Reference

The BSC IP network interface functionality was previously only implemented

in BSC LAN Switch (Extreme Network Summti48si). The NWI-E is the
successor to the BSC LAN Switch and replaces it functionwise.

1.2

Scope
The document describes new NWI-E board but only to such a certain degree.
The board design itself is owned by Extreme Networks.

1.3

Statement of Compliance
The board has passed through several compliance tests. Please see
references [ 1 ] through [ 7 ] for more details.

1.4

Purpose
The document describes the STEB structure and its functionality on a high
level.

INTRODUCTION
The NWI-E implements the BSC IP network interface function for the BSC
(L2/L3 switching).
The PBA is designed to be hosted in both GEM and E-GEM magazine. The
only interface used from the backplane is the power connection.

2.1

Compatibility with E-GEM magazine

NWI-E is compliant with GEM and E-GEM magazine.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The following main functional blocks are present in NWI-E:
Switch subsystem
Front-End Interface
Management CPU

4.1

Switch Subsystem
NWI-E uses one Broadcom XGS BCM56500 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch
controller. It supports the functions, features and performance levels specified
by Broadcom by this chipset.

4.2

Front-End Interface
NWI-E has 13 DensiShield connectors on its fornt panel. Eleven of them are
used as single 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports. One is used as out-of-band
Ethernet port and the other one is used as serial console port.
Two SFP cages are used to support two 1000BaseX.

4.3

Management CPU
The BCM1122 CPU controls the local switch fabric and handles packets that
require CPU involvement. It has many interfaces that attach to local devices.
The most important control paths are:
The PCI bus which connects to the switch fabric BCM56500 chip
The Ethernet GMII/MII interface which connects to the BCM5241
single PHY
The I2C bus which connects to several local devices
See Figure 3-1 for top level block diagram.

INTERFACE DESCRIPTION

5.1

Internal Interfaces

Reference

The internal interfaces are not described as the design and usage of these
outside the scope of this document.

5.2

EXTERNAL INTERFACES

5.2.1

Ethernet 10/100 BaseT Management Interface

The Ethernet management interface connects to the CPU subsystem for
management.

5.2.2

Ethernet 10/100/1000 BaseT Interfaces

A duplicated Ethernet standard interface connection is provided to backplane
and one to front panel for debug purpose. All interfaces are independent and
fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u.
The two Ethernet ports connected to backpanel are compliant to GEM
specifications;
These duplicated Ethernet interfaces are used to implement RPB-E (Ethernet
RP bus interface from/to CP to/from RP processors.
The same Ethernet Transceiver is used for all Ethernet connections.

5.2.3

RS232 interface
The serial console port of the NWI-E uses DensiShield connector. The default
settings are:
Baud rate: 9600
Data bits: 8
Stop bit: 1
Parity: None
Flow control: XON/XOFF
