Classic Ethernet Modules
4-port Gigabit Ethernet and 12-port 10/100 TX
SmartEdge® Classic Ethernet modules provide service providers with a cost-effective and flexible range of carrier-class Ethernet-
based connectivity choices that enable the construction of efficient and highly-scalable next generation Smart Broadband Networks.
Leveraging the flexible modular design approach of the SmartEdge Multi-Service Edge Router, Classic Ethernet Modules are
supported in any SmartEdge chassis and are compatible with any generation module and route processor for complete trans-
generational interoperability. Service providers can mix modules in the same chassis to achieve a highly-flexible and cost-effective
configuration enabling tailored service delivery.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SmartEdge Classic Ethernet modules are IEEE 802.3 standards-based and deliver
the full range of SmartEdge Multi-Service Edge Router functionality required for
converged and triple-play network deployments. Targeted for applications that do
not require per-subscriber traffic management capabilities, these high-performance
modules offer advanced Layer 3 forwarding and port-based IP services such as
Advanced Quality of Service (QoS), Multiprotocol Label Switching/Virtual Private
Networks (MPLS/VPN) and Virtual LAN (VLAN) capabilities. Consequently, these
interface modules are ideal for broadband aggregation uplinks, inter/intra-POP
and Ethernet uplink/aggregation deployments that require sophisticated port-level
broadband services.
Based upon a common foundation of carrier-class services and capabilities,
SmartEdge Classic Ethernet modules are available with several different physical
interface and density choices. The 12-port 10/100 TX module is an auto-sensing,
copper-based module that supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps connections at
wire-speed and offers standard RJ-45-based cable connections. The 4-port Classic
Gigabit Ethernet module is available in a standard version or an enhanced version.
The Enhanced version of the Classic Gigabit Interface Module offers increased
memory to support a higher number of simultaneous services when higher per-port
queuing capacities are required. Both versions of the Gigabit Ethernet Module use
standards-based Gigabit Interface Converters (GBICs) for deployment flexibility and
including support for copper-based GBICs.
ADVANCED SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS
All forwarding and sophisticated IP packet processing is performed locally, in
hardware on each module. Full-featured, carrier-class forwarding with advanced
port-based IP services, such as Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities for per-hop
and aggregate QoS applications with QoS propagation and rewrite are supported.
Additionally, flexible queue management with up to 1024 queues is provided along
with granular rate limiting and policing capabilities. Other advanced services include
authentication of inner and outer VLANs with accounting and statistics, and support
for subscriber-level PPPoE and L2TP management. In addition, these modules
provide robust support for MPLS Martini-draft Private Wire services.
Meeting critical requirements for non-stop operation, SmartEdge interface modules
are hot-swappable and highly resilient with full state and session maintenance
capabilities. Each interface module also supports ASIC-level microcode updates and
in-service, per-subscriber level reconfigurations without requiring system restarts or
impacting active sessions.
