The WS-X4306-GB is a Cisco Catalyst 4500 Gigabit Ethernet module with six 1000BASE-X ports that take GBIC transceivers. It belongs to the classic Catalyst 4500 line-card class and needs Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(8a)EW or later. Changing the GBIC type lets multimode fiber and long-distance single-mode connections be mixed on the same card.
The module follows IEEE 802.3 and supports L2-4 jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes at wire rate. Cisco positions it for enterprise and commercial backbone links, switch-to-switch connections and small server farms, and for service provider small gigabit aggregation for DSLAM, PON and mobile data backhaul.
Classic line cards run at 6 Gbps per slot and fit the Catalyst 4503, 4506, 4507R and 4510R switches as well as the 4503-E, 4506-E, 4507R-E, 4507R+E, 4510R-E and 4510R+E. Ports with this module range from 6 to 12 in a 4503-E, from 6 to 30 in a 4506-E, 4507R-E or 4507R+E, and from 6 to 42 in a 4510R-E or 4510R+E. The spare number is WS-X4306-GB=.
Other Catalyst 4500 line cards include the WS-X4548-GB-RJ45V 48-port PoE module and the WS-X4748-RJ45-E 48-port line card. Further Catalyst modules and switches are in Cisco switches.
