DFE-Gold Module

Caution: Regardless of which chassis is used, the chassis system must be dedicated to DFE-Gold modules (4xxxxx) only. Do not insert 7xxxxx modules or other legacy modules into the same chassis with 4xxxxx modules as this will render the chassis inoperable.

Precaución: Cualquiera que sea el chasis que utilice, recuerde que el sistema debe aplicarse exclusivamente a los módulos DFE (Distributed Forwarding Engine) de la serie Gold (4xxxxx). No inserte módulos 7xxxxx ni otros módulos legado dentro de un chasis con módulos 4xxxxx. Si lo hace, el chasis no funcionará.

The DFE module ports can be configured to provide a high level of security, control traffic by limiting the rate of traffic accepted into the module and prioritizing traffic to expedite the flow of higher priority traffic through the module. For a complete list of capabilities, and information concerning how to configure the DFE module features are provided in the Enterasys Matrix DFE‐Gold Series Configuration Guide.

The DFE module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted into the Matrix E7, Matrix N7, Matrix N5, or Matrix N3 chassis. The power to support the

DFE module connections to 802.3af PoE‐compliant 48 Vdc PDs (powered devices) can be from the backplane of a Matrix N5 chassis or from an optional external Matrix N‐POE Power System.

The Matrix N‐POE Power System can provide 48 Vdc to support up to eight

PoE‐compliant DFE modules. The connection from the N‐POE Power System is by way of the 48 Vdc ~ 20 A Maximum Optional Power Input connector on the front panel of the DFE module.

Note: Only an N-POE Power System can be connected to the 48 Vdc ~ 20 A Maximum Optional Power Input connector of a series PoE-compliant DFE module such as the 4H4285-49.
