Magnum 6K32 and 6K32R chassis

The Magnum 6K32 is a 19" rack-mountable Ethernet Switch with fixed 24
10/100 RJ-45 ports and a modular slot (8 ports max.) for configuration flexibility. The
modular slot, shown on the right side below, may be configured with any of a large
selection of fiber and copper port types and combinations of types, typically eight ports
module max., but sometimes six (4+2) or four(2+2) or (4+4) ports or even one (G+4) or
(G+2) or two Gb (GBPMV-2OTX) port module. The modular slot may be configured
with a Gb module that accepts GBICs. The port types configurable using the modular
slots allows the 6K32 to efficiently serve a large variety of applications, even those using
some fiber media. The Magnum 6K32 port modules are normally factory installed, but
may be changed or added in the field. (See Section 5) Status LEDs are part of each port
module and are viewable when connecting the Ethernet media. A "regular" rack-

mount 6K32 is shown in Figure 2.2.1a. On "Reverse" rack-mount models, all the ports
and power supply are on the rear part of the box, whereas the 2
(front and back) for port status are in the front. Of course, with the web based
management option or by the use of SNMPc 3
also seen through GUI software on remote computers and terminals.
Designed for use in Carrier Class and Industrial networks with some segments
requiring Gigabit backbone interconnections among network centers, the managed
Magnum 6K32 is easy to deploy, manage and maintain. Addresses of attached nodes are
automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network
changes and expansions to provide pug-n-play operation.
The modules that may be configured and used in Slot A are described here.
