Release Notes for Catalyst GigaStack Gigabit Interface Converter
Features
The GigaStack GBIC can add port density to a Catalyst 3500 XL or Catalyst 2900 XL network. You 
can install the GigaStack GBIC in a 3500 XL switch or into a 1000BaseX module that resides in a 
modular 2900 XL switch. When installed in a 3500 XL switch or a 2900 XL module, the GigaStack 
GBIC supports 1000BaseX connections. The GigaStack GBIC autonegotiates the duplex settings of 
each port to maximize the bandwidth for your configuration.
The maximum distance for a GigaStack GBIC-to-GigaStack GBIC connection is 1 meter. The 
GigaStack GBIC requires Cisco proprietary cabling. 
Features
The following features are supported on the GigaStack GBIC:
VLAN integration
The GigaStack GBIC supports VTP and Media Access Control (MAC) address-based static 
VLANs. See the Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Command Reference publication and Cisco IOS 
Desktop Switching Enterprise Edition Software Configuration Guide
 for VLAN configuration 
information.
Per-VLAN spanning tree plus (PVST+)
An independent spanning tree instance runs on each VLAN. See the Cisco IOS Desktop 
Switching Command Reference
 publication and Cisco IOS Desktop Switching Enterprise Edition 
Software Configuration Guide
 for spanning-tree configuration information.
Trunking (IEEE 802.1Q and ISL)
The GigaStack GBIC supports setting a trunk to IEEE 802.1Q or ISL mode. Enter the switchport 
mode trunk 
command to configure trunk ports and to add VLANs to the allowed VLAN list for 
existing trunks. See the switchport mode trunk command description in the Cisco IOS Desktop 
Switching Command Reference
 publication.
Support for IOS Release 11.2(8.1)SA6 or later
