3 Omni Switch/Router

Switching Modules

Omni Switch/Router switching modules perform software filtering, translations between
dissimilar network interfaces, and hardware-based switching. Omni Switch/Router switching
modules have an additional on-board interface connector for the HRE-X.
Currently, Omni Switch/Router switching modules consist of Gigabit Ethernet modules, auto-
sensing 10/100 Ethernet modules, Fast (100 Mbps) Ethernet modules, 10 Mbps Ethernet
modules, Voice Over IP (VOIP) modules, and WAN modules.
Important Note
Omni Switch/Router modules require the use of an
Omni Switch/Router chassis (see Chapter 1, “Omni
Switch/Router Chassis and Power Supplies”). Do not
install an Omni Switch/Router module in an
OmniSwitch chassis and do not install an OmniSwitch
module in an Omni Switch/Router chassis.
