2-Port 1000BASE-SX and
2-Port 1000BASE-LX Gigabit
Ethernet Interface Modules
Quick Start Guide
For the CoreBuilder
9000 Enterprise Switch
Interface Modules
Description
The 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet (GEN) Interface
Modules are 2-port interface modules for the CoreBuilder
9000
Enterprise Switch. These GEN Interface Modules serve as a 2-Gigabit
data channel between the Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric Module and
other IEEE 802.3z-compliant Gigabit Ethernet devices.
Key Features
The GEN Interface Modules support the following key features:
Two front panel IEEE 802.3z–compliant Gigabit Ethernet fiber-optic
ports that connect to a dedicated, non-blocking, redundant Gigabit
Ethernet backplane channel
850nm multimode support on the 1000BASE-SX GEN Interface
Module
1300nm single-mode support on the 1000BASE-LX GEN Interface
Module
Management using the CoreBuilder 9000 Administration Console
(a command line interface) or Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) applications by connecting through the Gigabit Ethernet
Switch Fabric Module
