Table 3. Transceivers for the Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3110X Description 10GBASE-CX4 X2 transceiver module for CX4 cable, copper, InfiniBand 4X connector 10GBASE-SR X2 transceiver module for MMF, 850-nm wavelength, SC duplex connector 10GBASE-LRM X2 transceiver module for MMF, 1310-nm wavelength, SC duplex connector Cisco part number X2-10GB-CX4= X2-10GB-SR= X2-10GB-LRM= Features The supported features and specifications for the Cisco Catalyst Switch Modules 3110G and 3110X are: z Ports z 3110G: Four external RJ-45 1000BASE-T connectors for making 10/100/1000 Mbps connections to a backbone, end stations, and servers. z 3110X: One external 10 Gb Ethernet Module slot for forming 10Gb uplinks to backbone switches or routers. This module slot operates at full-duplex and uses hot-swappable Cisco X2 transceiver modules. The transceiver module is not included and must be ordered from a Cisco Systems reseller as listed in Table 3. z Two external high-speed StackWise Plus ports for switch module stacking to support Virtual Blade Switch (VBS) technology. Each 3110G switch module ships with one 1-meter StackWise Plus cable. Other cables are available for order from Cisco Systems resellers as listed in Table 2. z USB-style serial port. This is the Cisco console port, and offers an out-of-band management path if desired. A USB-to-DB-9 cable is used to connect the switch module to a PC. This cable is shipped with the switch. z 14 internal full-duplex Gigabit ports, one connected to each of the blade servers in the BladeCenter unit. z One internal full-duplex 100 Mbps port connected to the management module. z Performance features z 3110G: Auto-sensing of speed on the 10/100/1000 ports and auto-negotiation of duplex mode on the ports for optimizing bandwidth. z 3110X: Fixed 10 Gbps speed on external 10 Gb Ethernet port for maximum uplink bandwidth. z Up to 64 Gbps of throughput in a switch stack. z Gigabit EtherChannel (3110G) or 10 Gb EtherChannel (3110X) for enhanced fault tolerance and to provide up to 8 Gbps (3110G) or 80 Gbps (3110X) of bandwidth between switches, routers, and servers. z Support for standard frames with sizes from 64 to 1530 bytes and jumbo frames with a maximum size of 9216. z Forwarding of Layer 2 frames and Layer 3 packets at 1 Gbps line rate across switches in stack. z Per-port broadcast-storm control for preventing a faulty end station from degrading overall system performance with broadcast storms. z Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for automatic creation of EtherChannel links.
