Hi all,

I came across the above mention CAT 4003 module. I wanted to know if this module is a routing module. I tried searching cisco's web site but was unable to find any info on this module. Could someone please advice me? Thanks a lot.

Regards

Malcolm,

I use this configuration (4003 with X4232-GB-RJ)extensively in my network at the access layer. It is definitely layer-2 only. The card has 32 10/100 user ports, and two GBIC slots that you can use for your uplinks. Which is just as well, because the S1 card on the 4003 doesn't have any on-board uplink ports.

The card has 6 x 1Gbps backplane links to the Supervisor. Each group of 8 user ports has a 1Gbps link, plus one for each GBIC port. So no oversubscription.

Hope this helps.

Hi Malcolm,

This is L2 capable only module. There is another module which is coded WS-X4232-L3 (looks very similar) and that one is L3 capable (ie. "routing"). But the L3 module was discontinued for sale with the advent of L3 supervisors modules (Sup IV).

Best regards,
