:
When referring to ports in the CLI, the format is box ID/slot ID/port ID . For
example, 1/1/x6 refers to box 1, slot 1, port X6.
• GigaVUE-HC3 : Slots (bays) are numbered 1-4 from left upper, left lower, right
upper to right lower. The numbering of the module bays also determines the priority
of the modules for power management. Refer to
Power Management on page 55 .

:
The port labels on the module faceplate use upper-case C, Q, and X characters
to identify ports. However, the CLI uses lowercase notation to refer to ports (for
example, c1, q1, and x1).
PRT-HC3-X24 Module
The PRT-HC3-X24 module provides a total 240Gb/600Gb of connectivity with line rate
on-board switching across twenty-four 10Gb/25Gb SFP+, SFP28, and SFP+ Copper
ports. Refer to
Figure 1-5 on page 22 .
When four PRT-HC3-X24 modules are installed in the node, the GigaVUE-HC3
provides ninety-six 10Gb ports.
N
OTE
:
The PRT-HC3-X24 module does not support 1Gb.
All ports in the PRT-HC3-X24 module can be used as network, tool, or hybrid ports.
Moreover, the 10Gb ports can be used as stack-link ports.
Starting in software version 5.4, SFP28 transceivers support 25Gb.
N
OTE
:
To support 25Gb functionality, the GigaVUE-HC3 node must be equipped with
Control Card version 2 (CCv2).
For details about the supported transceiver, cable type, fanout, inline ports, and
clusters, refer to
“GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix” .
