Connecting the ESCON Aggregation Card
Connecting the ESCON Aggregation Card
The ESCON aggregation card converts up to 10 client signals from optical to electrical and aggregates
them into a single 2.5-Gbps signal. The aggregated signal is then sent through the backplane and the
active switch fabric to either a 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card, 10-Gbps ITU trunk card, or a 10-Gbps uplink
line card. Figure 3-17 shows the connections.
Note Only use Cisco-certified SFP optics for the ESCON aggregation cards.

Connecting the 4-Port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC Aggregation Card
The 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card accepts up to four Cisco-certified SFP (small
form-factor pluggable) optics for client traffic. Each SFP supports Fibre Channel, FICON, or ISC
depending on how it is configured in the CLI. The 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card converts
client signals from optical form to electrical form, and then aggregates them into four 2.5-Gbps signals
over the backplane. These aggregated signals pass through the backplane and the switch fabric on the
active CPU switch module to a 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card, a 10-Gbps ITU trunk card, or a 10-Gbps uplink
card. The cross connections between the two cards through the backplane and switch fabric are
configured using the CLI. The 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card has redundant connections
over the backplane to the switch fabric on the active and standby CPU switch modules. Figure 3-18
shows the connections.
