GBIC Support
GBICs supported with ExtremeWare 7.1.1, and the minimum ExtremeWare version required, include:
The following table describes how each version of ExtremeWare interprets the media type of the
installed GBIC, based on either the Vista web interface, or the
show port configuration command.
All versions correctly identify Parallel ID GBIC types; however, some versions do not correctly identify
the Serial ID GBIC type because the Serial ID GBICs were introduced after the software was released.
Mini-GBIC Support
Extreme products support the Extreme mini-GBIC only. For reliability and stability reasons, third-party
mini-GBICs are not supported at this time.
