CBS3130 Family of Switches
Two products form the family: CBS3130G and CBS3130X. The CBS3130G provides four copper
based Gigabit Ethernet ports and optionally four additional SFP based ports using the included
Cisco TwinGig modules. The TwinGig ports support both fiber and copper based SFPs. The
CBS3130X supports four copper based Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10GE X2 based ports. The
X2 based ports support SR, LRM, and CX4. Future support for LR and LX4 modules will be
provided post FCS. The CBS3130X also ships with two TwinGig modules. All of these ports can
be grouped to support the 802.3ad link aggregation protocol. Each blade server is connected to the
backplane using the available Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs).

Server Port Configuration
A blade server is assigned a specific port on the blade switch. This is predetermined by the
physical slot the blade server occupies in the enclosure. Table 1 correlates the server and
switch ports
