GPS Port Pinout

The platform is capable of receiving or sourcing GPS signals of 1 PPS & 10 MHz. These interfaces are provided by two mini-coax 50-Ohm, 1.0/2.3 DIN series connector on the front panel. Similarly there are two mini-coax 50-Ohm connectors provided in the front panel to output this 1PPS and 10MHz.

Management Ethernet Port Pinout

A single management copper ENET port supporting 10/100/1000Base-T operation exists on each RSP. There is no direct access to the CPU of the other RSP. It uses a standard RJ45 jack.


Note

This is not a data plane port.

USB Console Port Pinout

Two individual Type-A USB connector are used for USB console and USB mass storage. One single USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle is provided on the RSP front panel for providing console access to ROMMON, IOS-XE and diagnostics. It operates as a USB peripheral only for connection to an external host PC. This requires the use of a Type-A to Type-A connector instead of a standard USB cable.


Note

The use of the USB console is mutually exclusive with the RS232 console/Aux port. While a USB cable is inserted, access is automatically switched to this port.

The other single USB 2.0 Type-A receptacle is provided on the RSP front panel for inserting external USB mass storage devices such as standard USB flash drives. It is used to load images, store configurations, write logs, etc. It supports operation up to 12Mbps

Fiber-Optic Specifications

The specification for optical fiber transmission defines two types of fiber: single-mode and multimode. Within the single-mode category, three transmission types are defined: short reach, intermediate reach, and long reach. Within the multimode category, only short reach is available. For information about optical SFP modules, see the documentation for the SFP module at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/modules/ps5455/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Note

The digital code signing functionality validates the integrity and authenticity of the ROMMON image before booting it.


The PWR and STAT LEDs are available on the front panel. These LEDs provide power on the board (PWR) and overall router health (STAT) status. During power up state, these LEDs provide booting status and report errors.

FPGA configured and core validated successfully.

FPGA image passed the control to micro-loader to boot ROMMON.

System is up with ROMMON. Both the FPGA image is validated successfully, but the booted ROMMON (primary or secondary) is undetermined.

Amber

The digital code signing functionality reported upgrade FPGA image validation error and is continuing with the FPGA image.

System is up with ROMMON. FPGA image is validated successfully, but the booted ROMMON (primary or secondary) is undetermined.

Red

The digital code signing functionality reported failure in the ROMMON image validation.

FPGA is up but both primary and secondary ROMMON failed. System is in hung state.

Green

Off

IOS is successfully booted

IOS writes into FPGA register to indicate that it has booted, FPGA stops flashing PWR LED and turns Green. Software now controls the STAT LED.

Fan Tray LEDs


Note

A major alarm condition indicates the failure of a single fan in the fan tray; a critical alarm indicates the failure of multiple fans. In the event that a single fan fails, the router software adjusts the fan speed to prevent excessive heat within the chassis.
