Nortel Networks layer 2-7 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch module option serves as switching fabric for the IBM BladeCenter server chassis. This option introduces Layer 4-7 forwarding decision capabilities and security features. Up to two Gigabit Ethernet modules can reside in the network slots of the BladeCenter chassis in addition to the current installation. The switch connects to the server blades via the 14 internal Gigabit Ethernet interfaces (server ports) over the BladeCenter midplane. It supplies four external Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to the outside world. A console interface is available for diagnostics and direct communication between the Gigabit Ethernet switch and the BladeCenter Management Module.
