16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switching Module (WS-X6816-GBIC)
The 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X6816-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 1-36.)
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-X6816-GBIC is a fabric-dependent module that has enhanced QoS
features. The QoS port architecture (Rx/Tx) for this module is 1p1q4t/1p2q2t.
The WS-X6816-GBIC module has the following installation restrictions:
• The WS-X6816-GBIC requires a Supervisor Engine 2 or Supervisor
Engine 720.
Note The WS-X6816-GBIC must have a DFC3A daughter card installed to
operate with the Supervisor Engine 720.
• A Switch Fabric Module must be installed in the Catalyst 6500 series switch
chassis when a WS-X6816-GBIC module is installed.
• The WS-X6816-GBIC can be installed in slots 1 through 6 in the
Catalyst 6506 switch.
• The WS-X6816-GBIC can be installed in slots 1 through 9 in the
Catalyst 6509 and Catalyst 6509-NEB switches.
• The WS-X6816-GBIC can only be installed in slots 9 through 13 in the
Catalyst 6513 switch; it cannot be installed in slots 1 through 8.
