Screenshots in this document are taken on a specific software version and are for illustration only.
Switch module is a type of interconnect module and is also called interconnect module in this document.
Introduction
H3C UniServer BX1010E switch module, as an Ethernet switching control unit inside the enclosure, provides data switching for the blade servers. It also provides external data ports to connect the blade servers to the external network.
Figure 1 BX1010E switch module
High availability
The switch modules can be configured in redundancy. The enclosure supports a maximum of six switch modules. See Figure 2 for the slots for the switch modules. The six switch modules form three module pairs with internal ports inter-connected: Slots 1 and 4 pair, slots 2 and 5 pair, and slots 3 and 6 pair. Each pair can be used as a switching plane. You can configure the switch modules in a pair to operate in active/standby mode as needed.

Ports
Port numbering
The ports on the switch module are numbered in the format of A/B/C:
· A—IRF member device ID. By default, switch modules are not set up in an IRF fabric. The default value of A is 1.
Devices with the same member ID cannot set up an IRF fabric. To change the IRF member ID for a device, execute the irf member renumber command.
· B—Differentiates between internal and external ports. 0 represents an internal port and 1 represents an external port.
· C—Number of the port on the switch module.
A breakout interface split from a port is numbered in the format of A/B/C:D. D represents the breakout interface number, which is in the range of 1 to 4.

A 100-GE fiber port can be used as follows: · A single 100-GE port. · Split into 4 × 25-GE ports. After it is split, the port can only use a 100G transceiver module or cable that supports splitting for connection. · Split into 4 × 10GE ports. After it is split, the port can only use a 40G transceiver module or cable that support splitting for connection. |

Logical architecture
As shown in Figure 5, the switch module contains three logical units:
· CPU unit—As the control and management core of the switch module, it is responsible for module management, system configuration, and special packet processing.
· AMC unit—As the auxiliary management unit of the switch module, it is responsible for data collection and report, power up/down control of the module, and system monitoring.
· Switch unit—As the data processing core of the switch module, it is responsible for internal and external data forwarding and report of unrecognized packets.
Installation guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you install switch modules:
· As shown in Figure 6, you can install a maximum of six switch modules in the enclosure.
· The installation positions of switch modules and mezzanine network adapters must allow their internal connections.
· The six switch modules form three pairs with internal ports inter-connected: Slots 1 and 4 pair, slots 2 and 5 pair, and slots 3 and 6 pair. Each pair can be used as a switching plane, and the switch modules in each pair operate in active/standby mode.
· The switch module can be hot swapped.
