5.3 GPLIM
The GPLIM performs the function of a Managed layer 2 Ethernet switch as well as the Learning Bridge function
based on the MAC address filtering and forwarding algorithm.
The GPLIM provides 12 LAN ports per card. Each port is 10/100 Base-T, auto sensing, full duplex and capable of
delivering PoE to any 802.3af compliant device. In addition to the 12 10/100Base-T ports the GPLIM also includes
2 full duplex 1000 Base-SX/LX/TX Sockets supporting industry standard SFP-GBIC technology. Utilizing the 2 giga-
bit ports you have the ability to uplink the GPLIM into an existing data infrastructure or connect additional
GPLIM's to increase network capacity.
Note: There is a maximum of 11 GPLIM's per OS7400 cabinet. All GPLIM modules are Layer 2 managed switches.
