Base Blade (Middle Slot)

The middle slot is permanently reserved for the GigaVUE-2404’s base blade (2404-MB). It includes the following ports:

• Management and console ports for network and local administrative access to the command-line interface.
• Four 10/100/1000 Mbps ports (Ports g1-g4). Copper SFP's support 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. Optical SFP's support only 1 Gb speeds.
• Eight 10 Gb/1Gb ports (Ports 1-8). The 10 Gb ports support SR/LR/ER/LRM optical SFP+ transceivers. You can also use 1 Gb SX/LX/ZX or copper SFP's in the 10Gb ports for 1Gb support.

Expansion Blade (Top & Bottom Slots)

The upper and lower slots are available for use with optional GigaVUE-2404 blades, including both 10GigaPORT and 10GigaTAP blades. These hot-swap, 8-port blades bring the GigaVUE-2404 to a maximum total of 28 ports (twenty four 10Gb/1Gb and four 10/100/1000 Mbps):

• Slot 2 (the top slot) contains Ports 9-16.
• Slot 1 (the middle slot) contains the base blade, with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ports g1-g4 and 10 Gb/1 Gb Ports 1-8.
• Slot 3 (the bottom slot) contains Ports 17-24.
