Each of the fixed front panel ports can operate in either half‐duplex or full‐duplex mode
of operation. The duplex mode can be determined by either auto‐negotiation or manual
configuration.
The DFE‐Platinum module ports can be configured to control traffic by limiting the rate of
traffic accepted into the module and prioritizing traffic to expedite the flow of higher
priority traffic through the module.
The DFE‐Platinum module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted
into the Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, Matrix N7, or Matrix E7 chassis.
The information concerning the DFE module features and how to configure them to a
network are provided in the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide.
