Chassis Configurations
The system is designed to scale from a minimum configuration, as shown in the table below, to a fully-loaded redundant
configuration containing a maximum of 48 cards.
Note that if Session Recovery is enabled, the minimum number of packet processing cards per chassis increases from
one to four cards. Three packet processing cards are active and one packet processing card is standby (redundant). This
minimal configuration is designed to protect against software failures only. In addition to increased hardware
requirements, Session Recovery may reduce subscriber session capacity, performance, and data throughput.
Important:
and GGSN are supported on the PPC.
