8. Switch Management
The Broadcom SDK is a part of the LMP software suite. Shown in Figure 8-1 are the
Broadcom switch S/W package components which are associated with the two on-
board switches, the BCM56842 fabric switch and the BCM53115 base switch. The
configuration interfaces are PCI-e for BCM56842 and SPI for the BCM53115. Both
interfaces are connected to the LMP.
The bcm.user is a user interface shell program which can be accessed to configure the
switches. The kernel modules linux_user_bde.ko, and linux_kernel_bde.ko simply
provide switch hardware access points and most of the functionalities are accompanied
to the bcm.user. The aTCA-N700 S/W package provides the user mode BCM-SDK only.
The kernel mode BCM-SDK, where most of the functionalities are included in the kernel
with bcm.user for a simple user interface, is not supported in the aTCA-N700.

The Fabric Switch (BCM56842) can also be paired with the ADLINK Broadcom Switch
Manager software for management. The ADLINK Broadcom Switch Manager includes
functions of port configuration, customized port mirror, VLAN setting, trunk group, ACL,
static route, and management API with a more user-friendly CLI to enable more
straightforward API development.
The details on the ADLINK Broadcom Switch Manager release software can be found in
the ADLINK Broadcom Switch Manager Configuration Guide and will not be covered in
this document.
Under default settings, the system will boot to the BCM SDK shell. Please contact your
ADLINK representative to order the ADLINK Broadcom Switch Manager software.
