Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module

Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module

Overview

The Cisco 10000 Edge Services Router (ESR) Gigabit Ethernet interface module addresses the growing demand among Internet service providers (ISPs) for Intra-POP interconnect. Gigabit Ethernet technology is preferred by many service providers because it is standards-based, is widely implemented by many vendors and offers excellent performance. The Gigabit Ethernet module in the Cisco 10000 ESR provides a cost-effective high performance uplink to backbone routers such as the Cisco 12000 series Gigabit Switch Router (GSR). By using Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) technology, the Cisco 10000 ESR Gigabit Ethernet module provides the interface flexibility customers require in their rapidly evolving POPs.

Product Description

The Gigabit Ethernet module is an 802.3z standards-based interface module which provides a high bandwidth yet cost-effective uplink solution for the Cisco 10000 ESR. The Gigabit Ethernet module occupies a full interface slot in the Cisco 10000 ESR (with no slot dependency), is hot-swappable, and multiple modules can be configured in the chassis to support network layer redundancy or different destinations. The module supports a single gigabit Ethernet interface based on GBIC technology enabling the user to select between a variety of gigabit Ethernet interface types (SX, LX/LH, ZX), which can be changed or upgraded at any time. (Note that individual GBICs are sold separately from the Gigabit Ethernet interface module.)
