Description

The Nortel NT6Q21AA is a high-performance Layer 2 multiservice interface module designed for the Media Gateway 15000 (MG 15000) and compatible multiservice switching platforms. This module provides a versatile combination of Ethernet interfaces, including two Gigabit Ethernet (GE/FX) ports via SFP slots and eight 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports (RJ-45). It is engineered to facilitate the aggregation of packet-based traffic and its subsequent transport over high-speed 622 Mbps (OC-12/STM-4) backplane fabrics or optical uplinks, bridging local area networks with carrier-grade wide area infrastructures.The hardware architecture supports advanced Layer 2 switching features, including IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, priority queuing (QoS), and robust traffic management to ensure service level agreement (SLA) enforcement for converged voice, video, and data streams. The NT6Q21AA handles wire-speed packet forwarding and incorporates integrated buffering to manage traffic bursts effectively. For carrier-class reliability, the module features comprehensive diagnostic tools, including link-level monitoring, remote loopbacks, and hardware-based performance statistics. The module is designed for hot-swappable installation within the gateway chassis, supporting N+1 redundancy and hitless failover configurations. Its hybrid port density makes it an ideal solution for service providers requiring flexible Ethernet hand-offs for mobile backhaul, enterprise access, and integrated VoIP services.
