This section describes the 10-GbE CX4 modules.

2-port CX4 Module (Release 02.6.00)

The 2-port CX4 module on the FGS is optional. You can order the FGS with a 2-port CX4 module installed at the factory, or you can later upgrade your device.

The following 2-port CX4 module is supported:

•2-port CX4 uplinks for 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant optical transceivers (part number FGS-2XGC).

When this module is installed, the show media command returns the following display:

FGS648 Switch#sh media 0/2/1:CX4 0/2/2:CX4

2-port 10-GbE Hybrid Interface Module (Release 02.6.00)

The 2-port 10-GbE hybrid interface module contains a CX4 port and an XFP port. You can order the FGS with one a 2-port hybrid module installed at the factory, or you can later upgrade your device.

The following 2-port 10-GbE hybrid interface module is supported:

•2-port 10-GbE hybrid uplinks; one for a 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant optical transceiver and one for a 2-port CX4 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant optical transceiver (part number FGS-1XG1XGC).

When this module is installed, the show media command returns the following display:

FGS648 Switch#sh media

0/2/1:<depends on transceiver installed> 0/2/2:CX4

10GbE XFP Transceiver (FGS624XGP Models Only)

Release 02.6.00 introduced support for a 10GbE XFP transceiver specifically in port 1, slot 3..

The following 2-port CX4 module is supported:

•2-port CX4 uplinks for 10-Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable (XFP) MSA-compliant optical transceivers (part number FGS-2XGC).

Link and Activity LEDs on the module faceplates indicate operational status:

•If the Lnk LED is on, the port is connected. If the Lnk LED is off, no connection exists, or the link is down.

•If the Act LED is on or blinking, traffic is being transmitted and received on the port. If the Act LED is off, no traffic is being transmitted or received on the port.

Figure 2.9 shows the faceplates of both modules:
