PTX5000 Switch Interface Boards
PTX5000 Switch Interface Board Description
SIB Slots
The PTX5000 Switch Interface Boards (SIBs) form the switch fabric for the router. Each PTX5000 contains nine SIBs located at the center rear of the chassis in the slots labeled SIB0 through SIB8 (top to bottom). SIBs are hot-insertable and hot-removable.
SIB Function
SIBs create the switch fabric for the PTX5000.
SIBs Supported on the PTX5000
The PTX5000 supports the following SIBs:
SIB-I-PTX5008
SIB2-I-PTX5K
SIB3-I-PTX5K
SIB Components
Figure 1 ,Figure 2 , and Figure 3 show the supported SIBs. Each SIB weighs 6 lb (2.7 kg).

Each SIB consists of the following components:
Switch fabric ASICs.
High-speed links to each FPC.
SIB ONLINE/OFFLINE button, located on the SIB faceplate.
Three LEDs located on the SIB faceplate that display the status of the SIB. The OK and ACT LEDs are replicated on the craft interface.

The status LEDs are located to the left of the ONLINE/OFFLINE buttons. Table 1 describes the functions of these LEDs.
Label | Color | State | Description |
---|---|---|---|
ACTIVE | Green | On steadily | SIB is actively passing traffic. |
– | Off | SIB is either offline or not actively passing traffic. | |
OK | Green | On steadily | SIB is functioning normally. |
– | Off | SIB is offline or not seated properly. | |
FAIL | Yellow | On steadily | SIB has failed. |
– | Off | No faults have been detected for the SIB. |
