The CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch is powered on and configured
according to the stages shown in Table 7.
Redundancy in the
CoreBuilder 7000
Family ATM Switch
The CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch is designed to meet the
requirements of environments where network interruptions cannot be
tolerated. The CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch platform has a fully
redundant design, with dual load-sharing power supplies and redundant
switching engines. All CoreBuilder 7000 family interface cards and
switching engines are hot swappable to ensure continuous operation
during configuration and servicing.
For information about determining the required power supply for various
CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch installations and providing
redundancy for various power loads. See “Redundant Power Supply” on
page 85.
For information about using the redundant switching module, see
Chapter 10 in the Operations Guide.
In addition to hardware redundancy, the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM
switch also provides redundant LANE services which are managed by the
Transcend Network Management System. Each switch contains a
complete set of LES and LECS functionality. In case of failure, LANE
services can be transferred to another CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM
switch elsewhere in the network.
Troubleshooting
This guide contains a number of troubleshooting procedures for solving
common problems. For information about troubleshooting, see
