Figure 35: Tying Ethernet Traffic Between Ether-1000 And Ether-10 Systems When 86438-60 Paddleboard Is Used At Tie Site - GE JungleMUX SONET Technical Practice

Ethernet port tie connections can be used when Ethernet traffic is to be passed
between a ring/linear JungleMUX network equipped with ETHER-1000 system
and a one equipped with ETHER-10 (or legacy JIF-ETHER) system.
The ETHER-10 and JIF-ETHER units are not transparent for frames
longer than 1522 and 1518 bytes respectively. Also, these units provide
neither fast protection switching nor the advanced set of features
available on ETHER-1000 unit. The user is referred to their respective
TPIMs for more information on their features and capabilities.

Figure 35: Tying Ethernet Traffic between ETHER-1000 and ETHER-10
systems when 86438-60 paddleboard is used at tie site
If all ETHER-10 / JIF-ETHER unit paddleboards used at a tie site are non-
hubbing ones (86438-60 for ETHER-10, 86438-90 for JIF-ETHER), or the
hubbing paddleboards used (86438-66/-68 for ETHER-10, or 86438-96/-98 for
JIF-ETHER) do not have enough ports for all tie connections to be made, then
either an external Ethernet hub (see example in Figure 35), or a switch with
Spanning Tree Algorithm enabled must be used. Otherwise, the connection(s)
can be made directly between the paddleboards.
The user is referred to Table 5 for a comparison between various Ethernet tie
solutions where ETHER-1000 units are involved.
