Chapter 2 Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Switching Modules
Gigabit Ethernet Switching Modules
The WS-X6516-GBIC module has enhanced QoS features. The QoS port architecture (Rx/Tx) for this
module is 1p1q4t/1p2q2t.
The WS-X6516-GBIC module has a single fabric channel interface. The switching module is upgradable
to support distributed forwarding by installing an optional Distributed Forwarding Card
(WS-F6K-DFC).

The front panel LEDs are described in Table 2-3 on page 2-21.
16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switching Module (WS-X6516A-GBIC)
The 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X6516A-GBIC) provides 16 switched, full-duplex
Gigabit Ethernet ports that you can configure with any combination of 1000BASE-SX, LX/LH, and ZX
GBICs, copper GBICs, or CWDM GBICs. (See Figure 2-28.)
Note CWDM GBICs are used with the CWDM Passive Optical System. For more information on the CWDM
Passive Optical System, refer to the Installation Note for the CWDM Passive Optical System.
The WS-X6516A-GBIC module has enhanced QoS features. The QoS port architecture (Rx/Tx) for this
module is 1p1q4t/1p2q2t. The module has 1 MB per port buffers.
The WS-X6516A-GBIC module has a single fabric channel interface. The switching module is
upgradable to support distributed forwarding by installing an optional Distributed Forwarding Card
(WS-F6K-DFC).

16-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Switching Module
(WS-X6516-GE-TX)
The 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switching module (WS-X6516-GE-TX) provides 16 switched,
10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports. (See Figure 2-30.) The ports have RJ-45 connectors for
Category 5 UTP. The WS-X6516-GE-TX module has a single fabric channel interface. The switching
module is upgradable to support distributed forwarding by installing an optional Distributed Forwarding
Card (WS-F6K-DFC).
The QoS port architecture (Rx/Tx) for this module is 1p1q4t/1p2q2t.
