Features
■
“hot swap modules” operation—you can add a module or replace a
module without having to shut down the switch (changing the module
type in a given slot
does
require a switch reset).
■
“hot swap transceivers and mini-GBICs” operation—you can add, replace,
or change the type of any of the transceivers and mini-GBICs that you use
in the Gigabit Transceiver GL Module and mini-GBIC GL Module, without
having to first remove the module, and without having to shut down the
switch.
■
the ports on the 10/100-TX GL Module have the
HP Auto-MDIX
feature,
and the ports on the 100/1000-T GL Module have the IEEE 802.3ab
Auto
MDI/MDI-X
feature. These features operate the same way and allow you
to use either “straight-through” or “crossover” twisted-pair cables for all
the twisted-pair network connections. Please see the note on “Automatic
Cable Sensing” on page 11.
■
standards adherence:
•
the 10/100-TX GL Module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3
10Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards
•
the 100/1000-T GL Module is compatible with the IEEE 802.3ab
1000Base-T and IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX standards
•
the ports on the transceivers that are installed in the Gigabit Trans
ceiver GL Module are compatible with their appropriate standards.
See the
Installation Guide
the comes with the transceivers.
•
the ports on the Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX mini-GBICs that are
installed in the mini-GBIC GL Module are compatible with the IEEE
802.3z Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX standards respectively.
•
the ports on the 100-FX MTRJ GL Module are compatible with the
IEEE 802.3u 100-FX standard.
