HIM-4GBE/HIM-8GBE
The HIM-4GBE and HIM-8GBE are 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T auto-sensing Ethernet
interface modules. A HIM-4GBE provides four, and a HIM-8GBE provides eight, RJ-45 ports that
support Layer 3 routing. Each port is provided with a bi-color LED indicating the running status of the
port. The HIM-4GBE or HIM-8GBE is connected to the processor through a 10-Gbps high-speed bus
and can provide all high-performance Layer 3 Ethernet interface functionalities.
