System Overview
The SmartEdge 100 router is a carrier-class product with an architecture that supports packetized traffic.
The SmartEdge 100 router can be used as an edge aggregation router and simultaneously as a broadband
remote-access server (BRAS) to directly connect customers to the network. It supports a variety of
interfaces and vital services, such as routing protocols, quality of service (QoS), and inbound and outbound
access control lists (ACLs). New services can easily be added with software upgrades.
Because of the optimized packet forwarding capabilities and support of high-bandwidth uplink interfaces,
the SmartEdge 100 router can also be used in the metropolitan core to aggregate traffic from other routers
into the long-haul transit core. The SmartEdge 100 router supports a wide variety of interfaces, such as
Ethernet 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, 1000Base-FX, and 1000Base-T.
System Components

System Components
1-2 SmartEdge 100 Router Hardware Guide
SmartEdge 100 Chassis
The SmartEdge 100 chassis is a rack-mountable unit that includes a single circuit board mounted within it.
At the rear of the chassis are five fans for forced-air cooling. A single fan failure does not impact the
operation of the system. Air intake is at the front of the chassis and air exhaust at the rear. For this reason,
these areas must not be blocked by other equipment.
Two versions of the SmartEdge 100 chassis support either AC or DC power sources. The DC version has
connectors for redundant power sources with a separate circuit breaker for each DC source. Because the
chassis is fully powered from a single DC source, installing dual DC sources is not required. The power
connectors for either the AC or DC power sources are located at the rear of the chassis. Figure 1-1 shows
the AC version of the SmartEdge 100 chassis.
The circuit board implements the functions of a controller card (referred to as the controller) and the
functions of a traffic card (referred to as an I/O carrier card). The connectors and LEDs for monitoring all
functions and components on the circuit board are on the chassis front panel.
The SmartEdge 100 chassis is designed for mounting in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack; it can also be placed
in a desktop environment. Cable management brackets are attached to the left and right sides at the front of
the chassis. All maintenance functions are performed at the front of the chassis. An electrostatic discharge
(ESD) jack is conveniently located on the chassis front panel.
Figure 1-1 SmartEdge 100 Chassis

System Components
System Description 1-3
Controller Card Functions and Components
The controller card aspect of the circuit board manages the system; it is responsible for the packet routing
protocols, the SmartEdge OS command-line interface (CLI), and communications with a network
management system running the NetOp™ Element Manager System (EMS) software. The controller also
loads all configuration information necessary for the I/O carrier card and its ports.
Table 1-1 compares the controller card aspect of the SmartEdge 100 circuit board with the Cross-Connect
Route Processor Version 3 (XCRP3) Controller card in a SmartEdge 400 or SmartEdge 800 chassis.
The circuit board has these functions and components:
• Dual processors that share memory and perform the controller functions
• Memory—1 GB of synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM), which runs the SmartEdge OS and
provides for shared databases that are accessed by the I/O carrier card and its MICs.
• Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) with battery
The circuit board includes 512 KB of NVRAM, which stores the current state of the system; because it
is not affected by power failures or system shutdown, the system can restore operations when power is
restored or the system is restarted.

Note A second internal-storage device is also installed on the circuit board and the XCRP3 Controller
card for low-level software.
Note The capacity of the internal and external compact-flash (CF) cards can vary on the circuit board and
XCRP3, but the CF cards need not have the same capacity.
Note Support for NVRAM is dependent on the release of the SmartEdge OS.

System Components
1-4 SmartEdge 100 Router Hardware Guide
• Storage for SmartEdge OS files
The circuit board has two internal-storage devices (Type I), one of which is used to store SmartEdge OS
images and files. (The other internal-storage device is used to store low-level system software.)
SmartEdge OS storage is organized into three partitions: p0, p1, and /flash. The p0 and p1 partitions
each store a system image and its files; the memory on the circuit board can be loaded from either of
these partitions. The third partition, /flash, stores SmartEdge OS configuration files and other system-
and user-created data files.
• Support for external CF card
The circuit board has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install a Type I CF card. When
installed, this device is used to capture crash dumps and to provide an alternate source for loading
SmartEdge OS software, when it is not possible to download it over the network.
• Real-time clock with battery
The circuit board supports a real-time clock that is set through the SmartEdge OS and is not affected by
power failures, system shutdown, or reload.
• Temperature and voltage monitoring
Temperature is monitored at various locations within the chassis; an over-temperature interrupt signals
the SmartEdge OS when the temperature rises above or falls below safe operating conditions. Voltages
are also monitored and reported to the SmartEdge OS. Administrators can display both temperature and
voltage data using commands in the SmartEdge OS CLI. Three levels of temperature conditions are
reported: service-affecting, abnormal, and normal.
• Three levels of alarm reporting—critical, major, and minor:
— A critical alarm alerts the operator to a severe, service-affecting condition. It requires immediate
corrective action, regardless of time; for example, a fire.
— A major alarm alerts the operator to a service-affecting hardware or software condition, such as a
serious disruption of service, or the malfunction or failure of important circuits. It requires
immediate corrective attention and the response of a service engineer; for example, a link failure.
— A minor alarm alerts the operator to a condition that does not have a serious affect on service or on
circuits that are not essential to network operation; for example, a carrier line problem for which
transmission has been switched to another line.
• Two types of operations ports for system management access—Craft and Ethernet
— The “CRAFT” port has a DB-9 connector that provides an RS-232 connection to a local console
terminal or a terminal server. The CRAFT port provides the access to the SmartEdge OS CLI for
configuring and monitoring tasks.
— Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports each have an RJ-45 connector; only the top port is enabled in this
release. This port provides a connection to an Ethernet device, such as a switch or hub, which allows
access to the SmartEdge OS CLI from either a local or remote management workstation for
configuring and monitoring tasks. The system can also communicate with a remote workstation that
is running the NetOp EMS software.
Caution Risk of data loss. You can corrupt the system if you attempt to install a CF card not obtained
from Redback®, because these items have not been tested with the SmartEdge router. To reduce
the risk, use only the CF cards provided by Redback. These cards have been tested with the
SmartEdge router.

System Description 1-5
Table 1-2 lists the specifications for the circuit board.
I/O Carrier Card Functions and Components
The I/O carrier card is a logical subdivision of the circuit board within the chassis and implements the
features and functions of a traffic card. Like the traffic cards, the I/O carrier card includes dual packet
processing ASICs, Version 2 (PPA2s). These PPA2s, one for ingress traffic and one for egress traffic,
process all data passing through the SmartEdge 100 router, offloading the processors that perform the
controller functions. Each PPA2 is implemented with 1 GB of memory.
Unlike previous Redback traffic cards, the I/O carrier card supports both fixed and removable ports with
multiple speeds:
• Ports 1 and 2 are fixed; they are referred to as native ports and have their port connectors on the chassis
front panel. Both ports support either copper or optical connections and run at 1 Gbps. Specifications
for native ports are provided in Chapter 2, “MIC and Native Port Descriptions.”
• Ports 3 to 26 are implemented on a pair of removable boards referred to as media interface cards
(MICs). The MICs plug into the I/O carrier card through the front panel with a selectable speed of 10
or 100 Mbps or with a speed of 1 Gbps.
The number of available ports depends on the installed MICs (see Table 1-3). Ports 3 to 14 are allocated
to the MIC in the left MIC slot; ports 15 to 26 are allocated to the MIC in the right MIC slot. Any MIC
can be installed in either slot.
MIC Functions and Components
MICs allow you to install a variety of Ethernet port types in either of two MIC slots in the chassis front
panel. You can install any combination of MIC types; if only a single MIC is installed, a MIC slot cover is
installed to maintain air flow. Table 1-3 lists the MICs supported on the SmartEdge 100 router; for more
information about MICs, see Chapter 2, “MIC and Native Port Descriptions.”
