What ports does the IBM Nortel 10Gb Switch Module have?

It features 14 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports for internal server blade connections via BladeCenter midplane, with expansion slots and stacking support. External uplinks leverage SFP+ flexibility for 10Gb fiber/copper, enabling high-density 10G Ethernet in enterprise chassis.

Which BladeCenter chassis is it compatible with?

Designed for IBM BladeCenter H chassis models 1886, 7989, 8852 as a hot-swappable module. Mounts in I/O bays, connecting up to 14 blades with full Layer 2/3 switching over the high-speed backplane.

What switching capabilities does it support?

Layer 2/3 Ethernet with MAC learning, up to 128 VLANs, 802.1D STP (16 groups), link aggregation on ports, and routing via RIP/OSPF/BGP. Delivers 10 Gbps per port for efficient in-chassis traffic management.

How is the module managed?

Managed through integrated BladeCenter Advanced Management Module using SNMP, TCP/IP, and console interface. Internal 100 Mbps ports connect to the management module for monitoring without external tools.

What are the environmental specs?

Operating temperature 0°C to 55°C, storage -40°C to 70°C. Compliant with FCC, CE, RoHS standards, suitable for enterprise data centers with standard cooling.

Yes, fully hot-swappable into BladeCenter H bays without disrupting operations. Supports up to four modules per chassis for scalable stacking and redundancy.
