Ethernet Modules
This chapter covers the Ethernet switch modules available for your MicroBlade
enclosure. The Ethernet switch modules can only be installed in the upper and lower left
and right module bays.
4-1 MBM-GEM-001 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module
The MBM-GEM-001 Gigabit Ethernet switch module is a layer 2 Ethernet switch. It
includes eight 10-Gb/s uplink (SFP+) ports and fifty-six 1/2.5-Gb/s downlink ports for the
MicroBlade's LAN interfaces. This module has two internal Ethernet paths to the
CMM(s). The switch is used to provide a connection between the Ethernet controller
integrated on the mainboard and an external Ethernet device. This module is a
hot-pluggable. See Figure 4-1, Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 for switch details.
