ESP10 Faceplate & LED Indications

Faceplate LEDs sit on a small board, attached to the sheetmetal carrier but separate from the main ESP board, that is connected by a flex cable to connector J1L.

PWR (Power) LED:–Green = Board is powered–Off = not powered

STAT (Status) LED:–Red = no software booted–Yellow = ROMMON booted–Green = Diags/IOS booted

ACTV (Active) LED:–Green = IOS considers this to be

the Active ESP in a redundant system

–Off = Not Active ESP

STBY (Standby) LED:–Yellow = IOS considers this to be

the Standby ESP in a redundant system

–Off = Not Standby ESP

ASR 1000 Superior Application AvailabilitySolution Objective• Guarantee delivery of High Priority

Applications regardless of which features are enabled.

Solution Benefits• Guarantees High Priority

Applications always get forwarded up to entire system BW.

• Can clamp an arbitrary collection of Low Priority traffic to a certain BW

• Forms an integral part of all Enterprise solutions, the QFP Traffic Manager enables queue based operations without a performance hit.

• Non-queue ops (police, WRED, classifications etc.) are performed by PPE threads and are h/w accelerated

Keys to ASR 1000 (FCS h/w & s/w)– Flexible Hierarchies– 128K Queues

– All queues can have a Min. BW, Max & Excess w/ Priority Propagation

– 2 Priority queues per policy– Low 10s of usec of latency
