Preface, Before You Begin | Nortel Networks 1000BASE-XD, 8100

Preface

Passport™ 8100 modules installed in an Passport 8000 Series chassis create an edge switch entity within the chassis. These high-performance, low-cost Ethernet switches from Nortel Networks™ provide a high-density layer 2 switching system that is ideal for wiring closet applications.

This guide provides information about the features and capabilities of the Passport 8100 modules, including module specifications and switch startup procedures.

This guide discusses the Passport 8190SM, Passport 8132TX, Passport 8148TX, and Passport 8108GBIC modules. They are referred to collectively as the Passport 8100 modules. Each module is referred to specifically when features and functions are unique to that particular model.
