Connectivity

The 7H4385‐49 DFE module supports up to 48, 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX switched ports
connected through 48 fixed front panel connectors, and the bridge function between
FTM1 and FTM2 connections on the chassis backplane. This enables bridging between
6x1xxx, 6x2xxx, 6x3xxx, and 7x4xxx series modules installed in the same Matrix E7
chassis. If a NEM is installed, additional connections are also available, depending on the
NEM model.
The fixed front panel ports can also support connections to PoE‐compliant PDs when the
module is connected to an external N‐PoE Power system.

Management

Management of the module can be either in‐band or out‐of‐band. In‐band remote
management is possible using Telnet, Enterasys Networks' NetSight
application, or WebView™ application. Out‐of‐band management is provided through
the RJ45 COM (Communication) port on the front panel using a VT100 terminal or a
VT100 terminal emulator.

Switch Configuration Using WebView

Enterasys Networks' HTTP‐based Web management application (WebView) is an
intuitive web tool for simple management tasks.

Switch Configuration Using CLI Commands

The CLI commands enable you to perform more complete switch configuration
management tasks.
For CLI command set information and how to configure the module, refer to the Enterasys
Matrix DFE‐Platinum Series Configuration Guide.

Standards Compatibility

The DFE modules are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3‐2002, 802.3ae‐2002, 802.1D‐
1998, 802.3af‐2003, and 802.1Q‐1998 standards. The DFE module provides IEEE
802.1D‐1998 Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) support to enhance the overall reliability of
the network and protect against "loop" conditions.
Note: The 7H4385-49 does not support both the FTM bridge function and an optional
network expansion module at the same time. With a NEM
function is disabled. All ports remain active in either case.
