Hardware Overview Introduction
Non-MPLS Gigabit Ethernet GBIC Line Card
The following figure shows the front panels of the 2-port non-MPLS activated Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC)
line cards. The G8M-GBCFM-02 is used with the RS 8000 and RS 8600 switch routers.
Figure 2-22 Gigabit GBIC line cards with one GBIC installed
GBIC modules provide the media-specific portion of the Gigabit GBIC line-card, which support Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity across multiple media types and distances. The Gigabit GBIC line cards provide the power, initialization,
and control for each GBIC module. Any combination of GBICs can be used on a single Gigabit GBIC line card.
Figure 2-23 GBIC modules
Per-GBIC LINK Green – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into the port and a good link
is established.
Red (intermittent) – indicates that port hardware received an error during operation.
Red (solid) – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into the port, however,
a bad link is established.
Off – indicates that no link from the port exists.
