Overview of the Switch Modules
The EtherSpeedII 10/100BASE-T 20-Port Switch Module provides 20 RJ-45
10/100 megabit per second (Mb/s) autonegotiation ports that support servers,
routers, or dedicated connections to users (Figure 1-1
). These switch modules can
also support multiple users through a shared-media hub connection to a port.
The EtherSpeedII 100BASE-FX 16-Port Switch Module provides 16 MT-RJ 100
Mb/s fiber ports for connections that support connections to other 100BASE-FX
devices, for example, switches, servers, and routers.
Each switch module is installed in a single slot of a Centillion 50/100 chassis.
You can use SpeedView

network management software to configure and manage
the modules.
