RME-E8
RME-E8, refer to Figure 25-9, contains eight Ethernet switch ports. It has a processor
and memory subsystem and runs software similar to Expand-D. It can be used as a
plug-in to the Remote RMX-3200 expansion slot or the RME-1000 chassis.
Important: RME-E8 does not run the
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on its
Ethernet ports; therefore, users should never network RME-1000
peripherals in an environment where Ethernet switching loops can
exist.

RME-E8 Peripheral Identification
Each RME-E8 peripheral has a name that is defined in the following format:
FE8-XXXXXX
XXXXXX represent the low order 3 bytes of the peripheral’s MAC address (for example,
FE8-305E7D).
