5.4 GSIM
The GSIM module performs the function of a Managed layer 3 Ethernet switch. This module is well suited for a
gigabit backbone switch providing core infrastructure, QoS and advanced routing capabilities.
The GSIM module provides (10) 1000 Base-SX/LX/TX Sockets supporting industry standard SFP-GBIC technology.
Utilizing the 10 gigabit ports you have the ability to combine additional G-Series Data Modules to create an
expanded data infrastructure with the Layer 3 manageability of the GSIM Module. The GSIM module can also be
utilized in high bandwidth data applications for medical equipment as well as other digital imaging technologies.
Note: There is a maximum of 2 GSIM's per OS7400 cabinet. All GSIM modules are Layer 3 managed switches.
