  • Page 12: Overview

    Overview The CES-8940 includes up to four RJ45 ports plus one GigE (SERDES) port connected to the OG3-FR series frame midplane that communicates with the switch on the Network Controller Card. These ports can be configured as a generic switch (any port to any port). They can also be set up for 1:1 trunking between any ports or redundant/load sharing trunking such as four wired links with auto fail-over.
