Overview of the Switch Modules
The EtherSpeedII 10/100BASE-T 20-Port Switch Module provides 20 RJ-45 10/100 megabit per second (Mb/s) autonegotiation ports that support servers, routers, or dedicated connections to users (Figure 1-1). These switch modules can also support multiple users through a shared-media hub connection to a port.
The EtherSpeedII 100BASE-FX 16-Port Switch Module provides 16 MT-RJ 100 Mb/s fiber ports for connections that support connections to other 100BASE-FX devices, for example, switches, servers, and routers.
Each switch module is installed in a single slot of a Centillion 50/100 chassis. You can use SpeedView™ network management software to configure and manage the modules.
