Which of the following describes the Nokia 7750 SR Input/Output Module (IOM)?
The Nokia 7750 SR Input/Output Module (IOM) contains a CPU for managing the forwarding hardware in each flexible fast path. This description aligns with the function of the IOM, which is responsible for queuing, processing, and forwarding data. The presence of a CPU specifically for managing the forwarding hardware is crucial for performing these tasks.
Verified in Chapter 2 of the Alcatel-Lucent Scalable IP Networks Self-Study Guide. The IOMs are hot-swappable modules responsible for queuing, processing, and forwarding of data. An IOM contains two 10-Gbps traffic-processing programmable fast-path complexes. Each complex supports a pluggable MDA that allows a common programmable fast path to support all of the possible interface types. The IOM also contains a CPU section for managing the forwarding hardware in each Flexible Fast Path.
