About the Passport 8100 Modules

The Passport 8100 modules provide a full complement of switching capabilities in a Passport 8000 Series chassis. The Passport 8100 modules provide 10/100 megabit per second (Mb/s) autonegotiating twisted pair Ethernet ports, 100 Mb/s fiber Ethernet ports, and fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports. A Passport 8000 Series chassis with installed Passport 8100 modules constitutes a single switching entity with distributed management and full redundancy.

The Passport 8100 modules include a switch management module and input/output (I/O) modules. For CPU system redundancy, you can install two management modules. The I/O modules support different types of Ethernet interfaces with different speeds, port counts, and media types.

The following Passport 8100 modules are available:

Passport 8190SM Switch Management Module—management module for the chassis (page 1-4)

Passport 8132TX Edge Switch Module—32-port 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet I/O module, with expansion slot for optional MDA (page 1-8)

Passport 8148TX Edge Switch Module—48-port 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet I/O module (page 1-11)

Passport 8108GBIC Edge Switch Module—1000 Mb/s Ethernet I/O module with eight bays for installing gigabit interface converters (GBICs) (page 1-12)

An expansion slot on the Passport 8132TX module allows installation of a media dependent adapter (MDA) to provide other port types. The MDAs support high-speed connections to servers, shared Fast Ethernet hubs, or backbone devices.
