About the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II
NOTE
Unless noted otherwise, all references to the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II in this manual are also
applicable to the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II TX/SFP and iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II SFP/SFP.
Overview
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II allows network operators to deploy managed Ethernet
services, with a full range of remote management, traffic monitoring, and alarm
reporting features. Operators can choose from enhanced versions combining 1000
Mbps fiber to 10/100/1000 Mbps copper, or an all-copper version. The fiber-to-
copper versions are available for a range of fiber connectors (SC, ST, or SFP) and a
variety of wavelengths, supporting higher density CWDM and single-strand fiber
operation.
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II supports two main configuration modes: Standalone or
Host/Remote. When using Host/Remote, the Remote modules can be fully managed
without an IP address using a secure management channel. In either mode, the
network operator can choose to assign an IP address to the Host or Standalone
module. Or, if using a local iMediaChassis managed chassis, all local and remotely
connected iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II modules can be managed using the single IP
address of the chassis. This not only preserves IP addresses and reduces configuration
complexity, but management traffic traveling on the non-IP based transmission
channel is kept isolated from customer traffic, enhancing network security.
The iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II offers the following features:
• Securely separates the SNMP management network from the data network
