Chapter 1 ML-Series Card Overview
ML-Series Feature List
• Cisco Proprietary RPR:
– Ethernet frame check sequence (FCS) preservation for customers
– Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error alarm generation
– FCS detection and threshold configuration
– Shortest path determination
– Keep alives
• Fast EtherChannel (FEC) features (ML100T-12):
– Bundling of up to four Fast Ethernet ports
– Load sharing based on source and destination IP addresses of unicast packets
– Load sharing for bridge traffic based on MAC addresses
– IRB
– IEEE 802.1Q trunking
– Up to 6 active FEC port channels
• Gigabit EtherChannel (GEC) features (ML1000-2):
– Bundling the two Gigabit Ethernet ports
– Load sharing for bridge traffic based on MAC addresses
– IRB
– IEEE 802.1Q trunking
– Auto-negotiation with Remote Fault Indication (RFI)
• POS channel:
– Bundling the two POS ports
– LEX encapsulation only
– IRB
– IEEE 802.1Q trunking
• Layer 3 routing, switching, and forwarding:
– Default routes
– IP unicast and multicast forwarding
– Simple IP access control lists (ACLs) (both Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding path)
– Extended IP ACLs in software (control-plane only)
– IP and IP multicast routing and switching between Ethernet ports
– Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) multicast (not RPF unicast)
– Load balancing among equal cost paths based on source and destination IP addresses
– Up to 18,000 IP routes
– Up to 20,000 IP host entries
– Up to 40 IP multicast groups
– IRB routing mode support
• Supported routing protocols:
– Virtual Private Network (VPN) Routing and Forwarding Lite (VRF Lite)
