Summary of Common Switch Features
GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support
Most Extreme Networks switches support two types of GBICs: the Parallel ID GBIC and the Serial ID
GBIC. The switch can identify the media type for the GBIC that is installed. Initial ExtremeWare
software versions do not support Serial ID GBICs. If Serial ID GBICs are installed in a switch with an
initial software release, the switch will not bring up the link on GBIC ports.
GBIC Media Types and Distances
Table 6 describes the media types and associated maximum distances for each GBIC type.
*Extreme Networks proprietary. Connections between two Extreme Networks 1000BASE-LX interfaces can use a maximum distance of 10,000
meters.
GBIC Specifications
Table 7 through Table 13 describe the specifications for each GBIC type.
