20. C1048P rapid access node – detailed
C1048P rapid access node
• 1RU
• 48 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports
• Two SFP+ ports
• Two fixed 21Gbps stacking ports (stackable
up to 8 units)
• Internal 1000W power supply
• Utilizes MPS1000 for power redundancy
• Uses Broadcom Helix4 switching silicon
• Requires C9010 to operate
• Provides no local switching
(switching/routing is provided by the C9010)
21. Configuration
Step 1 – Configure the C9010
Step 2 – Pre-provision ports on the line
cards that will connect to rapid access
nodes
• PE ID
• PE Type
• Any other config (Qos, etc.)
Step 3 – Power up C1048P
• Boots from FLASH
• Elects its role in stack
• Forms/joins stack
Step 4 – Connect C1048P uplink(s) to pre-
provisioned ports on the C9010
22. Plug & play
Step 5 – C1048P sends PE TLV on the
uplink(s)
Step 6 – Once C9010 detects PE TLV, it
advertises PE provision information for
C1048P to accept
Step 7 – C1048P configures itself and
becomes operational
Step 8 – C1048P performs no local
switching, but provides:
• PoE+ power
• QoS
• Loop detection
