Photo report on the life of a single switch
Here we talked about the arrival, unpacking and installation features of the Black Diamond X8 switchboard elements.
After installing and passing a successful multi-stage testing, this switch works for the benefit of the Ukrainian Internet community. We decided to see how he lives.
')
These “blank panels” are not just stubs, they have a very important functional role. They are also additional ribs, and most importantly, they take part in the redistribution of internal air flows, due to which the connected optical modules are cooled.
And everything looks simple enough).
By the way, earlier these panels had to be bought separately (the switch is not supplied with them by default, which will be discussed in the video). Now the manufacturer has adjusted its policy and, buying, for example, three line cards, five panels for empty slots are included in the supply for free.
Here everything is as before, the orthogonal principle of connecting line cards and module factories.
The card is included in the switching matrix.
On the right is free space for installing the module's backup factories.
The same factory connector that provides 320 Gbps performance per line card.
The new VIM3 cards released to support the 40GE interfaces on the Summit X650 and Summit X480 switches allow customers to retain previously made investments by upgrading their infrastructure.
The 40GE optical and copper QSFP + interfaces have the same performance, respectively.
Blue LEDs symbolize that the port is operating in 40GE mode, it is possible to configure the port operation mode as 4 * 10GE, then all four will turn green.
Ports of traffic exchange participants.
Perhaps opening this article your request went directly through one of these ports)
I would not like to text a lively, interesting speech of a person or repeat other people's words, so here is an interview with Sergey Polishchuk, who is the ideologist of UA-IX.
In an interview, he answered a lot of interesting questions: why exactly did they put it? As it showed itself and a lot of technical details. For example, the story that Poland and Bulgaria looked at this experience and also began installing Extreme Networks equipment.
How exactly did the installation and testing of equipment and a lot of technical details .
If you want to watch HD video you need to click
and choose 720, as the default YouTube any video shows in 360.
Disclaimer: yes, there were technical problems at the access point, but they were resolved, no need to be reminded in the comments.
Here is the whole scheme of the traffic exchange point and the participation of the switch in it.
Maximum purple per square meter of data center.
And many free slots for installing long-awaited interfaces 100GE
All of this can be managed from the desktop.
Thanks to Sergey for the opportunity to see the equipment in operation.
