The SRU consists of main processing unit (MPU), switching fabric unit (Fabric) and clock
module (CLK). As the core of system control and management, SRU also serves as system
clock source and maintenance and management unit. It implements the functions of the
control plane, switching plane and system maintenance plane.
Below follows a description of functions.
I. MPU
zProcess routing protocols, generate and sent forwarding tables to line
boards.
zConduct system management and performance monitoring as commanded
and feed back the information of system running to the operator.
zMonitor and maintain the running of LPU.
zMonitor and maintain the running of Fabric and CLK.
zMonitor the running of the fan system and power system.
II. Fabric
zSupport non-blocking and automatic routing data exchange.
zSupport dynamic sharing of output buffer.
zSupport multi-priority switching.
zSupport multicast switching.
zSupport hardware flow control and back pressure.
zThe temperature sensor tests the temperature of the SRU. It can also collect
and report temperature information and generate related alarms.
III. CLK
zProvide a standard level-3 synchronization clock with the clock reference
source (2048 Kbit/s or 2048 KHz).
zSupport clock priority.
zHave four working modes: fast tracking, normal (tracking), hold and free-run.
zHave rough tune and fine tune function, realizing on-site frequency
adjustment.
zEnable synchronization performance detection, alarming and control.
Specifications
At present, the NE40 provides three types of SRUs, including CR-SRUB, CR-SRUC and
CR-SRUE.
Compared with first-generation SRUs of CR-SRUB and CR-SRUC, CR-SRUE demonstrates
much better performance. CR-SRUB and CR-SRUE are applicable to NE40-8, NE40-4 and
NE40-2, while the CR-SRUC is only applicable to NE40-2.
In addition, the CR-SRUE provides 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface while CR-SRUB and
CR-SRUC provide 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface.
