Figure 41. Core-E unit
– Based on packet technology with 7 GbEth serial internal interfaces between Core-E and
peripherals (jumbo frames 9728 bytes allowed)
– 4x10/100/1000 Ethernet electrical embedded interface (RJ45): port #1 to port #4
– 2 optional SFPs: port #5 and port #6
The Ethernet ports of the Core-E can be configured in 2 ways:
1) to be used as GigaEthernet interface for Ethernet traffic (Note: for port#5 and port#6 the
optional SFP must be installed);
2) to be used to connect an MPT: MPT-HC or MPT-MC to port#1 to port#4; an MPT-HC only to
port#5 and port#6.
The flash card stores the licence type, the equipment software, the equipment MIB and the equipment
MAC address.
