About the Passport 8100 Modules
The Passport 8100 modules provide a full complement of switching capabilities in
a Passport 8000 Series chassis. The Passport 8100 modules provide 10/100
megabit per second (Mb/s) autonegotiating twisted pair Ethernet ports, 100 Mb/s
fiber Ethernet ports, and fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports. A Passport 8000 Series
chassis with installed Passport 8100 modules constitutes a single switching entity
with distributed management and full redundancy.
The Passport 8100 modules include a switch management module and
input/output (I/O) modules. For CPU system redundancy, you can install two
management modules. The I/O modules support different types of Ethernet
interfaces with different speeds, port counts, and media types.
The following Passport 8100 modules are available:
•
Passport 8190SM Switch Management Module—management module for the
chassis (
page 1-4
)
•
Passport 8132TX Edge Switch Module—32-port 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet I/O
module, with expansion slot for optional MDA (
page 1-8
)
•
Passport 8148TX Edge Switch Module—48-port 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet I/O
module (
page 1-11
)
•
Passport 8108GBIC Edge Switch Module—1000 Mb/s Ethernet I/O module
with eight bays for installing gigabit interface converters (GBICs) (
page 1-12
)
An expansion slot on the Passport 8132TX module allows installation of a media
dependent adapter (MDA) to provide other port types. The MDAs support
high-speed connections to servers, shared Fast Ethernet hubs, or backbone
devices.
