58Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 modules

The 8683POSM module supports R and M mode. For specific R and M mode configuration requirements, see "R mode configuration requirements" (page 24) and "M mode configuration requirements" (page 23).

8683XLR module

The 8683XLR module ("8683XLR module" (page 58)) provides three bays for installing 10 Gigabit Ethernet small form factor pluggable (XFP) transceivers. The 10GBaseR port (10.3 Gb/s LAN PHY) operates in full-duplex mode and provides transmission ranges of up to 10 km using 9/125 µm single-mode fiber cable.

The 8683XLR module is comprised of three forwarding engine lanes. Each lane supports 10 Gb/s bidirectional traffic. All three ports may run concurrently at 10 Gb/s.

ATTENTION

Nortel recommends that you install only one 10GBaseZR/ZW on the 8683XLR and 8683XZR due to cooling limitations. Nortel further recommends that you install the XFP only in port 1. You can install a 10GBaseSR, -LR/LW, or -ER/EW in one or both of the remaining ports.

8683XLR module

The 8683XLR module supports up to three 10 Gigabit Ethernet small form factor pluggable (XFP) transceivers.

Although some of the XFPs are LAN/WAN (that is, LR/LW, ER/EW, ZR/ZW) this module only makes use of the LAN functionality.

Nortel qualified the XFPs listed in "8683XLR qualified XFP transceivers" (page 58).
