Difference between WS-X6348-RJ45V and WS-X6148-RJ45V

[mustafa.mail]

Hi,

Can someone tell me the difference between the two in-line enabled modules for the 6500 switches:

WS-X6348-RJ45V and WS-X6148-RJ45V

I checked for the data sheet of both modules and there is no difference. Then Why do we have different part numbers??

Regards,

Banno,

The 6148 card is a new card that delivers the same basic functionality as the 6348 (i.e. their QoS capabilities are the same).

Two differences:

1) The 6148 is cheaper!

2) The 6148 is designed to support a future daughter board that will allow it to support 802.3af when it is ratified.

Hope this answers your question.

Regards,

Justin

I believe buffer size on the two modules are different - 1 M/port on 6348 and 1M/8 ports on the 6148.
