The DFE-Platinum Module
1-2 Introduction
The DFE-Platinum Module
This section provides an overview of the 7H4382 ‐ 25 DFE module ( Figure 1 ‐ 1 ). For
information about features of the DFE ‐ Platinum modules and how to configure them,
refer to the Enterasys Matrix DFE ‐ Platinum Series Configuration Guide .
7H4382-25
The 7H4382 ‐ 25 DFE module has 24, 10BASE ‐ T/100BASE ‐ TX compliant ports, via fixed
front panel RJ45 connectors and a slot for the optional network expansion module (NEM).
The 7H4382 ‐ 25 can be installed in a Matrix E7, Matrix N7, or Matrix N5, Matrix N3, and
Matrix N1 chassis. The 7H4382 ‐ 25 can also be installed in an SS6000 (SmartSwitch 6000)
chassis.
The 7H4382 ‐ 25 DFE module also supports bridging between the Frame Transfer Matrix
FTM1 and FTM2 backplanes in a Matrix E7 chassis. When mixing 6x1xxx, 6x2xxx, 6x3xxx,
and 7H43xx ‐ xx series modules in a Matrix E7 chassis, certain hardware installation
configuration rules must be followed to ensure proper operation. These rules are covered
in Chapter 3 .
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 ‐ negotiation or manual
configuration.
The DFE 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 module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted into the
SS6000, Matrix N1, Matrix N3, Matrix N5, Matrix N7, or Matrix E7 chassis.
