SBM-GEM-X2C(+) 1/10-Gb Ethernet Switch Module
The SBM-GEM-X2C(+) 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet switch module is a layer 2/3 Ethernet
switch. It includes three 10-Gb/s uplink ports (two CX4 and one SPF+), two 1-Gb/s
uplink RJ45 uplink ports and fourteen (X2C) or twenty (X2C+) 1-Gb/s downlink ports for
the SuperBlade's LAN interfaces. The Ethernet switch module has two internal Ethernet
paths to the CMM(s). The switch is used to provide a connection between the Ethernet
controller integrated on the mainboard and an external Ethernet device. This is a
hot-pluggable module. See
