Alcatel-Lucent 3HE01171AA 7750 SR routers / Metrospan DWDM-SDH / OmniPCX Router Module

The Alcatel-Lucent 3HE01171AA is a Switch Fabric and Control Processor Module (SF/CPM) 2, rated at 200 Gigabit switching capacity, for the 7750 Service Router platform. The SF/CPM is the 7750 SR’s central card: it runs the router’s control plane (routing protocols, management, system software) and provides the switch fabric that moves traffic between line cards, so a chassis is typically fitted with a redundant pair for continuous operation. The 200G variant matches the earlier-generation, lower-throughput SR chassis rather than the newer higher-capacity SFM2/SFM3 boards, and is used to restore fabric redundancy or replace a faulted module in that generation of deployment. Confirm the exact chassis model and existing CPM generation before ordering, since SF/CPM hardware is chassis- and software-release specific. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) supplies 7750 SR control and fabric hardware to support ongoing service provider network maintenance projects.
