Supported configurations
Premium FastIron X Series chassis devices support Layer 2 switching and full Layer 3 multiprotocol
routing. Standard devices support Layer 2 and base Layer 3 switching. All standard FastIron X
Series chassis devices can be upgraded to full Layer 3 multiprotocol routing, at which time they are
considered to be premium devices.
Depending on the type of management module installed, IPv6 premium devices support either
IPv4 multiprotocol routing and IPv6 host and management features, or IPv6 and IPv4 multiprotocol
routing and IPv6 host and management features. For more information, refer to “FSX 800 and FSX
1600 management modules” on page 10 and “FSX 800 and FSX 1600 management modules” on
page 10.
All FastIron X Series chassis devices optionally support Power over Ethernet (PoE), providing the
means for integrating data, voice, and video over existing Ethernet cables.
Table 3 lists the configurations supported on the FastIron X Series chassis devices.
