100/1000 Ethernet ports
The 100/1000 Ethernet interface module contains 24 physical ports, through which you can
connect your router to other network routers at a speed of 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.
You must insert an SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceiver (provided by Dell) into a physical port.
SFP-compliant fiber-optic transceivers provide a physical medium-dependent (PMD) fiber interface
that can be used with either the LAN physical layer (PHY) or WAN physical layer (WAN PHY).

If you try to configure MPLS on device that has NI MLX 8x10G -D modules installed, you will see
the following error message.
PowerConnect MLX-8 Router(config)# router mpls
The command can't be used when system contains -d class modules.
If you install an NI-MLX-10Gx8-D module in a device that is running MPLS, the NI-MLX-10Gx8-D
module will boot in INTERACTIVE mode, and the following error message is displayed.
R2-MLX#
