Cisco products naming rules and description

SHENZHEN, China - March 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Do you confuse for the Cisco products number, do you know the meaning of the numbers ?

The beginning of the CISCOare CISCO router;

The beginning of the RSP are CISCO7500 series engine;

The beginning of the VIP are versatile interface processor CISCO 7500 series products

The beginning of the PA products are CISCO 7500/7200 series modules

The beginning of the NPE are CISCO7200 series engine;

The beginning of the NM are CISCO router module;

The beginning of the WIC are wide area network interface module CISCO low end router;

The beginning of the VWIC are the voice interface module CISCO low end router;

The beginning of the WS-C are Cisco switch;

The beginning of the WS-X are engine or module switches;

The beginning of the WS-G are Gigabit fiber module switches

NN is the serial number of switches, XX is the number of ports for the fixed configurationswitches, for the modular switch is slot number, -C signs with optical fiber interface, -M module, -A and -EN respectively refers to switch software is standard or enterprise edition.

TT: applicate for 2960 CE500 switch,

TC: applicate for 2960 CE500 switch, port + dual medium inlet

LC: applicate for CE500, including POE port + 2SFP

TS: applicate for 35603750, port +SFP

PS: applicate for 35603750, POE+SPF

T: applicate for 3750, only the port

TD: applicate for 3750, said 10GBE port

FP: Small Form-Factor Pluggable, can be simply understood as an upgraded version of GBIC. The SFP module volume reduced by half than the GBIC module, can be in the same panel configuration is more than double the number of ports. Other functions of SFP module and GBIC. Some switches manufacturer called SFP module for small GBIC (MINI-GBIC), support SX, LX, TX, LH, 1000M.

With the GBIC module 5483 (into a 1000M port) 5484 (multimode, within 500M), 5486 (single multi-mode, 10KM), 5487 (single mode, up to 70KM) SFP module is corresponding to the GLC module, divided into GLC-LH-SM= (a, 10KM), GLC-SX-MM= (multi mode, 500M, GLC-ZX-SM=(single), 70KM), GLC-T= (turned into port)

GBIC: Giga Bitrate Interface Converter, is the Gigabit electrical signal into optical signal interface device. Used for hot plug can be GBIC design. GBIC is an international standardinterchangeable products. With Gigabit switches GBIC interface design as the swap is flexible, a large market share in the market share.

The other letters description for Cisco switch

T: show that the main port is the Twirst Pair

P: show that the main port supports both PoE Ethernet

S: the extended interface is SFP type of interface

D:one 10 Gigabit Ethernet XENPAK port

W: Integrated Wireless LAN Controller (50 support for up to 50 access points)

TT: the common port and the UPLink port is BaseT

LC: the ordinary export is BaseT, and partially support PoE (4 ports), the UpLink port is BaseT/SFP

PC: the ordinary export is BaseT, and support all of PoE (24 ports), the UpLink port is BaseT/SFP

TC: the ordinary export is BaseT, the UpLink port is BaseT/SFP

TS: the common export is BaseT, UpLink port is SFP

PS: the common export is BaseT and support all of PoE, UpLink port is SFP

FS: the ordinary export is 100BaseFX, UpLink port is SFP

T: the common export is BaseT, not Uplink port.
