FlexWAN Module
This chapter describes the FlexWAN module.
The FlexWAN module (WS-X6182-2PA) is installed in a switch that has a supervisor engine with an MSFC and a PFC. (See Figure 4-1.) The MSFC, in conjunction with the FlexWAN module, provides multiprotocol routing support with full Internet route connectivity for speeds ranging from serial RS-232 to OC-3. The FlexWAN module can accept up to two Cisco 7200/7500 WAN port adapters, which deliver WAN consolidation and extend QoS and traffic-management capabilities over WAN segments. The FlexWAN module supports ATM and Packet-over-SONET (POS) OC-3 links and channelized, multichannel, and clear channel port adapters. Table 4-1 lists the supported adapters.
For more information about the MSFC and PFC, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software Configuration Guide.
Note Throughout this publication, except where noted, the term MSFC refers to both MSFC and MSFC2, and the term PFC refers to both PFC and PFC2.
Note To use the FlexWAN module, you must have a supervisor engine with an MSFC and a PFC. You configure the FlexWAN module through the MSFC.
The STATUS LED on the FlexWAN module front panel (see Figure 4-1) indicates the status of the FlexWAN module. Table 4-2 describes the LED operation.
For information on FlexWAN module hardware and software requirements and port adapter installation and configuration, refer to the Catalyst 6000 Family FlexWAN Module Installation and Configuration Note.
