Adding Modules to the Switch
For multimode (MM) connections, you can connect a 100BASE-FX port to a port on a target device by
using an dual-LC connector.
Adding Modules to the Switch
The Cisco IE-3000-4TC or the Cisco IE-3000-8TC switch can operate as standalone devices with four
or eight Fast Ethernet ports, respectively. To increase the number of Fast Ethernet ports by 8 or 16, you
can connect the Cisco IEM-3000-8TM and the Cisco IEM-3000-8FM expansion modules. Depending on
the mix of switches and expansion modules, you can have up to 24 Fast Ethernet ports.
Note The expansion modules cannot operate as standalone devices.
