The WS-X6148A-GE-45AF is a classic interface module for Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches that provides 48 ports of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This module supports several network topologies, including:
- Bus Topology: In a bus topology, all the devices are connected to a single cable, forming a linear network. This topology is not directly supported by the WS-X6148A-GE-45AF module, as it requires a separate bus connector, which is not available on this module.
- Star Topology: In a star topology, all the devices are connected to a central device, such as a switch or hub. This is the most common topology used in modern networks and is fully supported by the WS-X6148A-GE-45AF module.
- Ring Topology: In a ring topology, all the devices are connected in a circular chain. Data travels around the ring in one direction, and each device acts as a repeater to amplify and retransmit the signal. This topology is not directly supported by the WS-X6148A-GE-45AF module, as it requires specialized hardware such as a ring adapter.
- Mesh Topology: In a mesh topology, all the devices are connected in a fully interconnected network. This topology is typically used in small-scale networks and is fully supported by the WS-X6148A-GE-45AF module.
- Tree Topology: In a tree topology, devices are arranged in a hierarchical structure, with the root node at the top and multiple branches below it. This topology is commonly used in larger networks and is fully supported by the WS-X6148A-GE-45AF module.
