The 6K25 Modules provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry-standard 

GBICs to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both 

multi-mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70)km fiber options, and for Gigabit 

copper as well, with new models appearing often.  

 

 

The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port 

modules on the Magnum 6K25s are normally 

set (factory default) to operate at AUTO 

mode for best fiber distance and 

performance. The 1000Mbps SC fiber-optic 

module on the Gigabit -SX and Gigabit-LX     1@ 1000Mb Fiber SC + 4@10/ 100Mb  

transceivers are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit standards. 

 

There are two LEDs mounted on each Gigabit port module. The Gigabit fiber 

port is by default configured at AUTO mode, and can be fix at 1000Mbps speed full-

duplex mode at any times and has LEDs that indicate LK (Link status) and ACT 

(receiving activity) on that port when lit.

Quality of Service means providing consistent predictable data delivery to 

users from datagram paths that go all across a network.  As a LAN device, the Magnum 

6K25 can do its part to prevent any QOS degradation while it is handling Ethernet traffic 

through its ports and buffers. 

 

The Magnum 6K25 switching hardware supports the IEEE 802.1p standard and 

fulfills its role in support of QOS, giving packet processing priority to priority tagged 

packets according to the 802.1p standard.  In addition to hardware support for QOS, the 

MNS software (R2) supports two priority queues that can be shared across the eight 

levels of defined packet priorities for application-specific priority control by the user 

through software configuration settings. 

Magnum 6K25’s are store-and-forward switches.  Each frame (or packet) is 

loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur.  This 

technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the correct 

CRC, i.e., are good packets.  This eliminates the propagation of bad packets, enabling all
