hot swappable SFP transceiver offerings: SX, LX/LH, and ZX. The SX transceiver supports only Multimode Fiber (MMF) including both 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm diameters. Color-coded bail latches indicate the optical type: SX is black, LX/LH is blue and ZX is green. ZX transceivers have color-coded bail latches and labels.
The 8-port Gigabit Ethernet module attaches to the TSR via optical multi-mode short reach (1GigE 8P-SX) or multi-mode/single-mode long reach (1GigE 8P-LX/LH).
NOTE The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet is a Family 1 module.
The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet module can be visually identified by product ID numbers located on the faceplate. P8-GBE-SFP-R refers to the red module and P8-GBE-SFP-B refers to the blue module.
QSR Module Population Rules
Each QSR chassis provides a single chassis with 10 slots to house route controller and router modules. The chassis accepts one or two route controller modules and up to nine router modules in a one chassis system. Additional chassis may be populated with up to ten router modules. Route controller modules can reside only in slots 10 and 1 (S10 and S1). In a QSR chassis with only one route controller module, the route controller module must be installed in S10. Figure 1 shows QSR chassis slot numbering when viewed from the front of the QSR.
The software command show population designates router module population sequence. Use this command to determine where to install the router module in the chassis. Population rules must be followed when populating with Family 1 and Family 2 modules. Refer to Ipriori CLI Reference Guide (Vol. 1) for further information.
Figure 1. QSR Chassis Slot Numbering
Rules for populating a single QSR chassis are as follows:
- Install route controller modules in slots S10 and S1. The QSR accepts only NSR® Route Controller Modules.
- When only one route controller module is installed, install it in slot 10. Use slot 1 for a router or a filler module.
- Initial installation of two router modules is required in the first QSR chassis only.
- A module occupying a slot uses the slot number as its identifier.
- Every router module must be abutted by another router module, a route controller module, or a fabric filler module.
NOTE Remember, if installing modules in slots 5 and 6 only, slots 4 and 7 must contain a fabric filler module. The remaining empty slots must contain standard filler modules.
- For example, you plan to use only two router modules in the chassis and you install them in slots 5 and 6. Slots 4 and 7 must contain a fabric filler module.
- The remaining empty slots must contain standard filler modules.
- Or, your QSR contains a single route controller module in slot 10 and eight router modules in slots 2 through 8. Slot 1 must contain a fabric filler module.
- Fabric filler modules ensure multiple communications routes between installed modules.
NOTE Fabric filler modules differ from standard filler modules.
- Add a standard filler module to any empty slot in the chassis. During QSR operation, standard filler modules ensure proper cooling and eliminate electromagnetic interference.
- A module occupying a slot uses the slot number as its identifier.
- If installing the module in a cold chassis, follow the Population Rules outlined in the Quarter-rack Scalable Router Install Guide. The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet module is a Family 1 module.
- If installing the router module in a live chassis use the show population CLI command--specifying the module family--to identify the slot to populate.
Refer to Ipriori CLI Reference Guide (Vol. 1) for further information on this command and population with Family 1 and Family 2 modules. Online versions of the manuals are available at: www.avici.com/documentation.
CAUTION (1) When handling router modules, wear a grounded wrist strap or equivalent antistatic protection to prevent damage to electronic parts.
Populating Multiple Chassis
Population rules for a second chassis that you plan to connect to the first chassis are similar to the rules for the first chassis. However, you must install a minimum of two router modules in the second and subsequent chassis. After installing the first two modules, you can continue to populate the chassis one module at a time, following the population rules in the preceding section.
A secondary chassis does not require a route controller module and can house up to 10 router modules. Place the last router module in slot 10.
Completely fill the first QSR chassis with router modules before starting to populate a second QSR that you plan to connect to the first.
In a multiple-chassis system, a module is identified by the chassis number and slot number; for example, 1/10 is chassis 1, slot 10.
Antistatic Precautions
This section describes the procedure to prevent damage to the QSR system from static electricity.
CAUTION (2) When handling router modules, wear a grounded wrist strap or equivalent antistatic protection to prevent damage to electronic parts.
Use these precautions to prevent damage from static electricity:
- Do not handle modules unless you are using the appropriate antistatic protection, such as an antistatic wrist or heel strap and a conductive mat.
- When using an antistatic wrist strap, attach the cord to the appropriate ground jack
- Handle modules by outer enclosure only. Do not touch electrical connections, pins, or soldered surfaces.

Preparing to Remove a Router Module
Router module replacement requires shutting down the module via the CLI command line, disconnecting the cable connections, and removing the router module.
Routine router module removal requires the disconnecting of existing fiber optic cable connections. Router modules serving as Server Attached Modules (SAMs) require disconnecting fiber optic and Ethernet cable connections to the server module.
CAUTION (3) Within five minutes of removal of a module, a replacement module or filler module must be installed in the empty slot to ensure proper air flow within the system.
Removing a Router Module
Prior to removing a module you must shut down the module being replaced.
WARNING (1) This is a Class 1 laser product. Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture of the port when the fiber cable is disconnected. Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not look directly into open apertures.
PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to remove the Gigabit Ethernet module(s):
Step 1 Verify that the wrist strap you are wearing is properly grounded.
Step 2 Open the pull tab on the right cable tray and gently pull the right cable tray out of the router (see Figure 3 and Step 8).
Figure 3. Router Module Faceplate
Step 3 Disconnect the lower fiber optic cables from the fiber cable adapters (SC) on the right cable tray. Move the cables to one side to ensure that they do not interfere with removal of the router module (see Figure 4).
Figure 4. Router Module Cable Connections
Step 4 Gently push the right cable tray back into the module and close the cable tray pull tab.
- If the module is a SAM, proceed to Step 5, if not then skip to Step 6.
Step 5 Open the cable tray pull tab on the faceplate of the router module tray marked "AUX." Gently pull the cable tray partially out of the module until detent clicks (see Figure 5).
Step 6 Open the pull tab on the center cable tray and gently pull the cable tray out of the router until detent clicks (see Figure 5).

Step 7 Disconnect and undress the RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the tray marked "AUX" (see Figure 5). Hang the Ethernet cable down and out of the way, or tuck the cable into the horizontal cable tray under the module shelf.
Step 8 Gently push all cable trays to the closed position and close the cable tray pull tabs.
WARNING (2) This is a Class 1 laser product. Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the port aperture when the fiber cable is disconnected. Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not look directly into open apertures
Step 9 To unlock the ejector latches, simultaneously slide the release levers in the direction of the arrows (see Figure 6).
CAUTION (4) When the ejector latch release lever is in the open position, do not use the latch lever to remove the module or adjust the module in the card guides. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in equipment damage.
Step 10 To release the module from the backplane, simultaneously rotate the ejector latches to a fully open position and carefully pull the router out a few inches out of the shelf (see Figure 6).
Figure 6. Router Module Ejector Release Levers
Step 11 Hold the module in place with one hand at the bottom of case, then close the ejector latches by rotating them to the closed position and sliding the release levers in the direction of the arrows to lock the levers back into place.
Step 12 To remove the module, grasp it on the top and bottom and pull it carefully out of the shelf.
NOTE Do not rest the module on the cable trays during inspection. This could result in the breaking of the pull tabs on the cable drawers. (see Figure 3).
Step 13 Carefully inspect the Very High Density Metric (VHDM) connector for damage such as deformed sockets, holes between socket columns, and deformed guide fins on top and bottom of the socket columns (see Figure 7).
CAUTION (5) Any contact to a VHDM connector outside a QSR could damage the connector. A detailed inspection of the VHDM connector is required each time a module is removed or inserted. Lay the module gently on its side to perform a VHDM connector inspection.
Figure 7. VHDM Connector
.
NOTE If the VHDM connector has any signs of damage, DO NOT insert it into a QSR. Mark the module and slot as damaged and call TSR-BY-AVICI to request an Return Material Authorization (RMA).
Step 14 Before placing the module in a static-proof bag, replace the VHDM protective cap over the VHDM connector at the rear of the module. This will protect the pins while the module is not in the QSR (see Figure 15). Repackage according to RMA directions. Ship back to Avici.
Step 15 If the slot is not populated with a module, it must be filled with a filler module within five minutes.
Removing Fabric Filler or Filler Modules
The QSR systems ships with five (5) filler modules that ensure proper cooling and elimination of electromagnetic interference during operation and two (2) fabric filler modules that ensure a robust and reliable topology between modules. Remove filler modules or fabric filler modules from slots intended for router modules.
Removing Fabric Filler Modules
If the slot intended for the route controller is filled with a filler or fabric filler module, remove it using the procedure below.
To avoid damage to the backplane, perform a detailed inspection of the fabric filler module Very High Density Metric (VHDM) connector each time you remove or insert a module.
PROCEDURE: Use the following procedure to remove a fabric filler module:
Step 1 Verify that the wrist strap you are wearing is properly grounded or that other antistatic measures are in place.
Step 2 To unlock the ejector latches on the module, simultaneously do the following to both latches (see Figure 9):
- Press release levers in the directions indicated by the arrows on the latch.
- Rotate the ejector latches away from the module faceplate.
Figure 8. Opening Fabric Filler Module Latches
Step 3 Pull the module out of the chassis to unseat the backplane connectors.
Step 4 Carefully inspect the VHDM connector for damage such as deformed sockets, holes between socket columns, or distorted guide fins on the top and bottom of the socket columns (see Figure 9).
Figure 9. Fabric Filler Module VHDM Connector
.
CAUTION (6) If the VHDM connector shows any signs of damage, DO NOT insert it into a chassis. Mark the module as damaged and call TSR-BY-AVICI to request an Return Material Authorization (RMA).
Step 5 Close the ejector latch levers on the fabric filler module.
Removing Filler Modules
If the slot intended for the route controller is filled with a fabric filler module, remove it using the procedure below. Figure 10 shows a filler module.

Step 1 Use a 1/2-in. flat-blade screw driver to loosen the lock latch on the filler module.
Step 2 Pull the filler module out of the slot (see Figure 11).
Figure 11. Removing Filler Modules
Step 3 Store the filler module in a dry, cool area.
The 8-Port Gigabit Router Module
The 8-port Gigabit Ethernet module ships with a cable management bracket and an Ethernet dongle cable. If ordered, small form pluggable (SFP) hot swappable transceivers also ship with the module. Each numbered port has its own LED located on the faceplate to indicate operating status of each of the ports (see Figure 12). Once installed in a chassis, velcro fasteners on the fiber cable management bracket allows for ease of dressing and organization of fiber cables. The Ethernet port connection on the faceplate allows the module to serve as a Server Attached Module (SAM) as shown in Figure 12.
The 8-port module ships with Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) dust covers installed in each of the ports. After module installation, dust covers are removed and transceivers are installed. Then, the cable management bracket is attached to the module faceplate and fiber optic cables are installed.
Before beginning this procedure, carefully inspect the package to ensure no damage occurred during shipping or delivery. If you suspect any possible damage, contact Support Services (see "Support Services" ).
If this is an initial installation, proceed to "Installing Transceivers" . If transceivers are being installed after the installation of the cable management bracket, proceed to "Replacement or Later Installation of Transceivers" .
As with all other router modules, proper installation procedure must be followed.
Figure 12. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Module Faceplate
Transceiver Offerings
The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet module includes three hot swappable SFP transceiver offerings: SX, LX/ LH and ZX. See Table 1. The SX transceiver supports only multimode Fiber (MMF) including both 62.5/125 µm and 50/125 µm diameters. Color-coded bail latches indicate optical type: SX is black, LX/LH is blue and ZX is green (see Figure 13). ZX transceivers have color-coded bail latches and labels (see Figure 14).
NOTE A MODE-CONDITIONING CABLE IS REQUIRED FOR LX/LH APPLICATIONS OVER MMF, as per the IEEE 802.3 standard. A mode-conditioning cable should NOT be used for applications over single mode fiber.
* Assumes modal bandwidth quality cable equal to IEEE 802.3 standard.

Figure 20. Router Module Insertion - 4
Step 10 Slide the module in until the ejector latch tab slides into position behind the outer lip of the shelf (see Figure 19).
NOTE Do not push the module too far into the slot. The ejector latch tabs must not extend beyond the groove that forms the outer lip of the shelf.
Figure 21. Router Module Insertion - 5
Step 11 Simultaneously depress the release levers on the top and bottom ejector latches and rotate the ejector latch to the closed position (see Figure 21 and Figure 22). Release the release levers once the ejector latches are closed.
NOTE If the ejector latches will not close, reseat the module by pulling it six inches out of the slot and then repeating Step 7 through Step 11, making sure the module is not inserted too far into the slot. If the ejector latches still do not close after reseating the module, contact Avici Customer Support.
Figure 22. Router Module Insertion - 6
LEDs
The 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet module supports 18 LEDs on the faceplate (see Figure 23).
Board Status
The two top LEDs indicate "up" status of the board. During routing module POST, the red triangle shaped LED on the faceplate lights and remains lit until POST is completed. After completion of POST, the green square LED lights and blinks and the red LED is extinguished.
The solid green LED indicates that the module has passed POST.
If the red LED remains lit, POST has detected a nonrecoverable error or fault. If the red LED remains lit, remove and reseat the module to run POST again.
Port Status
The sixteen (two per port) bottom bi-color LEDs, indicate port status. These bottom LEDs consist of two pairs of LEDs: the left most LED (green or not lit) indicates port status and the right most LED (amber or not lit) indicates activity status, one set per port.
When the Gigabit Ethernet link is up, the left most LED will be steady green. If no light is present, the port is down. If the same leftmost LED is steady red, there is either a Remote Fault or Autonegotiation Error. A Remote Fault is usually caused by the transmit (TX) fiber of the link being broken or not connected. An Autonegotiation Error is caused by a mismatch or failure to resolve 802.3 Autonegotiation. This can be fixed by disabling Autonegotiation on both devices on the link.
Figure 23. 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Module LEDs
Installing Transceivers
When installation of the 8-port Gigabit module is complete, transceivers are installed into each of the ports intended for use. If installing transceivers after the cable management bracket is in place or if installing replacement transceivers, proceed to "Replacement or Later Installation of Transceivers" .
After installing transceivers, the fiber cable management bracket is attached to the module. Velcro straps on the fiber cable management bracket enable users to neatly dress the fiber optic cables.
If ordered, transceivers ship with the 8-Port Gigabit module in a clam shell case within the module shipping box. Before handling any transceivers, be sure to follow all anti-static precautions and wear the anti-static wrist strap while handling the transceivers.
CAUTION (8) Risk of electrostatic damage. When handling transceivers, wear a grounded antistatic wrist strap or equivalent protection to avoid damaging electrostatic parts.
Each 8-Port Gigabit module ships with EMI dust caps in place in the module ports (see Figure 25) which is removed before installation of fiber optics. When installing transceivers into the port slot cages, the transceiver must be installed with the blank side of the transceiver facing the LEDS side of the module faceplate (see Figure 24 and Figure 25).
CAUTION (9) Directions for the installation of transceivers must be followed exactly. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in equipment damage.
Figure 24. Transceiver Connector
PROCEDURE: Use the following procedure to install the transceivers in the 8-port Gigabit module:
Step 1 Remove the protective EMI dust cap from the port slot you intend to install the transceiver into (see Figure 25).
Step 2 Remove the transceiver from the clam shell package.
Figure 25. Removal of EMI Dust Cap from Port Slot
CAUTION (10) The blank side of the transceiver MUST face towards the LEDs on the module faceplate as shown in Figure 26. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in equipment damage.
Figure 26. Installation of Transceiver Connector
Step 3 Hold the transceiver with the blank side facing the LED side of the module faceplate (see Figure 26).
Step 4 Carefully slide the transceiver into the port slot making sure the blank side of the transceiver is facing towards the LEDs on the module faceplate (see Figure 26). The transceiver clicks into place in the module slot.
Step 5 Leave the transceiver cap on the transceiver until installing the fiber optic cables.
Installing the Cable Management Bracket
After installing the transceivers in the module, the cable management bracket is installed. Receptive screw holes in the module faceplate accept the captive screws of the cable management bracket. Velcro fasteners in the cable management bracket allow easy dressing and organization of fiber optic cables.
The cable management bracket is intended for cable management purposes only. The cable management bracket must be removed prior to removing the module.
Figure 27. Cable Management Bracket Installation
PROCEDURE: Use the following procedure to install the cable management bracket to the module:
Step 1 Remove the cable management bracket from its package.
Step 2 Position the cable management bracket as shown in Figure 27.
Step 3 Using a 3/8 in flat-head screwdriver, attach the bracket to the module faceplate by tightening the captive screws (see Figure 27).
CAUTION (11) The cable management bracket is for cable management purposes only. The cable management bracket must be removed prior to removing the 8-Port module. DO NOT use the cable management bracket to lift or carry the 8-Port Gigabit module. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in equipment damage.
Installing Fiber Optic Cables
The installation of fiber optic cables in the 8-Port Gigabit module follows the usual procedure for fiber optic installation. If all 8 ports are being connected, remove the transceiver cap and install the fiber optic cables in one port at a time. Transceiver caps should only be removed immediately prior to fiber optic cable installation.
WARNING (3) This is a Class 1 laser product. Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture of the port when the fiber cable is disconnected. Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not look directly into open apertures.
PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to install the fiber optic cables in the 8-Port Gigabit module:
Step 1 Remove the cap from the transceiver in the port slot (see Figure 28).
Figure 28. Removal of Transceiver Cap
Step 2 Remove cap from fiber optic cable connector and insert into transceiver in module (see Figure 29).
Figure 29. Installation of Fiber Optic Connector/Cable
NOTE If installing fiber optic cables into all 8 ports at once, begin at the bottom port (No. 8) and move upward to for ease of fiber management.
Step 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each fiber optic connection.
Step 4 Use the velcro fasteners on the cable management bracket to dress the fiber optic cables.
Figure 30. Dressing of Fiber Optic Cables
NOTE If this is a Server Attached Module (SAM) proceed with Step 5. If this is not a SAM, disregard Step 5 and Step 6.
Step 5 Position the Ethernet dongle cable on the Ethernet connector on the module as shown in Figure 31.
Step 6 Using a 1/8 in flat head screwdriver, tighten the two screws to secure the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the module (see Figure 31).
Figure 31. Server Attached Module (SAM) Installation
Replacement or Later Installation of Transceivers
If transceivers require replacement or are installed at a later date, use the following procedure to install the transceivers. Because space may be limited when replacing or installing new transceivers while a module is in use, the transceiver cap must be removed before installation. In addition, the bail latch on the transceiver must be opened during insertion into the port slot on the module faceplate.
PROCEDURE: Use the following steps when replacing or performing later installation of transceivers into the module faceplate:
Step 1 Remove the fiber optic connector from the transceiver port (see Figure 33).
Step 2 Carefully open the bail latch on the transceiver and slide the transceiver out of the port slot and place aside (see Figure 32 and Figure 33).
Figure 32. Transceiver Bail Latch (Open and Closed)

Configuring the Interfaces
Activating a Gigabit Ethernet Interface
PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to configure a Gigabit Ethernet interface:
Step 1 Use the show module command to display configured modules. If the 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet module is shut down, use the no shutdown command in module configuration mode to activate the module.
Step 2 Use the configure terminal command to enter configuration command mode.
Step 3 Use the interface command with the gbe key word and bay/slot/port location to enter interface configuration command mode.
Step 4 Optionally, modify the default settings.
Step 5 Optionally, configure a description for the interface using the description command.
Step 6 Configure the local address using the ip address command.
Step 7 Use the no shutdown command to activate the interface.
Step 8 Use the show interface command to display and verify the new interface configuration.
The interface Command
The interface command defines/deletes an interface.
Syntax: interface gbe bay/slot/port
gbe
Configures the interface to support gigabit Ethernet connections.
bay/slot/port
Identifies a specific interface on the QSR. Valid values are as follows:
bay: Bay number. Valid values 1 - 2. Default 1.
slot: Slot number where the module is installed in the QSR. Valid values are integers between 1 and 20.port: Valid values are 1 - 8.
Description: The interface gbe command defines a Gigabit Ethernet interface and enters the interface configuration mode. The interface is not usable as a routing interface until you use the ip address and no shutdown commands.
To configure a gbe interface:
Use the interface gbe bay/slot/port syntax to configure a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Default: No interfaces configured.
Command Mode: Configuration.
Example: In the following example:
- The interface gbe command configures a Gigabit Ethernet interface for bay 1, slot 1, port 1.
- The ip address command assigns the IP address 5.10.1.2 to the interface.
- The show interface gbe command displays the new setting:
router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
router(config)#interface gbe 1/1/1
router(config-if)#ip address 5.10.1.2 255.255.0.0
router(config-if)#no shutdown
router(config-if)#end
router#show interface gbe 1/1/1
