7G4280-19
The 7G4280‐19 DFE module has 18, 1000BASE‐X compliant, Small Form Factor Pluggable
(SFP) fixed front‐panel port slots for Gigabit Ethernet connections using optional Mini‐
Gigabit Interface Cards (Mini‐GBICs). The port slots enable you to install a
mix‐and‐match number of SFPs to meet a need for various Gigabit Ethernet connections.
There is also a slot for an optional network expansion module (NEM).
The 7G4280‐19 DFE module can be installed in a Matrix E7, N7, N5, N3 or N1 chassis, but
only supports FTM2 data backplane interconnections in the Matrix E7 chassis. Traffic flow
from FTM2 to FTM1 can only be accomplished with a 7H4382‐25, 7H4382‐49, 7H4383‐49,
or 7H4385‐49 DFE module.
Mini-GBICs
At the printing of this document the following six Mini‐GBICs to support 1‐Gbps
fiber‐optic or copper connections were available.
•
MGBIC‐LC01 for a 1000BASE‐SX compliant LC fiber‐optic multimode connection
•
MGBIC‐LC03 for a 1000BASE‐SX compliant LC fiber‐optic multimode connection
•
MGBIC‐LC09 for a 1000BASE‐LX compliant LC fiber‐optic single‐mode connection
•
MGBIC‐MT01 for a 1000BASE‐SX compliant MT‐RJ fiber‐optic single‐mode
connection
•
MGBIC‐08 for a 1000BASE‐ELX compliant LC fiber‐optic single‐mode connection
•
MGBIC‐02 for a 1000BASE‐T compliant RJ45 copper connection
Management
Management of the module or system can be done using either in‐band or out‐of‐band
type of access. In‐band remote management is possible using Telnet, Enterasys Networks'
NetSight
management is provided through the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel
using a VT100 terminal or a VT100 terminal emulator.
