Summary of Common Switch Features
Full-Duplex Support
Extreme Networks switches provide full-duplex support for all ports. Th is means that frames can be
transmitted and received simultaneously, which, in effect, doubles the bandwidth that is available on a
link. Most ports on an Extreme Networks switch autonegotiat e for half-duplex or full-duplex operation.
Gigabit Ethernet and 100BASE-FX ports operate in full-duplex mode only i n accordance with technical
standards.
Management Ports
The 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet managem ent port allows you to communica te directly to the CPU of the
switch. You can plug an Ethernet cable directly from your lapto p into the management port. This
provides you with direct access into the switch and a llows you to view and locall y manage the switch
configurations.
Do not assign an in-band IP address to the management port VLAN. The management port VLAN is an
out-of-band VLAN, so if it is assigned an in-band IP address (an address where the source and
destination are in the same subnet), the switch will treat it as a normal VLAN and attempt to route
traffic through it.
The management port is located on the f ollowing Extreme Networks devices:
• Summit5i—The ma nagement port is located on th e back side of the switch
• Summit7i—The ma nagement port is located on th e front side of the switch
• Alpine—Switch Management Module (SMMi) for the Alpine series switch
• BlackDiamond—Management Switch Fabric Module (MSM64i) for the Bl ackDiamond series switch
Extreme Networks does not recommend that you use the managem ent port to route traffic to any front
panel port on the switch. The managemen t port is designed for switch managem ent purposes.
Mini-GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support
The Summit48si, Summit24e3 and Summit series switches, the BlackDiamond G16X3 module, and the
Alpine GM-16X
3
module support the small form plugga ble (SFP) GBIC, also known as the mini-GBIC.
The switches and the modules identify the type of mini-GBIC th at is installed and verifies that the
mini-GBIC is an Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC.
Mini-GBIC Typ es and Specifications
There are three types of mini-GBIC interfaces:
• SX mini-GBIC , which confo rms to the 1000 BASE-SX sta ndard
• LX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the 1000BASE-LX standard
• ZX mini-GBIC, which conforms to the IEEE 802.3z standard
Use only Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBICs, available from Extreme Networks, into the
mini-GBIC port in the switch or module.
Mini-GBIC Type and Hardware /Software Sup port
Extreme Networks Consolidated Hardware Guide 21
Table 4 describes the specifications for the SX m ini-GBIC interface, Table 5 describes the specifications
for the LX mini-GBIC interface, and Table 6 describes the specifications for the ZX mini-GBIC interface.
Total optical system budget for the SX mini-GBIC is 11.5 dB. Extreme Networks recommends that 3 dB
of the total budget be reserved for losses induced by cab le splices/connectors and operating ma rgin.
While 8.5 dB remains available for cable induced attenuation, the 1000BASE-SX standard specifies
supported distances of 275 meters ove r 62.5 micron multimod e fiber and 550 m eters over 50 micron
multimode fiber. There is no minimum attenua tion or minimum cable length restriction.
Total optical system budget for the LX mini-GBIC is 13.5 dB. Measure cable plant losses with a 1310 nm
light source and verify this to be within budget. Wh en calculating the maximum distance attainable
using optical cable with a specified loss per kilo meter (for example 0.25 dB/km) Extreme Networks
recommends that 3 dBm of the total budget be reserved for losses induced by cable splices/connectors
and operating margin. Thus, 10.5 dB remains available for cable induced attenuatio n. There is no
minimum system budget or minimum cable length restriction because the maximum receive power is
the same as the maximum transmit power. There is no minimum attenuation or minimum cable length
restriction.

Summary of Common Switch Features
The ZX mini-GBIC is compatible w ith and interoperates with long range GBICs. Fo r more information
about the budget requirements and minimum attenutation requirements of long range GBICs, see “Long
Range GBIC System Budgets” on page 28.
Safety Information
Before you begin the process of installing or replaci ng a mini-GBIC, read the safety inf ormation in this
section.
CAUTION
Mini-GBICs can emi t invisible lase r radiation. Avoid di rect eye exposure to beam.
Mini-GBICs are class 1 laser devices, and they operate at 3.3 V. Use only Extreme Networks-certified
mini-GBI C device s.
If you see an amber blinking mini-GBIC port status LED after you install a mini-GBIC into the
Summit48si, Summit24e 3 or Summit 200 series swi tch, BlackDiamond G16 X
3
module, or an Alpine
GM-16X
3
module, this means the mini-GBIC is not certified by Extreme Networks. To correct this
problem, install an Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC, available from Extreme Networks,
mini-GBIC port.
If you install a mini-GBIC n ot certified by Extreme Networks into an Alpin e GM-16X
3
module and
insert a cable to bring up the link , the port status LED remains “off” and an error specifying the use of a
non-Extreme Networks-certified mini-GBIC is sent to the sys log. To view the syslog and to determine
why the link is down, use the
show log command. To correct this problem, install an Extreme
Networks-certified mini-GBIC, available from Extreme Networks, into the m ini-GBIC slot in the
module.
Preparing to Install or Replace a Mini-GBIC
To ensure proper installation, complete the following five tasks before inserting the mini-GBIC:
1 Disable the port that is needed to install or replace the mini-GBIC.
2 Inspect and clean the fiber tips, coupler, and connectors.
3 Prepare and clean an external attenuator, if needed.

In addition to the previously described tasks, Extreme Networks recommends the following when
installing or replacing mini- GBICs on an active net work:
• Use the same type of mini-GBIC at each end of the link .
• Connect one end of the link to the Tx port. Without an attenuator, measure the total loss from the Tx
port to the other site of the link. The total loss must not exceed the total optical sys tem budget.
After you complete these described tasks, you are ready to install or replace a mini- GBIC.
Installing and Removing a Mini-GBIC
You can add mini-GBICs into, or remove mini-GBICs from your Summit48si, Summit24e3, and Summit
200 series switches, Blac kDiamo nd G1 6X

Summary of Common Switch Features
You need to dis able autonegotiation on the ports that use the UTP GBIC and manually configure the
port speed to 1000 Mbps.
The following example disables au tonegotiation, con figures a port speed of 1000 Mbps, and speci fies
full-duplex mode for port 4 on a stand-alone switch:
config ports 4 auto off speed 1000 duplex full
The following example disables au tonegotiation, con figures a port speed of 1000 Mbps, and speci fies
full-duplex mode for port 1 on a G8Xi module located in slot 1 of a modular switch:
config ports 1:1 auto off speed 1000 duplex full
The UTP GBIC is supported on “i” series products only.
Long Range GBIC System Budgets
Measure cable plant losses with a 1550 nm ligh t source and verify this to be within bud get. When
calculating the maximum dis tance attainable, usi ng optical cable with a specified loss per kilometer (for
example, 0.25 db/km), Extreme Networks recommends that 3 dB of the total budget be reserved for
losses induced by cable splices, connectors, and o perating margin. Figure 2 shows the total optica l
system budget between long range GBICs.
NOTE
The fiber loss budget plus all other penalties mu st not exceed the total opti cal system budget.

Summary of Common Switch Features
In addition to the previously described tasks, Extreme Networks recommends the following when
installing or replacing GBICs on an active network:
• Use the same type of GBIC at each end of the link.
• Connect one end of the link to the Tx port. Without an attenuator, measure the total loss from the Tx
port to the other site of the link. The total loss must not exceed the total optical system budget listed
in Figure 2.
• Use dispersion shifted fiber whenever possible. This provides superior performance in the 1550 nm
range.
After you complete all of these described tasks, you are ready to install or replace a GBIC.
