About the Route Insight Manager Appliance
Route Insight Manager is a route analytics tool that provides insight into real-time
routing topology and monitors vital service parameters such as network churn and
prefix flaps, alerting you to potential problems and allowing before and after
comparisons and event analysis.
Route Insight Manager appliances are easy to deploy. The appliances physically
connect to the network directly to one of the routers or through a switch or hub. The
appliances establish communication with several routers in the network through the
routing protocol over the single physical connection. Link-state routers send periodic
update messages that communicate network information to each other, and to the
appliance.
You can monitor and record network events in different parts of the network with
multiple route recorder units. The distributed recorders collect routing data locally,
from the area where they are installed, through generic route encapsulation (GRE)
tunnels, or both. A centralized Management Console retrieves the data from each
recorder. For a description of recorder configuration, see the “Configuration and
Management”chapter in the Route Insight Manager Administrator’s Guide.
Front and Back Panel Overview and Features
The Route Insight Manager appliance is shown in Figure 1 on page 3 and has a 2U
rack-mountable chassis with optional redundant AC and DC power supplies, a 2U

■Fans on page 6
Hard Drive
The Route Insight Manager appliance ships with hot-swappable hard disks to offer
component redundancy. The appliance has a RAID10 configuration of six 500 GB
SAS drives (5001) or four 1TB SAS drives (5002). Redundant disks maintain a copy
of the software image and configuration information as it is on working drives. If the
working drive fails, the redundant drive immediately assumes responsibility for Route
Insight Manager operations. You can hot-swap the disk if any one of the disk drives
fails. The drives are externally accessible.
Redundant array of independent disk (RAID) is an organization of multiple disks to
enhance fault tolerance and performance. It is used in the servers for data storage
and to replicate data among multiple hard disk drives. There are different RAID levels
designed to increase data reliability and increased I/O performance. In RAID10,
drives are striped for performance, and all striped drives are duplicated for fault
tolerance.
The key concepts in RAID are:
■Mirroring - copy data to more than one disk
■Striping - split data across more than one disk
■Error correction - redundant data storage to detect and resolve problems
The hard drive LEDs are described in Table 3 on page 5.

Power Supply
The appliance has a dual hot swap redundant 560W AC power supply module, and
can support additional redundant power supply modules. If one power supply fails,
an optional second power supply can assume responsibility for the entire power
load. The appliances also have a hot swap dual redundant 560W DC power supply

Rack Requirements and Specifications for a Route Insight Manager Appliance
The Route Insight Manager appliance can be installed in many types of racks, including
four-post Telco racks and open-frame racks. Table 4 on page 6 lists the rack
requirements.
Table 4: Route Insight Manager 500 Rack Requirements
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Use a front mount rack, four-post rack (Telco), or a
center-mount rack.
Rack type
■Ensure that the rack complies with one of these
standards:
■A 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks,
Panels, and Associated Equipment (document
number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics
Industry Association (http://www.eia.org).
■A 600-mm rack as defined in the four-part
Equipment Engineering (EE); European
telecommunications standard for equipment
practice (document numbers ETS 300 119-1
through 119-4) published by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute
(http://www.etsi.org).
The horizontal spacing between the rails in a rack
that complies with this standard is wider than
the appliance’s mounting brackets, which
measure 19 in. (48.2 cm) from outer edge to
outer edge. Use approved wing devices to narrow
the opening between the rails as required.
■Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks
allow for the proper clearance around the appliance
and rack.

GuidelinesRack Requirement
■Secure the rack to the building structure.
■If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical
area, secure the rack to the floor.
■Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall
or floor brackets if maximum stability is required.
Rack connection to building
structure
One pair of mounting brackets is supplied with the appliance. The holes in the
mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.445 cm), so the appliance can be
mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in.
(48.2 cm), and the front of the chassis extends approximately 0.5 in. (1.27 cm)
beyond the mounting brackets. The spacing of rails and adjacent racks must also
allow for the clearances around the appliance and rack.
Environmental Requirements for a Route Insight Manager Appliance
The appliance must be installed in a rack or cabinet housed in a dry, clean,
well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Ensure that these environmental guidelines are followed:
■The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents
and filters, reducing the efficiency of the appliance cooling system.
■Maintain ambient airflow for normal appliance operation. If the airflow is blocked
or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, the appliance might overheat.Table
