Quidway® S6500 Multiservice Switch
Salience III Series Switch Engine
Overview
The switch engine is also called switching route board (SRPG). It is the core of the S6500
high-end multiservice route switch. Huawei launches the Salience III switch engine based
on 10G platform, which brings abundant functions for users. There are multiple types of
Salience III switch engine, Salience III Edge, Salience III and Salience III Plus. The user
can select it according to the actual service environment.
Salience III switch engine and the backplane of other service board connect the bus. It
reserves the GE bus of old version and is added with XGbus. It is completely compatible
with Line Processing Unit (LPU), saves the investment of user, supports the newly
developed service board based on XGbus uplink, provides a higher forwarding
performance and lowers the general cost of user.
In the service feature, the layer-3 virtual interface number of Salience III switch engine
increases to 1024. It supports the CF card, EPON OLT service card and L3+ advanced
service board (provide NAT, Netstream flow collection and statistics and policy route).
Main Characteristics
Advanced System Structure
The switching system based on Salience III switch engine is a layer-3 distributed
switching structure consisting of the central Crossbar on the switching engine, Crossbar in
the interface board and shared memory packet processor.
Each switching engineer includes multiple route engines and one or two large-capacity
Crossbars. The route engine is responsible for the route calculation and synchronization
of system. Crossbar is responsible for across-board service switching. Each interface

board includes the CPU control module, intra-board Crossbar and multiple packet
processor, for intra-board L2 and L3 distributed forwarding, traffic classification, ACL, QoS
and across-board switching between switch engine Crossbars. This distributed service
processing and switching structure improves the expandability of system switching
capacity and service on the one hand, and on the other it prevents the services from being
centralized or depending on some board greatly, eliminates the service processing,
isolates the network faults effectively and improves the reliability of system greatly.
It is based on the high-performance ASIC chip design and uses the maximum match and
packet-by-packet forwarding mode. On the basis of ensuring the line-speed performance
and low cost, it can defend the attack of red code and blaster worm from network. It is
pretty suitable for a large-scale multiservice network with complex traffic access and the
MAN development of Ethernet.
High Performance and Series Features
Salience III route switching engine is designed on the basis of 10 G platform. It supports
XGbus high speed bus and provides a maximum switching capacity of 768 Gbps. It
includes three models: Salience III Edge, Salience III and Salience III plus.
Salience III-Edge is a high cost performance switching engine. Although it cannot support
the XGbus service board, the 96 G bidirectional switching capacity can meet most
requirements of high performance and low commercial application.
As the major engine, Salience III is compatible with all GE bus uplink service boards. It is
configured with the XGbus uplink service board used in V200, applicable to most
occasions.
Salience III-Plus has the best cost performance and the excellent XGbus feature. It is for
high-performance distributed application. The system using the engine should mainly use
the XGbus uplink service boards. Otherwise, the actual switching performance may be
lower than the former two ones.
Salience III series switch engines provide multiple selections for the customer, which meet
different network construction requirements flexibly.

[1]: It is the specifications to be met after the load sharing is realized in the event of
configuring Salience III and Salience III Plus engines on S6506R switch.
1+1 Backup and Load Sharing Support
On S6506R one or two Salience III switch engines can be configured.
Each interface board is connected to the Crossbar on two main control boards through
two sets of bus, serving as the service data channel of interface board. Each interface
board is connected to the route engine module on the two switch engines through two
special channel, communicating with the route engine module on the main control board,
serving as the system management channel and implementing the management and
control function.
Between two switch engines are realtime status backup, synchronous communication
channel, active/standby indication, control signal and heartbeat signal to provide reliable,
smooth hot backup. The user can plug in or out the interface board as required. It will
not affect the service of other interface boards. The management system can detect and
recognize the interface board in real time and implement auto configuration, thus ensuring
that the existing service is available continually to the best degree. Moreover, when any
status change or fault is found in the realtime detection of the system power, notify the
administrator at once.
The two switching engines can work in the active/standby mode or load-sharing mode, as
follows:

1 Active/Standby mode: If the active board is faulty, the standby one takes its role
and the original active one turns into the standby one. The service channel and
management channel of interface boards switch over to the new active board
synchronously, thus realizing smooth switchover without affecting the service.
zBatch backup: After the standby board is started, the data between the active
board and the standby board are synchronized in batch and the data
between the active and the standby boards are consistent.
zRealtime backup: It is the process of synchronizing the status of active board
maintenance and change of data structure to the standby board in the
incremental mode after the batch backup.
zActive/Standby switchover: When the active board is faulty or forcible switch
occurs through the manual maintenance command, the protocol module on the
standby host takes the protocol module on the active one to work.
zData smoothness: After the active/standby switchover, the standby board takes
over the entire system as the main control board. It actively communicates with
the interface board, and confirms and synchronizes the hardware state, link layer
state and configuration data, ensuring that the data and state in the entire
system maintenance are consistent. This ensures the normal running of system
after the active/standby switchover.
2 Load sharing: The Crossbar of two service boards bears a half traffic respectively.
When one of them is faulty, the traffic to this main control board will switch over to the
normal one, that is, the main control board in normal running bears all traffic. Where,
the Salience III and Salience III plus engines support working in the load sharing
mode.
