8.2.2 Connection Blade GbE Switch/IBP 36/8+2 (SB11)
The Connection Blade GbE Switch/IBP 36/8+2 can be used as a layer-2 switch
or an Intelligent Blade Panel (IBP). It provides the following connections:
– 36 internal 1-Gbit ports to the server blades
– 8 external 1-Gbit ports through RJ45 connections
– 2 external 10-Gbit ports through SFP+ modules for Ethernet connections via
fiber-optic or copper cable
– 1 internal stacking port to the midplane of the BX900 S1 system unit
– 1 external stacking port through a CX4 connection
The stacking ports allow up to 8 SB11 connection blades to be switched
together to form a so-called stack, see
"Connection blade stacking" on
page 96 .
I
To use connection blade stacking, the firmware version of the
management blade of the BX900 S1 system unit must be at least
V4.27.
This connection blade can be used in all connection blade slots, see figure
"Connection blade slots" on page 117 .
If the connection blade is installed in one of the slots CB 3/4, CB 5/6 or CB 7/8,
the server blades must have corresponding GbE mezzanine cards. For more
information, see the operating manuals for the relevant server blades.
