Interface Modules

The 8-slot Switch contains six slots for interface
modules. Fast Ethernet modules or Gigabit Ethernet
modules can occupy every slot, except slot 7 and
slot 8, in the 8-slot chassis. The six interface modules
in the 8-slot Switch access five 2 Gbps serial channels,
which are wired to two dedicated switch fabric
module slots.
There are two types of Switch 4007R interface
modules. Interface modules provide network
connectivity functions.
The module families are associated with the
corresponding choice of a switch fabric module
technology: Layer 2 or Layer 3.

Layer 2

The 9-port 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2
I
Switching Module has nine 1000BASE-SX Gigabit
Ethernet front panel ports, which interface to
backplane ports in the Switch 4007R.
The 36-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet RJ-45
I
Layer 2 Switching Module has thirty-six 10/100
Mbps RJ-45 front panel ports. These ports
interface to a maximum of two 1-Gigabit
non-blocking ports on the backplane.
The 20-port 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet Layer 2
I
Switching Module has twenty 100 Mbps Ethernet
fiber-optic ports with MT-RJ connectors on its front
panel and two 1-Gigabit ports on the back fro
connection to the chassis backplane.
