5-3 SBM-GEM-X3S+ 1/10-Gb Ethernet Switch Module

The SBM-GEM-X3S+ 1/10-Gigabit Ethernet switch module is a layer 2/3 Ethernet

switch. It includes three 10-Gb/s uplink ports (SFP+), four 1-Gb/s uplink RJ45 uplink

ports and twenty 1-Gb/s downlink ports for the SuperBlade's LAN interfaces. The

Ethernet switch module has two internal Ethernet paths to the CMM(s). The switch is

used to provide a connection between the Ethernet controller integrated on the

mainboard and an external Ethernet device. This is a hot-pluggable module. See

Figure 5-3, Table 5-7 and Table 5-8 for switch details.
