You can use the line card two different ways. One way is to use just one
port on the card at a time. This means that you can use the twisted-pair
port or install a GBIC module and use the port on the GBIC.
Another way that you can use this line card is for port backup. This
involves using both the twisted-pair port and a port on a GBIC module
simultaneously to provide a redundant path in the event an active path
should fail or be disconnected. This feature is explained in
on page 28.
Note
The AT-8413 line card can forward traffic through the twisted-pair
port or a GBIC port, but it cannot forward traffic through both ports
simultaneously.
