Configuring Ethernet Modules
> Overview
Overview
The Fast Ethernet (FE) and Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modules support the routing of IP packets and quality of service (QoS) classification. These modules use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to obtain media access control (MAC) addresses for outgoing Ethernet frames. Ethernet line modules pair with I/O modules to provide particular capabilities and connections.
For complete module details, see Table 43 and the E-series Module Guide.
