Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the communications field, and provide a multi-chassis cascading apparatus. The apparatus includes a line card chassis LCC, where a fabric interface chip FIC and a switch element SE 1/3 are deployed in each line card chassis LCC; the fabric interface chip FIC is connected to the switch element SE 1/3 that is located in the same line card chassis LCC as the fabric interface chip FIC is; and a switch element SE 2 is deployed in each line card chassis LCC; the switch element SE 1/3 is connected to the switch element SE 2 that is located in the same line card chassis LCC as the switch element SE 1/3 is; and the switch element SE 1/3 is connected to the switch element SE 2 that is located in another line card chassis LCC.
Claims6
A multi-chassis cascading apparatus, comprising line card chassis LCCs, wherein fabric interface chips FICs are deployed in each line card chassis LCC, and comprising:
- switch elements SEs 1/3 and switch elements SEs 2 that are deployed in each line card chassis LCC, wherein
- a fabric interface chip FIC in the fabric interface chips FICs is connected to a switch element SE 1/3 that is located in the same line card chassis LCC as the fabric interface chip FIC in the switch elements SEs 1/3;
- a switch element SE 1/3 is connected to a switch element SE 2 that is located in the same line card chassis LCC as the switch element SE 1/3 in the switch elements SEs 2;
- and
- the switch element SE 1/3 is connected to a switch element SE 2 that is located in a line card chassis LCC different from the LCC in which the switch element SE 1/3 is located in the switch elements SEs 2.
A multi-chassis cascading apparatus, comprising:
- a line card chassis including a fabric interface chip, a first switch element and a second switch element,, wherein
- the fabric interface chip is coupled to the first switch element, and
- the first switch element is coupled to the second switch element and to another second switch element of another line card chassis.
