Introduction
This chapter introduces the 5G102-06 and 5G106-06 Gigabit Ethernet modules. Unless otherwise
noted, the information in this document applies to both modules.
5G102-06
The 5G102-06 module (
Figure 1-1
view A) features six 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports with
RJ45 connectors. Each of the RJ45 front panel ports can operate in either half-duplex or
full-duplex mode of operation, as determined by auto-negotiation. Full-duplex can also be
manually configured.
5G106-06
The 5G106-06 module (
Figure 1-1
view B) features six Gigabit Ethernet ports:
•
Two interface slots for optional Gigabit Ethernet ports (ports 1 and 2), which can be configured
with Gigabit Ethernet GPIMs. (The term GPIM is synonymous with the industry standard term
of GBIC.)
•
Four fixed 1000BASE-SX Gigabit Ethernet ports connected through fiber ports.
Each of the fixed front panel ports (ports 3 through 6) can operate in either half-duplex or
full-duplex mode of operation, as determined by auto-negotiation. Full-duplex can also be
manually configured.
Important Notice
Depending on the firmware version used in the module, some features described in this document
may not be supported. Refer to the Release Notes shipped with the module to determine which
features are supported.
