Network Module

Figure 4 shows network module with four GbE or two 10GbE SFP+ interfaces.
Figure 4.
The Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Series and 3560-X Series Switches support an optional network module for uplink ports.
The default switch configuration doesn't include the uplink module; the customer has the flexibility to choose from
four GbE port (3KX-NM-1G) or two 10GbE port (3KX-NM-10G) network module at the time of switch purchase. The
10GbE uplink module features four physical ports with two SFP+ and two regular SFP ports. The SFP+ interface
supports both 10GbE and GbE port, allowing customer to use their investment in GbE SFP and upgrade to 10GbE
when business demands change, without having to do a comprehensive upgrade of the access switch. The uplink
module is hot swappable. The 10GbE network module can be used in any of the combinations shown in Table 3.

MACsec

The Cisco Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X Series Switches offer exceptional security with integrated hardware support
for MACsec defined in IEEE 802.1AE. MACsec provides MAC layer encryption over wired networks using out-of-
band methods for encryption keying. The MACsec Key Agreement (MKA) protocol provides the required session
keys and manages the keys required for encryption when configured. MKA and MACsec are implemented following
successful authentication using 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) framework. In Cisco Catalyst 3750-
X and 3560-X Series Switches only the user/down-link ports (links between the switch and endpoint devices such as
a PC or IP phone) can be secured using MACsec.
