8-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Line Card With Pluggable XFP Modules Overview
The 8-port 10 GbE line card for the Force10 C-Series C150
and C300 with pluggable XFP modules, supports distances
of up to 80 km. This card provides a flexible solution for
applications spanning the LAN, MAN, and WAN.
This line card provides industry-leading density of up to
64 line-rate, non-blocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single
chassis. Additionally, the C-Series ASICs and architecture
enables line-rate performance with QoS and Access Control
Lists (ACLs) enabled, jumbo frame support, and simultaneous
L2 switching and IPv4 routing. The intelligence embedded
in the line cards allows localized switching, providing
very low latency.
Key Features
- Full line-rate throughput for Ethernet frames from 64 byte to 9,252 byte
frames on all ports regardless of features enabled
- Pluggable XFP modules providing support for SR, LR, ER, ZR, DWDM
and CX4 interfaces
- 5 microsecond switching latency under full load for 64 byte frames
- Per-port status and activity LEDs
