UXM-E Trunk Features
The following list broadly identifies the features of a UXM-E trunk. After the bulleted list, the
remaining sections of this introduction contain tables that list the features on particular topics, such
as interworking. Actual descriptions of the features appear in the section “The UXM-E in Trunk
Mode” on page 13.
The UXM-E uses all four lanes of the cellbus.
In trunk mode, the UXM-E supports up to 8000 connections.
Note The UXM-E in trunk mode cannot support more than 4000 gateway connections. All
remaining connections can be either user or networking connections. For example,if you configure
2500 gateway connections, you still have 5500 connections available to be used for user or
networking connections.
