Introduction 
ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch 
The ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE (Copper Gigabit Ethernet) Interconnect Switch uses 
10/100/1000 Gigabit Layer 2 switch technology to provide up to a 40-to-1 reduction in the 
number of networking cables required for each ProLiant BL e-Class server blade enclosure. 
Each interconnect switch reduces forty 10Base-T/100Base-TX server networking ports to as 
few as one (up to four) RJ-45 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T uplink ports.

Features 
The ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch is designed for easy installation and 
high performance in an environment where traffic on the network and the number of users 
increase continually. 
Enterprise Class Performance 
The ProLiant BL e-Class C-GbE Interconnect Switch features include: 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
Up to a 40-to-1 reduction in networking cables and connections by: 
—  Converting forty 10/100 Ethernet networking ports to as few as one (up to four) 
Gigabit Ethernet networking ports.  
—  Allowing the use of only one of the four Gigabit Ethernet networking ports to 
dramatically reduce the number of network cables required for a ProLiant BL e-Class 
system.  
—  Allowing use of the remaining Gigabit Ethernet ports to fit the bandwidth 
requirement. 
—  Providing redundant networking paths to each ProLiant BL e-Class server blade 
through redundant switching modules. 
Preconfiguration for immediate use with the ProLiant BL e-Class server blade enclosure 
Industry standard protocols compatible with other widely-used networking components 
Support for a total of 255 IEEE 802.1Q VLANs (including user configureable and/or 
dynamic register), for server grouping and isolation 
A variety of management interfaces
