and
the
7G
‐
6MGBIC
and

interface
modules
(

).
Each
of
the
fixed
front
panel
ports
can
operate
in
either
half
‐
duplex
or
full

duplex
mode
of
operation.
The
duplex
mode
can
be
determined
by
either
auto

or
manual
configuration.
The
DFE
‐
Gold
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
DFE
‐
Gold
module
receives
power
and
backplane
connectivity
when
it
is
inserted
into
the
Matrix N1,
Matrix N3,
Matrix N5,
Matrix N7,
or
Matrix E7
chassis.
The
information
concerning
the
DFE
module
features
and
how
to
configure
them
to
a
network
are
provided
in
the
Matrix

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.
