Options

The 5G106-06 supports the 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX specifications using fiber GPIMs.
1000BASE-SX is supported with the GPIM-01 providing one SC fiber optic connector for 50 or
62.5 micron multimode fiber optic cable. 1000BASE-LX is supported with the GPIM-09
providing one SC fiber optic connector for 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fiber optic cable, or
10 micron single mode fiber optic cable. The GPIM-08 meets or exceeds the 1000BASE-LX
requirements using 10 micron single mode fiber optic cable. For GPIM specifications, refer to
Appendix C.

PORT TRUNKING

Port Trunking is used for load balancing or load sharing. Port Trunking provides a mechanism to
group, or aggregate, multiple links of any technology together to scale the backbone bandwidth
beyond the limitations of a single link. All links are user-configurable so administrators can scale
the backbone bandwidth by adding Port Trunking. The benefits of Port Trunking include the
following:
• All purchased bandwidth is used.
• Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance.
• Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum flexibility.
