The DFE-Diamond 7KR4297-02 and 7KR4297-04 Modules
1-2 Introduction
The DFE-Diamond 7KR4297-02 and 7KR4297-04 Modules
This section provides an overview of the 7KR4297 ‐ 02 and 7KR4297 ‐ 04 DFE ‐ Diamond modules
shown in Figure 1 ‐ 1 and Figure 1 ‐ 2 , as well as the optional XFP physical interfaces (PHYs). For
information about the DFE ‐ Diamond module features and how to configure them, refer to the
Enterasys Matrix DFE ‐ Diamond/Platinum Series Configuration Guide .
7KR4297-02
The 7KR4297 ‐ 02 DFE module has two 10 ‐ Gbps Ethernet port slots on the front panel that can
support up to two 10 ‐ Gbps XFP PHYs for high speed uplinks from the chassis DFE Ethernet
switch system. With two 10 ‐ Gbps PHYs installed in the 7KR4297 ‐ 02, a shared uplink of up to
20 Gbps can be provided from the DFE switching system to two network edge connections from a
Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, Matrix N3, or Matrix N1 chassis to a core data center.
The DFE module ports can be configured to 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.
The 7KR4297 ‐ 02 module can be installed in a Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, Matrix N3, or
Matrix N1 chassis, but only supports FTM2 data backplane interconnections in the Matrix E7
chassis.

7KR4297-04
The 7KR4297 ‐ 04 DFE ‐ module has four 10 ‐ Gbps Ethernet port slots on the front panel that can
support up to four 10 ‐ Gbps XFP PHYs for high speed uplinks from the chassis DFE Ethernet
switch system. With four 10 ‐ Gbps PHYs installed in the 7KR4297 ‐ 04, a shared uplink of up to 40
Gbps can be provided from the DFE switching system to two network edge connections from a
Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, Matrix N3, or Matrix N1 chassis to a core data center.
The DFE module ports can be configured to 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.
The 7KR4297 ‐ 04 DFE module can be installed in a Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, Matrix N3, or
Matrix N1 chassis, but only supports FTM2 data backplane interconnections in the Matrix E7
chassis.
