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‐Gold 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‐Gold module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted into
theMatrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, Matrix N7, or Matrix E7 chassis.
The information concerning the DFE module features and how to configure them to a
network are provided in the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide.

Caution: Regardless of which chassis is used, the chassis system must be dedicated to
DFE-Gold modules (4xxxxx) only. Do not insert 7xxxxx modules or other legacy modules
into the same chassis with 4xxxxx modules as this will render the chassis inoperable.
Precaución: Cualquiera que sea el chasis que utilice, recuerde que el sistema debe
aplicarse exclusivamente a los módulos DFE (Distributed Forwarding Engine) de la serie
Gold (4xxxxx). No inserte módulos 7xxxxx ni otros módulos legado dentro de un chasis
con módulos 4xxxxx. Si lo hace, el chasis no funcionará.
