HIM-4GBE/HIM-8GBE
The HIM-4GBE and HIM-8GBE are 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T auto-sensing Ethernet interface
modules. A HIM-4GBE provides four, and a HIM-8GBE provides eight, RJ-45 ports that support Layer 3
routing. Each port is provided with a bi-color LED indicating the running status of the port. The HIM-4GBE
or HIM-8GBE is connected to the processor through a 10-Gbps high-speed bus and can provide all
high-performance Layer 3 Ethernet interface functionalities.
