ADVA FSP150CC-825 Switch Showcase

Moduletek Laboratory are going to introduce to you today is ADVA FSP150CC-825 switch, then, we will present it from three aspects: appearance, system, and internal structure.

1. Product Introduction

There is mainly 7 RJ45 ports, 3 SFP ports, 1 RJ45 serial port, 1 network management port, 2 power module access slot of the ADVA FSP150CC-825 switch front panel ; the rear panel is mainly equipped with a DC power input port and a heat sink, as well as a cooling block; air vents are designed on both sides of the switch. The official key parameter information and the physical appearance of the device are as follows:

2. Device Management

The device supports the use of Command Line Interface (CLI) and WEB Graphical User Interface (GUI) for management, the command line interface supports serial port, SSH, Telnet connection; access to the power cord to power up the device, connect the PC and the switch by the serial port using an RJ45-to-DB9 serial cable; the default baud rate: 9600, the initial account/password: covaro1/covaro#1, log in to the device console.

Figure 4 CLI Command Line Interface

Connect the SFP-GE-T module of Moduletek to ADVA FSP150CC-825 switch by the patch cord, the module can be normal LINK, and the port indicator light up; you can view the interface status and module identification information after execute the command "show interface port-number ".

Access the local browser user interface after connect to the management port LAN outside the switch (initial IP: 192.168.0.2); the home page displays the device and system information after enter the WEB management page.

3. Disassembly

Open the top cover of the switch, you can see that the whole part is divided into two parts, one is the PCB motherboard, which integrates various main chips, resistors, heat dissipation and other devices, and the DC power supply device is also integrated into the motherboard; one part is the AC power supply board, with fanless design.
