Introducing the GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus Chassis

The fully-assembled GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus chassis consists of a 1RU, rack-mountable chassis with management, network, and tool ports at the front and power connections and fans at the rear. Front View of GigaVUE-HC1P Chassis   summarizes the bays and components at the front and Rear View of GigaVUE-HC1P Chassis summarizes the rear of the GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus chassis.

Note:  The CLI recognizes the MGMT port as eth0, the MGMT 2 port as eth2, and the MGMT 3 port as eth1.

Note:  The GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus chassis arrives from the factory with power supply modules and fans installed. The GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus modules are shipped separately. Refer to Unpacking the GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus Shipment for assembly instructions.

 

 

Table 3: GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus Chassis Components

Front Components on the GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus Chassis

Module Bays

The base chassis is in the center and numbered 1. Slots (bays) are numbered 2-3 from left to right.

Base Chassis

The GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus includes a base chassis which holds the management and processing components installed inside the unit. It is located in the center of the front of the chassis.

Note:  The base chassis is not hot-swappable.

The base chassis also controls the Mgmt port and console port on the front of the node for network and local administrative access to the GigaVUE‑OS command-line interface (CLI). The base chassis provides 4x100G/40G ,8x25G/10G/1G support. The default port speed is 100G/10G which is denoted with C/X.

Every group of four ports (quad) can be configured as 25Gb. In one quad, there cannot be a mix of 10Gb and 25Gb ports. By default, all eight ports are configured as 10Gb ports. To configure 25Gb, you must configure the port speed as follows: (config) # port 1/2/x1..x4 params admin enable (config) # port 1/2/x1..x4 params speed 25000

Refer to GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus Base Chassis for more information.

Management Ports

The Ethernet port supports remote connections to the GigaVUE‑OS using SSH .

Console Ports

Initial configuration is performed in the CLI over the serial RJ-45 Console port. Serial Console port accepts terminal connections for configuration of GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus settings, including time, network, and SNMP settings.

Pseudo-Slots

GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus supports pseudo-slots . The mapping of pseudo-slots is as follows:

Pseudo-slot 1 – 1/1/c1..c4,1/2/x1..x8,1/2/c1..c4

Pseudo-slot 2 – 1/1/x1..x8,1/3/x1..x8,1/3/c1..c4

To view the CLI output of above use the command show pseudo-slot portmap box-id

Power Supply Modules

The GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus includes two separate power supply modules already installed at the rear of the node. Each power supply module can independently operate the GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus for 1+1 system redundancy and are hot swappable. Separate AC and DC power units are available.

Refer to Power Requirements for information on power characteristics of the GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus.

Refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal) for more information on hot-swapping the module.

SMT-HC1A-R GigaSMART Module

The fixed rear GigaSMART line card comes with 2.0 GHz capability. The ports in this module are compatible with all features that are supported by GigaVUE HC Series platforms.

Fan Trays

The fan trays installed at the rear of the node provide system cooling. Fan trays are also hot-swappable. Refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal) for more information on hot-swapping the module.

Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT)

The Hardware Root of Trust is a solution that intends to seek the root of trust in the system with the help of secure micro-controller, highly resistant to attacks and provide most robust form of IP security with multiple level of key verification during power on.

To configure the HRoT solution refer GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.
