GBIC Type and Hardware/Software Support
Most Extreme Networks switches support two types of GBICs: the Parallel ID GBIC and
the Serial ID GBIC. The switch uses identifier bits to determine the media type for the
GBIC that is installed. Initial ExtremeWare software versions do not support Serial ID
GBICs. If Serial ID GBICs are installed in a switch with an initial software release, the
switch will not bring up the link on GBIC ports.
GBIC Types and Specifications
Table 1-4 describes the GBIC types and distances for the different types of Extreme
Networks series switch ports. Table 1-5 through Table 1-9 describe the different GBIC
specifications.
