Gigabit Ethernet Switching Modules
The WS-X6516-GBIC module has enhanced QoS features. The QoS port
architecture (Rx/Tx) for this module is 1p1q4t/1p2q2t.
The WS-X6516-GBIC module has a single fabric channel interface. The
switching module is upgradable to support distributed forwarding by installing an
optional Distributed Forwarding Card (WS-F6K-DFC).

16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switching Module (WS-X6516A-GBIC)
The 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X6516A-GBIC) provides
16 switched, full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet ports that you can configure with any
combination of 1000BASE-SX, LX/LH, and ZX GBICs, copper GBICs, or
CWDM GBICs. (See Figure 1-31.)
Note CWDM GBICs are used with the CWDM Passive Optical System. For more
information on the CWDM Passive Optical System, refer to the Installation Note
for the CWDM Passive Optical System.
The WS-X6516A-GBIC module has enhanced QoS features. The QoS port
architecture (Rx/Tx) for this module is 1p1q4t/1p2q2t. The module has 1 MB per
port buffers.
The WS-X6516A-GBIC module has a single fabric channel interface. The
switching module is upgradable to support distributed forwarding by installing an
optional Distributed Forwarding Card (WS-F6K-DFC).
