Where to Go from Here
In the CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Switch:
The Gigabit Ethernet (GEN) switch fabric module is
the central backplane aggregator for the
CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Switch 7-slot chassis,
8-slot chassis, and 16-slot chassis. The GEN switch
fabric module has 24 non-blocking Gigabit
Ethernet ports on the backplane for high-speed,
low-latency interconnectivity between
CoreBuilder 9000 interface modules.
