DFE-Gold Module
Matrix DFE-Gold Series PoE Module Hardware Installation Guide 1-3
The DFE module ports can be configured to provide a high level of security, control traffic
by limiting the rate of traffic accepted into the module and prioritizing traffic to expedite
the flow of higher priority traffic through the module. For a complete list of capabilities,
and information concerning how to configure the DFE module features are provided in
the Enterasys Matrix DFE ‐ Gold Series Configuration Guide .
The DFE module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted into the
Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, or Matrix N3 chassis. The power to support the
DFE module connections to 802.3af PoE ‐ compliant 48 Vdc PDs (powered devices) can be
from the backplane of a Matrix N5 chassis or from an optional external Matrix N ‐ POE
Power System.
The Matrix N ‐ POE Power System can provide 48 Vdc to support up to eight
PoE ‐ compliant DFE modules. The connection from the N ‐ POE Power System is by way of
the 48 Vdc ~ 20 A Maximum Optional Power Input connector on the front panel of the
DFE module.
Caution: Regardless of which chassis is used, the chassis system must be dedicated to
DFE-Gold modules (4xxxxx) only. Do not insert 7xxxxx modules or other legacy modules
into the same chassis with 4xxxxx modules as this will render the chassis inoperable.
Precaución: Cualquiera que sea el chasis que utilice, recuerde que el sistema debe
aplicarse exclusivamente a los módulos DFE (Distributed Forwarding Engine) de la serie
Gold (4xxxxx). No inserte módulos 7xxxxx ni otros módulos legado dentro de un chasis
con módulos 4xxxxx. Si lo hace, el chasis no funcionará.
Note: Only an N-POE Power System can be connected to the 48 Vdc ~ 20 A Maximum
Optional Power Input connector of a series PoE-compliant
DFE module
such as the
4H4285-49.
