The Processor Switching Module
The Processor Switching Module
This section first describes how to activate and configure the card-level parameters, lines, and ports
on the PXM uplink card then describes how to add connections to the PXM in a stand-alone node.
The descriptions tell you how to:
• Optionally modify the resource partitioning at the card level.
• Activate a line on the uplink card. On a stand-alone node, you can activate more than one line if
the uplink card has multiple lines. One physical line must be the trunk to a network routing node.
• If the switch has a pair of SRMs for bulk distribution and you use the CLI rather than the
CiscoView application, activate the SRM lines from the PXM.
• Optionally modify the resource partitioning at the port level.
• Create logical ports.
• On a stand-alone node, specify the cell header type. UNI cell headers typically apply where a
workstation connects to a UNI port on the uplink card rather than a port on the PXM-UI card.
Such an implementation is not common.
• On a stand-alone node, add standard connections and optional management connections.
• On a stand-alone node, configure Automatic Protection Switching (APS).
• For a feeder, execute steps on the connected BPX 8600-series switch to make the feeder an
available resource in the network.
Note For a description of the bit error rate test (BERT) functions, see the section titled “Bit Error
Rate Testing Through an MGX-SRM-3T3.”
