About BlackDiamond 12800 Series Modules
Two sets of modules are available for the BlackDiamond 12800 series switch: the 12800 series of
modules and the 12800 R series of modules. All BlackDiamond 12800 series MSM and I/O modules use
the Extreme Networks 4th Generation ASICs that enable high availability, advanced security, and
deterministic performance independent of traffic mix. The BlackDiamond 12800 series R-series modules
further provide hierarchical QoS and larger MAC address, IP route, and ACL capacity for network
designs that need the advanced QoS features and scale. The R-series modules support rate limiting,
which is the ability to control bandwidth throughout the network. For complete details about rate
limiting, refer to the ExtremeXOS 12.0 Concepts Guide. Table 10 lists the modules available in each series.
Do not attempt to mix modules across Extreme Networks product lines. BlackDiamond 12800 series modules are for
use only in a BlackDiamond 12802 or 12804 switch. When a BlackDiamond 12800 series switch is in use,
ExtremeXOS software will not recognize a module from a different product line.
