9000 Fast Ethernet (FEN) Switching Modules:
The 10-port 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switching Module
(Model Number 3CB9LF10MC) has ten 100 Mbps Ethernet fiber-optic
ports with SC connectors on its front panel and two 1-Gigabit ports
on the back for connection to the chassis backplane.
The 20-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switching Module
(Model Number 3CB9LF20R) has twenty 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 ports on
its front panel and two 1-Gigabit ports on the back for connection to
the chassis backplane.
Each of these FEN Switching Modules operates as a Layer 2 switch and
occupies a single switching module slot in the CoreBuilder 9000 7-slot
chassis, 8-slot chassis, or 16-slot chassis.
The 10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX FEN Switching Modules support
the following key features:
Hot-swapping of modules
Management using the Administration Console
(a command line interface), the Web Management suite of
applications with an Internet browser, or SNMP-based applications
