5-2 SBM-GEM-X2C 1/10 Gb Ethernet Switch Module
The SBM-GEM-X2C 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet switch module is a layer 2/3 Ethernet switch.
It includes three 10-Gb/s uplink ports (two CX4 and one SPF+), two 1-Gb/s uplink RJ-45
uplink ports and fourteen 1-Gb/s downlink ports for the SuperBlade's LAN interfaces.
The Ethernet switch module has two internal Ethernet paths to the CMM(s). The switch
is used to provide a connection between the Ethernet controller integrated on the
mainboard and an external Ethernet device. This is a hot-pluggable module.
