installed for optimum performance and
reliability. Both switch fabrics are used for
traffic forwarding, doubling performance,
and one CPU acts as the master software
control engine. In the event of a SF/CPU
failure, traffic is switched via the remaining
SF/CPU module and control is passed to
the secondary CPU automatically, in less
than one second.

Fast Ethernet
The two Fast Ethernet Routing Switch
modules for the Passport 8600 are the
8648TX module and the 8624FX module
(see Figure 2). These provide high
availability, high port density and
operational simplicity for LAN server
farms and high-end policy-enabled
wiring closets.

The 8648TX module provides 48
autosensing 10/100 Mbps ports for
server and desktop connectivity using
RJ-45 connectors. It is optimized for
high-density server farms and high-end
wiring closets, delivering cost-effective
10/100 switching and routing.

The 8624FX module provides 24
100 Mbps ports for riser and inter-switch
connections using mini MT-RJ connectors.
It is optimized for Fast Ethernet risers
and long distance switch inter-connection
over multi-mode fiber, delivering up to
1.6 Gbps of bandwidth in a single trunk
using distributed Multi-Link Trunking.
Both modules support eXpress
Classification (XC) for wire-speed Layer 2,
Layer 3 and Layer 4 policy services.

Gigabit Ethernet
The Passport 8600 series Gigabit Ethernet
Routing Switch modules are IEEE 802.3z
standards-compliant and deliver wire-
speed switching and routing over both
multi-mode and single-mode fiber media.
