Description
Key features
- Operating modes: The SAS-Mxp can operate in two primary modes:
- Standalone mode: Acts as an IP/MPLS-enabled service aggregation device at the customer edge.
- Satellite mode: Connects to a host Service Router (SR) device (such as a 7750 SR or 7950 XRS) to serve as a port extender, providing high-density Ethernet aggregation.
- Performance: The switch features a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric with a full-duplex capacity of 64 Gbps, ensuring high-speed, low-latency traffic transport across all ports.
- Buffering: It provides deep buffering, which is an enhanced service feature for handling bursty customer traffic effectively.
- High availability: To ensure network uptime, the device is equipped with redundant control and power supplies.
- Environmental variants: Different variants are available for deployment in various environments:
- Standard: Operates within a standard temperature range.
- ETR (Extended Temperature Range): Supports operation in more demanding temperature conditions.
- ETR CC (Conformal Coding): Adds a protective coating for deployment in harsh or environmentally challenging locations.
- Enhanced services: The SAS-Mxp can deliver complex services using technologies like:
- Carrier Ethernet
- IP VPN
- Hierarchical Quality of Service (H-QoS)
- Comprehensive OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) capabilities
Operating system and management
- Service Router Operating System (SR OS): As part of the Nokia Service Router portfolio, the SAS-Mxp runs on the proven SR OS, providing consistent service and operational management across the network.
- Network Services Platform (NSP): The device is managed by Nokia’s NSP, which allows for end-to-end service delivery and unified service automation.
- SDN support: The SAS-Mxp supports NETCONF/YANG and PCEP interfaces, enabling it to function as part of a carrier-SDN solution
