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 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 module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted into the
Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, Matrix N7, or Matrix E7 chassis.
