NTRODUCTION
The GBIC Module (3C17714) provides your
®
SuperStack
3 Switch 4900 Family or 3Com
40x0 Family with four Gigabit Interface Convertor (GBIC)
expansion ports. The Module supports fiber Gigabit
Ethernet short-wave (SX), long-wave (LX) and long-haul
(LH70) GBIC transceivers in any combination. This offers
you the flexibility of using GBIC transceivers to provide
connectivity between the Switch and remote 1000 Mbps
workgroups or to create a high capacity aggregated link
backbone connection. The Module conforms to the full
duplex implementation of the Gigabit Ethernet stan-
dard, IEEE 802.3x.
The Module requires Gigabit Multilayer Switching (GMS)
software version 1.3 or later to be installed on the
Switch. This is supplied on the CD-ROM that
accompanies the Module. For instructions on upgrading
GMS software, refer to the documentation supplied with
your Switch.
The GBIC Module can also be used to interconnect two
SuperStack 3 Switch 4900 Family or 3Com Switch 40x0
Family units to create an XRN Distributed Fabric. Using
the GBIC Module in this way means you can have an
Fabric Interconnect extended up to 70 Km (43.5 miles)
between the units, if necessary (dependent upon GBIC
transceiver type).
To create an XRN Distributed Fabric you will need GMS
software version 4.0 or later (Advanced Feature License
3C1770V40) installed on both Switch units.
